Aslan on his window perchWell, I'm almost back to normal...still haven't been out of the house much, except for a few quick errands. Mark and I watched two great movies the past couple nights- an independent film called A Love Song for Bobby Long (go here for summary) and The Good Shepherd (it didn't get the best reviews but we really enjoyed it). Both are intense in their own unique ways. I'm really missing Portland this week. I've heard summer is in full swing, and miss our usual summer activities: walks around the neighborhood, bike rides on my 'Sweet Tomato' shiny red bike along the Waterfront, sitting outside with a good book and glass of lemonade, planting flowers in pots around the duplex, going to hear live jazz & blues at the Blues Festival, grilling brats on our tiny back patio, going to the Farmer's Market, wearing sandals, walking to Mt.Tabor, making jewelry, eating fresh salmon burgers outside at the Kennedy School, hiking in Forest Park, going to Cannon Beach or Oceanside for some lazy weekends...so in honor of summer in Portland, and because I don't have any new ones from here, I'm posting a few photos I've taken from home.

Oh, please do trade places with me for a week! I long for winter, the heat makes me ill. You named your cat Aslan, I love it, brilliant reference! That poor longhaired kitty Sabine looks miserable, though... my cat Spooky doesn'do well in the heat and had a case of heatstroke a couple of days ago. It scared the hell out of me, but after a cool shower and some cold water to drink, she got better pretty quick. Poor girl, she and I just need to find an Alaskan summer home.
Yay that you are feeling better, honey, and I promise some sort of Portland fun when you come back... assuming you come back to Portland. You are coming back, right? Even if MCL isn't where you want to land, I'd miss you if you disappeared entirely. *sniffle whine*
I am feeling better, thanks, and despite missing home, I'm really liking it here. But I will be coming back to PDX end of Sept, I promise.
