ahh Em!

And we keep moving.

From San Francisco to Klamath Falls Oregon and then to Portland.

Now we are with Emily (though she is in school at the moment) while Lia takes a well deserved break.

Klamath Falls temp was 19 when we woke up Thursday evening. Portland is having a cool snap and last night it frosted pretty hard, for here.

Meanwhile back home the highs are barely out of freezing, and next week single digit temps are expected. Our house will start to freeze at about 20 below zero, so we are safe for a while yet.

Lia’s house in Portland is a tall house on a very sloping lot. You go up about 8 or 10 feet to the garage level, then up stairs to the main floor over the garage with the bedrooms over that. It is a fairly small house (1200 feet) with good natural lighting all over the house.

The house was seriously remodeled recently, but the windows are all aluminum framed, but the glass is double. It has a real wood burning fireplace, and it even has a gas jet to help get the wood fire going.

And once again, Lia is away. It is a new kitchen a new house and I am fixing food! There is good food all over the place, but like our kitchen, little of it is “ready to eat.” That is good, btw.

We are going to the book store in a bit. Powells claims to be the biggest independent book store. The main store takes a full block of space. We will go to a branch store, not as big, but PLENTY big.

Tonight we go to a fashion show where two of Lia’s dresses are to be shown. Emily and I will be the “artists reps.”

It would be hard to find more devoted pair of reps!
