In our saris

Anjali was so excited that we were all wearing our saris' and that we all matched too! As far as she was concerned we were all going to her wedding...

Summers come... and go...

I believe the 2008 summer is over. Here in the NW we never really even put away our sweaters this summer. It was certainly a busy summer with lots of hiking, camping, a visit to Kentucky to see my family, and even a kitchen remodel squeezed in there! I captured the essence of it all here.
Summers just always zoom by... always tell myself that I am going to do a whole laundry list of things, but end up doing something totally different.

Why we love Portland - 17

The predictable views of Mt. Hood is one of the reasons people move to Portland. Its just awesome. This was the best view I'd ever seen... from a hike to Mc Neil point. We actually turned back on this hike since the snow pack was still about 3 feet high on the trail (in July). But as we were coming back we met a hiking group led by a guide from Maryland (go figure!) who invited us to join them. At the end of the day we were so glad we did!
