It has been a record breaking cold wet nasty winter. It has been a long time since I felt one of these! I had to wear a Coat most of the winter! I can usually get away with just a sweater or sweatshirt!The Puyallup fair…;-) It is nice to see it through the eyes of a child again. It will bring back many memories. xo!
I just can't wait to come and see all of the exciting things you have discovered in Portland!
