She’s adorable.
Introducing…. the Little Miss, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl.
Well, we’ve added a new little member to our family. Her name is Riley. She’s 2.3 pounds and a total bundle of joy. Weston isn’t totally sure about her yet, nor is she sure about him, but they are getting acquainted and will soon, I’m sure, become fast friends. Until then we’re doing a lot of supervised visitation. She’s so cute…

Weston was patiently waiting until the canning was done so we could be on our way home from Mom and Don’s place.

The green beans we canned. Tasty.
At Pressure, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl.
Besides painting at Mom and Don’s we also picked and froze corn and then picked and canned some green beans. There will be some good eatin’ at our house this winter.

We went to Mom and Don’s last weekend to help them paint their house and their re-siding job looks fantastic by the way. This is Weston taking a break from painting.
Actually, Kev came by with his paint sprayer and finished the rest of the house in the same time it took us to do one little section. Paint sprayers… a plus in my book.

These are blooming at the house right now. Lovely.
Golf and Pears, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl.
While golfing we came upon a pear tree. These are some of the pears we found near the course.
Ready, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl.
I golfed one afternoon last week with friends. I have a tournament coming up this coming weekend and we needed to take some of the rust off of our game. Not sure that happened, but we had fun anyway.
Mama Mia, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl.
And again I’ll say… Happy Birthday to Me! I had a great day, ending with a very nice dinner at Mama Mia, downtown Portland.
Leave the Gun, Take the Cannoli, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl.
After enjoying a mini birthday party at our house and then walking around in the city, we went to dinner with friends on my birthday at Mama Mia. I had cannoli and an espresso for dessert. Both were good, but the cannoli… ah… really great.
Streetcar Passing, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl.
Sometimes we take the streetcar to get around the city, though on my birthday we used the more traditional walking method.
Walking in Portland, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl.
I had a wonderful birthday this year. I took the day off, Karen took the afternoon off, and we wandered the streets of Portland just hanging out, talking, and taking pictures. No better way to spend the day than with Karen and Weston.
This is Jamison Park in the Pearl District.

Karen has a great memory, especially when it comes to me saying I want this silly thing or that throughout the course of a year, or five. She remembered that I loved this TV series from the late 60′s. And here it is, the complete series on DVD for my birthday. Way cool. She is spectacular.

The Boy, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl.
This, obviously, is Weston on my birthday. He was hoping to get some tasty ice cream cake. Sadly, he didn’t get any. Poor guy.
Happy Birthday to Me, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl.
My birthday was last week. Happy birthday to me! Anyway… I asked for only one thing… a cheesy ice cream cake from Dairy Queen. And here it is… the cheesy ice cream cake from Dairy Queen. It was good. Really good.

Ah, So Relaxing, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl.
This one is a bit dark, but I had to include it. This is Weston at the Farmer’s Market. We’d stopped to listen to a band that was playing and this is how Weston chose to hang out and listen to the band. I think he looks pretty comfy.
Yum, Peaches., originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl.
We wandered over to the Orenco Station Farmer’s Market one day the weekend before last. We picked up some of these lovely peaches. They were as good as they look.
Harvest Moon, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl.
There was a big beautiful harvest moon the other night.
Large Ships Passing, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl.
Out on the river these big daddy ships pass quite frequently. It’s a bit disconcerting when they’re barreling down on you, but as long as you’re out of the channel, they won’t run over you. It just looks, sometimes, like they might.
Shady Character, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl.
This is one of my fishing compadres. It was a bit cold out there on the river and this is his outfit to fight against it. The thing on his face is actually supposed to be turned the other way and the holes that are on his chin are supposed to be over his eyes. We said he looked a bit like the unibomber here. Scary. In all actuality, he’s a great guy. Jim, we won’t hold your bad fashion sense against you. We still love ya man.
Morning on the Line, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl.
I went fishing on the Columbia a couple of days with some friends of ours. Poor Karen couldn’t go. We didn’t catch much, just a couple of sturgeon we couldn’t keep, but it was fun none the less. Talk about peaceful… no wonder so many people spend so much time out on the water. Very relaxing.
Sunflowers, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl.
Mom and Don grow some outstanding vegetables and flowers. They have ultra green thumbs. It’s fantastic.
Enormous Chimes, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl.
Back at Mom and Don’s place, where we were a couple of times this month, here is a photo of the enormous chimes they have in their yard. They bought the chimes, then had to build this beautiful wood structure to hold them. Pretty cool… they rock.
