I’ve finally reached this last weekend. Mom’s weekend. Saturday we ran around like crazy people, hitting this store and that, preparing to leave. Buying bully stix, and a wallet, some clothes, and the food we’re taking to Mary (stuff she can’t get in England…. you know, Mac and Cheese in the box, Rice-a-roni, Dots. A girl has to have her comfort/junk food. It’s tragic she can’t get it there).
Sunday… we went to Ken’s Artisan Bakery on 21st to pick up these little beauties and then headed over to Steph and Phil’s abode for a little mother’s day brunch. Nate, you rock the dutch babies.
After brunch we were home again, trimming trees, and stacking wood. All in a days work and a weekend for two babes such as ourselves.
… Happy Mom’s Day (a bit belatedly sadly) to all you fantastic caring mother’s out there.

This was taken right before we decided to turn around and head back to our respective vehicles. Just then the rain started to drop down. We didn’t care… after all, we live in Portland.

Cinco de Mayo In Full Swing, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl.
The Cinco de Mayo celebration was going full swing on the west side in Waterfront Park, a tad early, but full swing none the less.
Big Pink, originally uploaded by Tokenhippygirl.
Here she is… the Bancorp Tower, locally and lovingly known as Big Pink, is the second tallest building in Portland. Or at least it was, which could have changed now with all the south waterfront building that’s been going on. However, I don’t believe any of those buildings are as tall as this recognizable beauty.

Here it is… the continuation of my posting about LAST weekend. Not this one just passed. No… the previous weekend. Again I say, how lame am I? To which I reply, because I often talk to myself electronically through my own blog, not lame at all… busy.
I love this photo. I took it while wondering around the east side with the troupe. Random, yet cool.
