Portland Days: working on day 12

I failed to mention in last post and cannot figure out how to edit it. We visited with Tom's cousins Julie and Roy in Medford. Julie is my go-to person for baby afghans. I no longer wonder what to give. Let me know if you need a gift. Medford is half way, for us, between Bay Area and Brian.

Continuing the hunt for the best fish tacos.




Wooden sign on wall of Robo Taco. The verdict was - throwing knives.




Now to address our visit to the produce farm. Washing




Working




New tools




Eating...Marionberry Scones - a finished product we got to enjoy. The jam and marmalade and pickles will take the long road home with us for sharing and tasting. I hope some friends will can and pickle along with me this fall. Hoping to fashion this after the Portland Preservation Society, which Brian belongs to.
Cup with a bird through it is a sampling of Brian's ceramic work..
And then......




Sunday Brunch at DinDin. Pompoms hanging from ceiling. From their Matinee menu I had "milk-braised pork with Lillet sauce, poached egg, spigariello & crisp potatoes. $13. There are many wonderful little places to eat in Portland, creative souls who love to cook with a passion and flare.

We walked by the "taking down" of a sand castle event in Pioneer Square.




Manual labor provided by the city or state.




Proof
Back home








Just outside of Brian's home and it was gone a few minutes later. It will make a great thermofax screen for screen printing. Will just need to delete that spider.




Furniture shopping




I have an Interview in the current online In Stitches magazine by Jane Devilla.
I talk about gathering images and using them in my quilts.




Also these last few days:::: Liam joined us for brunch, Michael and son Jack dropped by on way to a motor something. A trip to Mills End, I bought fabric - will mail home. Home Depot for paint to paint small porch off the new studio, shoe store - I bought 2 and we still have dinner ahead.
I am attempting to keep track of this adventure for me and I hope someone is watching. J
