Long weekends are the very best.

This was on the wall of the Indian restaurant that we stopped at in Portland.   It's a gorgeous brass piece and sets off the wall paint nicely.

I do.  My sis and bro in law live there, they own a pretty decent blow up mattress and it's driveable.  What's not to love?

This miniature heart hangs above Rachael's loo.

Always Flowers.

I went buck wild at an outlet store (whooot).  It was totally an old lady sort of shop that sold "overstock" of department store cosmetics.  Like I said, I went buck wild and still have shivers from the experience.  

Sister Love.

Yes.

4 eva.

Chilling out and digesting omelette(s).

Lovely lovely little bunch of blooms by the bathroom sink. This vase is remarkable; it's dinged up but classy and the shape / textured lines are awesome. 

Pink on pink flower power.  So pretty,  Rachie.

Rachael's style has gone a little Oregon, but she still knows how to pull out the big gold hoop bling when necessary.    Thank goodness ;)

Best butter holder in the world.  Thrifted in Santa Barbara.

Nice touch by the kitchen sink.  Maybe one of my favs...

Hand cut fries, local pinot and some crayons  adds up to a delicious Sunday night sup.

Dave making sure he picks the best burger in the joint.  (He did -- lamb w minted yogurt and tomatoes...)

Newlywed love bugs analyzing menu and kissing cheeks.

Adjusted my love note to Salem Oregon to include my road buddy.
