The weekend turned out well. I took all
four of the kids to Portland to visit a friend of the family up there.
Their little six year old girl was having a birthday party and really
wanted Chloe there. I was tickled pink because it meant we got to go
and visit some friends we don’t get to see nearly enough of.
We got there before 11am on Saturday bearing gifts, including
piggy-ears for the dogs. The party came off without a hitch. Nobody
cried and nobody got hurt. In my book that counts as a pretty good
event. I sat up late talking with my friends while the kids snoozed
peacefully in their beds.
We visited a fort and a park on the coast south of Portland before we
came home. I have to confess that I thought that was really cool. I
think it was called Williams Fort Park.
The views were outstanding. There were sizable waves crashing on the
beach with lots of boulders and weather worn rocks nearby. The scenery
was gorgeous and the atmosphere was outstanding. There was a WWII
bunker built nearby and a collapsing mansion as well.
It took us a couple of hours to get home because we stopped for lunch,
but it was a pretty good weekend, I have to say. They were good hosts
and I like them and their kids and they seem to like me and my kids.
