Happy Happy Happy to see dear dear friend (Marseile) in Portland! Hugged and Hugged, heart happy to be in the same space again! Thai to-go for din, good wine and easy conversation before hitting the sack. Omelettes in a.m. followed by Spa (soak and sweat!) Spent beautiful (sunny) afternoon: sprucing up the roadsplattered “bug” charging her battery (surprisingly dead) shopping for BBQ potluck (Sun.) much needed hair cut followed by a ride on the “Big Dummy” back to the house with M’s beloved (Andrew.) Ended 2nd eve. curled up on the on the couch watching “muppets.” Simple, good, relaxing.
