Jamison’s first day of school 2019
Jamison starts school again today. No longer do I get to be there to take the picture so I texted Jamison, asking if he’d take a selfie for me. This picture was the result. Above and beyond! :-)

Visiting Ecola State Park
Another weekend and the last before Jamison heads off to college. What to do? What to do? Ride bikes around Hillsboro? Longboard Mount Tabor or the Banks-Vernonia trail? Visit Cannon Beach? We loaded our longboards in Jamison’s car and headed west. By the time we got to Cannon Beach, we’d decided to visit Ecola State […]

Cannon Beach Sunset
“Mom’s going to be home from work soon. Wanna go to the beach?” Oh, that ranks right up there on my list of favorite questions. :-) Doing the math, an hour fifteen there, we would have about 15 minutes at the beach before sunset, stay at the beach a while longer, then an hour fifteen […]

Cannon Beach with Mousse
It had been too long since we’d visited Cannon Beach. This weekend, we corrected that. :-) We took our chairs and a ball and thrower for Mousse. At home, she can take it or leave it when it comes to fetching. At the beach, she must fetch. What a beautiful day!

We were a little farther from the baseball action this year, actually beyond the outfield instead of along […]

Hillsboro Fourth Of July Parade 2019
I love me a good parade and Hillsboro has a great one! The Fourth is the one day of the year I feel comfortable taking strangers’ pictures. After all, they literally paid to be in public, wearing what they’re wearing, doing what they’re doing. And most don’t seem to mind. Hopefully none of those I […]

Longboarding the Banks to Vernonia trail
As a last hurrah of Jamison’s spring break, he invited me to longboard the Banks to Vernonia trail with him. It’s a nice, long, gentle ride. The weather was wonderful and the trail was dry. Jamison also took some videos with his phone. Thanks, Jamison for the invite! That’s my boy. :-) Photo credit. The […]
