Oregon visit Part II

Kendra is also gorgeous - and very busy. In addition to a new job (which means she has no time off while I'm visiting) she also is enrolled in an MBA program. Her free time is limited!

Since I am staying with Erika & Adam, and Kendra's free time is little, Saturday and Sunday activities are declared to be her choice. I borrowed KJ's bike rack, and we went to Target to buy a bike - it will belong to Erika but I will use it while I'm here.

Sunday we go out to breakfast. We had the good fortune to be in a booth right next to Ed Bagley, Jr - he plays a character in one of my favorite TV shows Six Feet Under. There I am with daughters and granddaughter. There he is with son and grandson. We spend some time together in the restaurant's children's corner.

Then, some time to play at a park with Ripley a bit. She scared all three of us when she came down the slide face first! She cried, but her adrenaline levels obviously came down a whole lot faster than ours! A little cuddling, a little kissing - and she's ready to go again. We were still cringing inside!

We worshipped together at Kendra's congregation - Immanual Lutheran in the North West section of the city. We tried to get Ripley home in time for a nap, but little success. She napped just enough in the van to be cranky. Back at Erika's we visit a bit, then I head out on the bike. Portland has a reputation as a very bike friendly city - the bike paths I found were lovely - now if they could just do something about the rain!
