~Forever Young~

This set of photographs was shot on Mother’s Day this year in Portland Oregon.   My daughter, her pug and I were playing carelessly in the park, as I gazed over at the swing set and for just a moment, I could see my daughter swinging twenty-five years earlier. The reminiscent thought was and always will be cherished.
That’s why I named this set of photographs, “Forever Young.”

~I left my heart in Portland Oregon~

image

Just returned from a month visit from Portland Oregon where my kids and grandkids reside.  It was a good reminder of what I love and miss the most.  Family and Portland. We are moving back soon.  Home is where the heart is and my heart lives in Portland.

The breweries, the art, and the atmosphere of freedom. What a beautiful place it is…

A gift from the heart

My daughter Candice is so thoughtful. She is always buying, or makeing me unique gifts that are usually a treasure of nostalgia.

She gave me this necklace last year while I was in Portland Oregon. It appears to be one made in the 70’s.

She gave it to me for no apparent reason other than, she thought I would love it, and of course like everything she gives me or makes me it’s sincere and precious to me.

I miss Portland and I miss my children.  I have two daughters and four grandchildren that reside there, and I’m certainly overdue for a visit.
