Oh, well, we did hit the Lucky Labrador, and as you can imagine, Mom was in her element at the social gathering of Portland dogs out on the loading dock, not to mention all the Labrador retriever photos inside. Gld you got to see the place.<BR/> Portland's a good city - some other good restaurants and microbreweries, the Rose Garden, Powell's Bookstore, and good wineries not far from the downtown. Also close to ocean, Mr. Hood and Columbia River.<BR/> And Oregon is the only other state in the union, besides our beloved NJ, to be stupid enough to ban self-service gas stations.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4991822441564311416.post-16216915182291969382007-07-13T21:07:00.000-04:002007-07-13T21:07:00.000-04:00Scott-I'd offer my brother's couch to you in Portl...Scott-I'd offer my brother's couch to you in Portland, but I'm guessing you're not staying there much longer. Glad you're still having fun, but I'm a little disappointed that I haven't seen your special pose in any of the pictures. I do understand the pose works better with a group though. <BR/><BR/>-MandyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
