Win a $50.00 Barnes and Noble Gift Card!

It's Tuesday Blog party time. I am a little late in starting, but I hope you'll take a moment decide to drop a donation here.

This blog party is in honor of my niece, Tuesday Fiona Whitt... Tuesday lost her battle with cancer last year. Her parents have created Whatchagonnado.org, to help other families who have a child with cancer. It will help provide travel, food, daily expenses and if needed, funeral arrangements... I wish that organizations such as that weren't needed... but until there is a cure, there is a tremendous need for Whatchagonnado.org...

My mom and I are donating a $50.00 gift card to Barnes and Noble! The perfect mother's day gift or gift to yourself!

So, how do you win?

Aoife's Playhouse

Paul spent the weekend building Aoife a playhouse! It still needs a roof, a porch and a paint job, but we all LOVE it!!

Harvest Party in the Gorge

Every year we head up to Corbett, in the Columbia River Gorge for a big harvest party. Aoife enjoyed some corn and I enjoyed the view of the gorge on the way home!

Swifts!

OK, so these aren't very good photos, but if they were better you'd be able to see hundreds of little birds circling around and flying into a chimney. These are Vaux Swifts and every September they spend the month roosting in a chimney in a school in Portland. We went to watch and got a great show this year--several hawks were hanging out and kept swooping in for a swift. When they did, the whole group of swifts would fly off and circle around over and over. It was a great show. As Aoife kept saying, "bye bye birdies." (I think the hawks were saying that as well).

Bikes!

If you need us, we'll be out riding bikes....
