Disclaimer: I try to adhere to the dictum, "If it's not about Skeeter, it didn't really happen, and it's not funny, don't post it." But, somethings just aren't funny and it is my blog after all. This is neither funny nor about Skeeter–just important (I think). Oh well–In for a penny, in for a pound. My husband had a co-worker commit suicide and it threw him for a loop. I could tell Earl was dying (OK, poor choice of words) to ask me if I'd ever thought of it, but also afraid of my answer. So I sent him this email instead of saying, "Well, hell yes!" and thus stifling any chance of a dialogue. Given that we sleep together, an email may seem ridiculously impersonal, but it gave me time to think, write, and think . Earl had time to think, read, and think . Earl, I know your friend is on your mind, wondering how her plan could have been missed. How bad could life have been? Could you ever inadvertantly overlook importa
Yes, the PNW (Pacific Northwest) is truly charmed - but not for everybody! As a tourguide of NW Oregon, and a Portland native, I find the visitors I see daily from around the world are love-it or leave-it. But from my *slightly* slanted perspective, like you, Tam, I am completely in love with my home environment, and that's what I can't help putting across to my tour guests.
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos! All are quintessential of the parks and wild spaces around the region.
I'm glad you are out-and-about getting filled up with the local scenery. The scents in the air are really transforming. How fun to have welcoming neighbors.
