Of course what I'll miss most in Portland are all our good friends. The people we have met over these last 8 years are what has made all the difference. Our lives have been blessed by so many. This post is about 'non-people' things that I will really miss.
Mt. Hood - watching over Portland in all her glory |
Burgerville Onion Rings - Walla Walla sweet onions cooked to perfection and dipped in garlic aioli |
Guide Dogs for the Blind - my Wednesday 'Dog Day' |
The walking path by the Willamette River - right by our apartment |
Lakeridge Ward and Lake Oswego Stake - years of teaching seminary and serving |
Beautiful Skyline of downtown Portland - bridges really add to the beauty of a city |
Portland Temple - impressively large and full of light and truth |
Our cozy apartment - in an complex of 50 buildings I'm glad we've been tucked over in this relatively private, quiet corner |
10 Grands Concert - so much talent on display |
Morning walks - discussions of family, church, politics, music, humor, marriage; so many problems solved |
Lake Oswego Saturday Market - we both loved being able to walk to the market, the grocery store, restaurants and even the movie theatre |
Goodbye Portland! Thanks for the wonderful 8 years!
