artist in residence

Our latest visitors: Nancy’s cousin Val, her sculptor/photographer husband Marc, and their two 2-year-olds Isaac and Eli. We spent a fun week trying to keep up with the little’uns, who have way more energy than all us old folk put together :-).

Highlights of the week: playgrounds in parks all over the city, dinners at great restaurants, waterfalls in the Columbia River Gorge, the Portland Zoo, Portland Children’s Museum, a walking tour of the downtown art galleries & artists’ studios, a day at the coast, and a drive up Mount Hood to play in the snow at Timberline Lodge. And of course, the puppies — by the end of the first day, Isaac and Eli were already calling our house “the doggie house” and just about every day had to include a visit to the doggie house and a romp in the park with them :-).
