June 10, 2009 - a perfect day

It's a Wednesday--our usual "home day". We started out with a relaxed morning at home with Indigo watching some shows . . . then the three of us enjoyed Indigo opening some birthday gifts. Then we all ventured out to Genie's on Division for a fun breakfast with art supplies and a pancake and orange juice for the 5 year old birthday girl. Drizzling but not cold and we went to Washington Park rose garden to take in the amazing feast for the senses--roses in all their magnificent glory and the scents and sights permeating our souls. We played on the stage, where I once danced as a Dutch girl ballerina with my park bureau ballet class--in the dress and hat that Great Grandma Connelley sewed for me. From there we went to find the Willamette Trolley only to learn it is not operating currently (line needs repair). Then off to Rose's for a very rich chocolate cupcake with a beautiful red rose on top. Home for more shows, dinner and a hot tub soak before bed. A perfect day. Portland rocks. Five year olds rock too.
