The Dex Scrapbook, part one


Our visit from Dex and the week of vacation we took together was so special that I'm having trouble with the words to describe it. I think I need time to process the depth of feelings and fun that Dex, Michael, and I shared. Images I took will have to do for now.

The first three shots were taken on Dex's first day in Oregon. We are standing in the backyard of The Pittock Mansion in Portland, a property that offers amazing views of the city and Mount Hood in one direction and Mount Adams and Mount St. Helens in another.





The next day we went to Silver Falls State Park, Oregon's largest state park at 8000 acres and only 14 miles from our home in Silverton. Having had such a rainy spring the falls were especially spectacular.










I loved viewing all this beauty as if for the first time that day.

    Nancy~ I really appreciate your comments after my posts about Dex. He loved Silver Falls...said they have waterfalls in the Philippines but they do not compare with SF.

    kj~ So far beyond coincidence is a great description for Dex coming into my life. Thank you for your insights.

    Riyadh~ Sweet of you to mention that, and yes we did have a great time. We even spoke about you, so you were here in thought!

    Rhi~ Those falls are really rushing right now. Very refreshing!

    I am getting extra sleep because I've been downright drowsy!

    francessa~ You have been so busy in your life, and I consider it an honor that you find time now to catch up with the goings-on in my life. You are right...it was exciting to have Dex here. We miss him since he has been gone!

BEGINNING IN 2014 I will reply to only occasional comments here, while appreciating every visit and all comments! My reason is to enable me to utilize that time to read and comment on your blog posts instead! If/when I get more organized I may later return to replying to comments here, but one of my New Years resolutions is to spend more time at your sites: reading, enjoying, learning! Thank you for understanding.

If your blog is associated with a Google+ account, I may not be able to visit you from your namelink. I do not wish to join Google+ and the site sometimes requires that I do so in order to read/comment on posts there.
