Installing the washer/dryer takes longer than planned (so nice not to be on a schedule), sooooo
…we make the most of our stay in Oregon’s leafy state capital
Volunteers at the Riverfront Carousel happily explain (at great length)……how they design, hand carve and paint each colorful steed. The entire process can take up to three years.After the Farmers Market we enjoy a leisurely walk in Bush’s Pasture Park…and Deepwood Estate.Riding our bikes along the Willamette River, we come across a lily pond (and experiment with the “oil painting” feature on our photo editing software)

Hi you two! I’m really enjoying all the photos — don’t be too surprised if they turn into a painting (with your permission of course).

We would be honored to become part of your talented body of work.
nice website, great photos. My folks just did a river cruise on the Columbia from Idaho to Portland. I recommend stopping in Hood River and visiting Full Sail Brewery. Then camping along the hood river on the side of Mt. Hood. cheers

“a few days longer than planned”?
how could installing a washer/dryer take more than an hour or two?
great pics, BTW. 🙂
Don’t even get us started! It began with the manufacturer shipping the parts a week late, included 10 hours of labor to (among other things) correct pre-plumbed pipes that were skewed just enough so the washer they swore would fit didn’t, and ended with the installer snipping through the wiring when he cut the hole for the vent. On the plus side, the delay meant we were near a Kaiser a few days later when I had to go to the ER and wound up in the hospital for two days. Wasn’t that lucky? 🙂 And I soooooo love the convenience of having the W/D now.
