Four Bloggers in Portland!

Saturday, Dawn and I were able to travel to Portland and spend the day with the lovely and just as “coolest Presbytera Everish” in person as online Presbytera Elizabeth and her family. We were treated to incredibly yummy homemade pizzas and enjoyed the chance to meet Father Paul and the kids.

After lunch, we wandered to Powells where I was very good and only bought one book. It was Dawn’s first time there – I’m sure she’s properly initiated now. We only managed to get to two rooms (the Orange and the Red) so we shall have to go back to get to more soon.

Then, we zoomed to Bridgeport Village where we shopped and met up with the “swell” Xenia Kathryn and had a lovely dinner and coffee afterwards. It was a treat to have dinner with Katie. I had a very yummy lime and cilantro veggie over noodles.

And, reports of our zany driving adventures are all true, just so you know ;) We then dropped Presbytera off at Holy Trinity and arrived home not too late.

Sunday, Dawn attended Holy Resurrection with the kids and me, and we were treated to a visit from Arielle Juliana. I think I’ve been pronouncing her name wrong, so I’ve been practicing all yesterday for the next time we meet.

One of Katie’s co-workers took this photo (left to right), Dawn, me, Elizabeth and Xenia Kathryn. Sadly, I seem to have dribbled water down my front. Oh, so lovely.
