I wish I'd had my camera...

Tonight we went to "Last Thursday" on Alberta and it was so much fun. The perfect summer evening activity. Yummy food, local art and music, superb people watching. Superb. If you live in or visit the area- go. I highly recommend it. It was a fun way to feel more connected with the people in our city. When you're all standing around listening to the same street musician, it feels like life can be simple and all can be well for a moment. On our way out of the neighborhood, we patronized the coolest place ever:

That's right, The Grilled Cheese Grill. They serve a variety of grilled cheese sandwiches out of an Airstream Trailer (ours was delish) and you have the option of sitting at a picnic table or in a school bus that's been renovated with tables covered in old yearbook photos. I wish their website had pictures cuz it was seriously brilliant. You must go and partake.

Oh, I love that place. I keep thinking I want to go by during the "unofficial" dance party's they throw on weekend nights.

I had the most wonderful Carrie day a while ago. I was flipping through - I think it was the Portland Monthly - on my way up to Mt. Hood and there you were staring back at me wearing some fancy hoody and looking cool. Then that evening I made it back to Portland for a concert at the Crystal Ballroom, and I am looking for a parking spot - and there you, your adorable dog, and your husband are crossing the street. I wasn't sure how I would get your attention, so I just let the moment pass.. But it was a great moment - and I wanted to share it with you.
