Emily is here! Emily is my friend from Philly, and I'm working for her dad this summer at Tommy's bike shop. I drove out to Emily's house this morning. Her parents bought the house about 20 years ago. At the time, it was a "fixer upper". Now, it's a little slice of paradise. See below...
On five acres of land in Carlton, OR they have a beautiful flower and vegetable garden, a stable with two horses and pasture, and even a HUMUNGOUS old cannon (strictly for ascetic purposes, don't worry). It's really inspiring to see what Pat and Robbie have built for themselves out there.
This is Breezy!
Emily and I drove into Portland to go trail running on the Leif Erikson and Wildwood trails. The trails were great, and the weather was perfect. I was wearing my newish Vibrams (toe shoes) and my poor feet took a beating on the rocky trails - but no matter. We ate lunch and then sat in the park watching little hippy kids play in the water.
Later on, I came back to Emily's house where we helped her mom in the garden before having a DELICIOUS dinner! What a perfect day!
Emily likes gardening
Thought for the day: Making shit is so much more satisfying than buying shit. :-)
