Portland Surprise!!!

Did I mention that I had a FABU time in Portland a couple of weeks ago??? I love Portland. Love the food, love the yarn stores, love the Benson. Love, love, love Portland. But this most recent trip was extra special because I got to FINALLY meet Katie's good friend Becca. It's been Becca this, Becca that for months now. Every time that I went down, we never got the chance to meet. (To be honest, I almost got to the point that I started to worry a little about Katie and her "imaginary friend" Becca). But no worries, Katie doesn't need a straight jacket (yet). This trip I met the one and only Becca. Not only did she introduce us to Voodoo Doughnuts most unmentionable carbohydrate delights and Pambiche marvelous Cuban Cuisine, but the girl knits. Making her practically perfect in every way. And if that wasn't enough, I got a great card & package from her this week with these adorable martini earrings. Upgrading her now to totally perfect in every way. Thank you Becca, you shouldn't have (but I am very glad you did). Can't wait til we meet again and you get your first taste of Pink Martini!!!!



I also have to say, that I was truly blessed 21 years ago with this little person named Katie. I am so glad that she has made the choices that she has in life, because each and every one of them has made my life much better. I am glad that she played hockey, quit hockey to go to SOTA, found Ashland her sophomore year, left Ashland for Portland and puts up with all of my crazy addicitons. Without her my life would be merely 3 sad shades of grey. I could go on, but I won't. So for all of her fabulousness, I made her a small token of my esteem ... socks, the color of which is Puck's Mischief. You knew I would work knitting into this some how :0 Love you Katie!
