Having a Nice Visit in Portland

Luckily, my 700 mile drive up to Portland yesterday was quite uneventful. Though, on a few of the hills near Grants Pass the truck wasn't going very fast, the Ford Ranger was a quite a trooper and didn't give me any problems towing that very full trailer.

I've been enjoying the visit up here with our friends. Much catching up has taken place.

Today I went to two different RV lots in Portland. While both of the RVs I went to specifically see would be fine, the dealers didn't appear to be motivated to make amazing deals. Sure, the units were marked down a bit off list (maybe 10%), but clearly they aren't in enough distress for me to be interested. =)

I was also happy to get a chance to go to Burgerville this afternoon. I know it's lame, but it's one of the things I missed moving out of the area.

  1. Yeah, I love Burgerville, too. Hubby grew up in Vancouver and has fond memories of eating there with his folks, but the nearest one is in Centralia--a good two hours away. I assume you're going to resist temptation and NOT go to Fabric Depot?? Hee hee!

  2. I probably will resist Fabric Depot on this trip. I do plan on making it to Powell's. I am still looking for quilt blocks for my memory quilt and they'll probably have a lot of books to peruse; maybe I'll find something or find some inspiration.

    At least it's not all embroidery or applique!

  4. That site looks awesome! Thanks. I'll probably need to order her Winsome Wildflowers pattern packet. Thanks for the lead. =)
