Great Coffee Great People
As sure as the day breaks in Portland, you will find me sipping a cup of hot coffee.
On warm days, I sit on the patio with Ginny, my Goldendoodle, who wonders when we are going for her morning walk.
In the winter, we sit by the fire listening to soft music. If it is raining, Ginny is much less interested in going for a walk. She is a fair-weather girl!
Rose City Coffee
In my cup you will find Rose City Coffee. Rose City Coffee
The people are lovely, The coffee is great. I take it on trips. I give it as gifts.

Snow & Twitter
Portland had a bit of snow over the weekend.
This morning we awoke to ice and more snow.
Unlike our hardy cousins in the Midwest or Canada, we bundle up and stay indoors at the mention of icy weather.
Apache Blessing
My preconceived notion about Apaches is limited to American history classes and popular media where they were often referred to as savage warriors. This reputation spread to Europe with the result that in France, the word “apache” refers to an outlaw.
Finding an Apache blessing posted on a friend’s refrigerator offered a balance to my view of them as only a vicious people. Of course, if I were defending my family and my way of life, I would be warlike also! Continue reading “Apache Blessing”
