I had an unexpected trip to Portland over the weekend. I am getting a little more used to this throwing things into a bag at the last minute. Laif picked me up Thursday, the 11th, and I spent the night at Donna and Laif's and we left for Portland on Friday. We came back home on Monday. I just had a great time. What a wonderful family they are and all the children are just so great.
The reason I was invited was because there was a BYOB party--translation--"Bring Your Own Babysitter". Donna and Laif and Steven and Janet wanted to go to the Stake Valentine Party and they were not able to get a sitter. It happened that the youth was also having a dance that evening and so it turned out that Steven and Janet were not able to get a sitter. It turned out great for me. I had been wanting to go visit and see their house.
Saturday we went to Multnomah Falls and Lodge. I had only been there once in 1946 for my honeymoon. We were looking through the photographs and strangely found one that was taken in 1946. Donna and Laif bought it for me. I had really forgotten what a beautiful area that was.
Steven had fixed sandwiches for all of us. Also he cooked breakfast on Saturday and Sunday.
Sunday we went to Church. Janet fixed a very nice dinner for us.
Monday Steven had to work but the rest of us went to the Zoo. It was a little chilly but a nice day. I pushed Katie's stroller and got by really amazingly well. We got there about 10:00 am and didn't leave until 3pm.
I am so glad I was able to go. It was a great weekend. Thanks, Steven and Janet, for everything.
That is so fun you got to go!! I forgot about Multnomah falls. I went there a few years ago. That's neat you went for your honeymoon!
