Sunday in Portland/Woodland

Day two after the getaway.  Sleep in, have a leisurely breakfast, hit Kettleman’s bagel and head out to the Klein ranch up north.  Right before we left, Teri made shortcake for the fresh strawberries we got yesterday at the Farmers Market.  When we arrived, Travis was putting a double batch of blue berry/banana muffins in the oven.  So we stuffed ourselves on fresh bagels and whipped cream cheese, strawberry shortcake and hot from the oven muffins and called it lunch.  Sorry, no pictures of the food, too busy stuffing myself. 

We took a short walk with the horses, cat and dogs and Travis helped me with a new drafting program that I’m going to have to learn.  Then it was time to head back.

Here are a few picks of the day.

Sorry, no sunset shots, we were deep into Thanh Thal's Thai/Vietnamese cuisine by then.
