Powell Butte











Today Nibbles and I went hiking by ourselves. It was very nice and relaxing, without BB and Woogy. It was our first hike alone, since the boys were off biking. (I can't pull Nibbles in the bike carrier, it hurts my knees too bad. I have bad knees from running. )

Anyway, it was a beautiful 65 degrees and it was so clear we could see Mt. Hood and Mt. Saint Helens from the Butte. And I am grilling some Ribeye and New York Strip steaks for dinner so it might turn out to be one of those really great Sundays, unlike yesterday. We were attempting a trip down to Silverton, Silver Falls State Park, but got caught in the worst traffic jam. We gave up trying after an hour and went someplace local for a hike. Then we tried to go to this pizzeria, which according to the internet is open, that serves great gluten-free pizza. It was closed. And the exit we needed to go to this other restaurant wasn't accessible. So we went to our third choice for dinner. So after yesterday, this was a welcome change.

That sounds like fun.

I can't wait until NJ can hike along with us rather than just get toted around.

Woogy doesn't make hikes very fun. Sorry your gluten free pizza place was a bust.

Sounds like you had some nice mother/daughter time. Sorry the day before didn't turn out so well.
