Here are better pictures of my car during the day.....

Here's the new grandbaby, Damien Michael Perrott. This is Andrea's first child. He was born July 24th and weighed 8 lbs. 2 oz. He is a very good baby.

Hawaiian Cruise on the Willamette
I got to go on a cruise today on the Portland Spirit! An oral surgeon who is friends with our dentist invited us to come on the cruise. There were real Hawaiian dancers, great food and I even tried to learn to hula....anyone who really knows me knows I don't learn things fast that require coordination! The weather was fabulous today, too. It was almost like a trip to Hawaii (and the closest I've been to going there).

Feeling a little crafty....
I made this handbag out of satin ribbons for a friend's birthday. It turned out absolutely gorgeous, but was a lot more work than I thought! Satin ribbons like to slide around when you are trying to sew them in place.

My New Car!
So, it's not EXACTLY a new car, but new to me and very nice.....It's a 2002 Infinity I35. It has lots of fun stuff and has some get up and go!

The last wooden PT boat - I got to see the only wooden PT boat left. It has been fully restored with the original Packard engines, torpedoes, and guns. It was in Portland for a Maritime Heritage festival. Very nice...The guys who restored it are mostly WWII veterans who served on PT boats.
