We're having a brilliantly sunny day here in the Columbia River Gorge of Oregon and I needed a photo of the local Grange Hall for a newsletter I'm doing for the
Friends of Multnomah Falls - so I rousted myself and hubby from our warm farmhouse for a drive and some photo taking. Below is Vista House from
Portland Women's Forum State Park & Viewpoint. Lots of snow in the mountains.
Below is a view of Mt. Hood from our little town of Corbett, this is what you see behind the school building! Cool, huh?
Another shot of Vista House and the gorge.
Have any of you gotten into the "Twilight" books and movies? Well, many of the scenes were shot in the gorge, and the "Prom" scenes were shot here at the Viewpoint Inn near Vista House. We had the opportunity to buy this historic house at one time for just $100K, but it was long ago and we didn't do it and I kick myself. It's an awesome place with a view towards Portland.
A closer photo of my beloved Vista House. I was a founder of the Friends of Vista House and was the Executive Director there for 15 years. It's been totally restored and it's beautiful inside and out.
On the drive back from Vista House we stopped to get a photo of this cliff covered in icicles.
Once home I took these photos of a little sweater and baby afghan I made for my sister Denise's first baby many years ago. She'd given them to my daughter to use for her first baby, but my daughter was worried to hurt them so never used them. Now that she's going through all their things to give away before they move to Ohio (sigh) - she found these and returned them to my sister recently. I asked to bring them home to photograph them for posterity. I also might submit them to a Daughters of the American Revolution - American Heritage art and craft contest.
I would like to re-produce this blanket design before I give it back to my sister. Isn't it just a pretty one? Have any of you ever seen this design?
A detail of the corner of the design.
Detail of the center.
You know, I must say that I'm amazed that I made this! I think it's a stunning design. Can you imagine the rainbow in this done in primary colors?
Well, time to get back to finishing the border on my rainbow granny stripe blanket. I'm getting close, the 2nd row of a 3 row border. You'll be seeing photos of that soon!
Have a wonderful weekend! We will be seeing our little granddaughters tomorrow, that is always special.
((hugs)) and love to you -- and thank you SO much for all the precious comments on my last blog, it just thrilled me! Teresa
