Super nice day hanging out with max, GabÉ and diane I. pOrtland . the hilight of the day for me was a stone cutting lesson from GabÉ. He’s teaching me to make a polished bird bath. You start by carving out a bowl shape in the rock using a diamond saw . Lots of noise and flying debris . What’s not to like ?!?













Diane made yummy pizza for lunch and we ate on the porch. Such beautiful weather !


I found this awesome face in one of the pieces of artichoke .. meet the artichoke king !



We all took a walk to the store and took advantage SoC being out to sightsee : flowers , biker memorials , tr es and cupcakes …lots to see
