Northern Exposure

Early in the day. Portland in January. Green lawns iced with frost. Large houses in beautiful tree lined neighborhoods.

First day of this trip Winston and I made it to Medford. Then on to Portland. Two nights with an old friend. Her kids are in grades 6 & 8. So grown up.

Woke this morning before dawn to listen to a house full of kids getting ready for school, breaksfasts and coffee. Lunches made.

The light of the day long gone before 5 in the evening. Last night Lil and I got a chance to have a bite to eat and see a movie. Slumdog Millionaire. Wonderful.

I remember now the feeling of long cold winters. it is a fresh look at an old memory.

I am grateful for the life and choices I have made and created.
