Day 2-4 of Portland

Day 2 of my vacation trip my sister said she was feeling like she might be coming down with a cold with a little scratchy throat ....no big deal so off we went with her husband to the Rock and Gem show that was in town in search for that perfect treasure....no treasures to be found at this rock show so we had lunch at the local health food store called New Seasons and then decided we should head home for my sister to get some rest so we could be up and ready early in the morning to go to a Jazzercise class to get in some much needed cardio.

Day 3

The next morning I was up and ready to go for the class but Dennie was not up to it so she decided to stay home while her husband dropped me off for the class. I had only gone to a Jazzercise class once before years ago, this was a really good class with lots of cardio and strength training, I was dripping wet when they came to pick me up after class was over.

Dennie had some time to take some medication and was feeling a bit better so we ran home long enough for me to take a quick shower, drop Steve at home then we were off to the Saturday Market. Portland's Saturday market is really just a swap meet lost from the 60's tie dye everything and lots of good people watching with a local band playing music.

Day 4 - Sept 25th ...My Birthday and rain was in the forecast for today!

How dare mother nature play with me that way....3 beautiful days then my birthday rolls around and rain??? With the rain upon us and Dennie still not feeling great we decided to stay in for the day, plus our instructor from Art and Soul was stopping by to pick up all her supplies that she has shipped to the house since she lives in Baltimore and couldn't travel with it all. Barbra and her husband came by around 10:00 and we spent about an hour getting to know them ...both were very nice and we now we are so excited for the class on Tuesday we are besides ourselves. At 5 0'clock we got ready to go out for dinner and listen to some blues music ,we were to met my great niece and her boyfriend at a restaurant called the Refractory, we didn't stay too long since Dennie wasn't feeling good at all and we want to make sure she is feeling better to go to our class on Tuesday.
