Home again, home again, jiggity jig.

I’m in Oregon for the weekend, visiting my mother for her 50th birthday party. Her birthday isn’t actually until July 1, but she’s celebrating early with a friend of hers who is also turning 50. Her parents are here, as is my dad’s mother, and all of my siblings. Except for one, who isn’t allowed to stay at the house anymore. But she’ll be visiting for the party and I’ll definitely see enough of her. It’s like a reunion of sorts, though, especially since I haven’t seen my grandfather on my mom’s side in several years.
On the flight in I was excited to be able to see Crater Lake, Mt. Hood, and Mt. St. Helens. As the plane neared the airport it struck me just how much I missed the intense greenery of Oregon. Portland is such a lovely town, and I miss it very much. Hopefully I’ll take many pictures this weekend, which’ll help keep it fresh in my memory. And maybe bring some Voodoo donuts back to San Francisco
