It's a Brand New Day

And I'm likin' it! What a joyful time in America. I am so hopeful for this new administration.

I'm so glad the negativity and divisiveness that has been in place for the past 8 years is behind us. I want people to realize that we are all in this together and it's time to stop pointing fingers at others and start pointing them at ourselves. We are the solution. If we're not willing to help fix this mess, we have no right to complain.

Enough of that. It's a clear, cold, sunny day in Portland. Because it was so windy the last two mornings, I did not take the dog for a walk. This morning I felt I had to make it up to him so we were gone for a little longer than usual. He seemed satisfied with that! It was pretty cold when we started but I warmed up right good as we walked the neighborhood. We love it that Oleson has sidewalks from Garden Home to Hall. It has increased the variety of our routes. Thanks Washington County!
