I haven’t forgotten about you, friends! I’m super excited to tell you about our trip to Bend over the holiday weekend. BUT most of the pics are on The Husband’s phone (not insurmountable) and the videos need some kind of IT voodoo to make them postable (extremely insurmountable. I already tried googling and I still can’t figure it out).

So, until I can sweet talk The Silver Fox into taking pity on a poor blogger, I’ve got a little something to whet your appetites:

Next Miss Binney taught the class the words of a puzzling song about “the dawnzer lee light” which Ramona did not understand because she did not know what a dawnzer was. “Oh say can you see by the dawnzer lee light,” sang Miss Binney, and Ramona decided that a dawnzer was another word for a lamp. (Beverly Cleary, Ramona the Pest, p. 15)

Happy 4th of July to all my US peeps, from another Portland girl who doesn’t quite know the words.

Love,

PM and Justin, just hanging out at a rooftop party in downtown Portland, no biggie
