Gratitude

Well, May is nearly over and I haven't written much on my blog this month. I've had company twice, and just lots of other things happening, but I have been feeling lots of gratitude for all kinds of things. Over the weekend I had a great time getting to know an old email/phone/reading friend. We did the Portland touristy thing, but different. First, we went to Hughes Water Gardens in Tualatin. If you like water gardens this is a must go. You'll find beautiful grounds, with fountains, pools, plants, pots and just lots of beauty and peace. You can just walk around and look at the water lilies and other plants and have a great time. Then a movie< Railway Man--great movie. And yesterday, time at the Chinese Gardens. Peace, peace, peace. I'm grateful for all of these! What a wonderful weekend! So much to be grateful for.
