"Portland is Portlanding" is the most Portland headline out there.

I have been distracted and personally overwhelmed, but I am so proud of my city. Emergency Naked Bike Ride was today so look forward to that in the news it was a cold and wet day for it.

Megbert Wow I just googled this, what a fabulous city of morally decent humans! The naked protesting cyclists, committed!! 2w
ChaoticMissAdventures @Megbert ❤️ I love my city! We really are just a bunch of weirdos who want to see good in the world. The city has a long history of political protesting and I think we do it in a really clever way. 2w

I have been looking forward to making this list ALL day! we are just back from a trip to Alaska:
1) Glaciers - apparently the blue of a glacier is best seen in August? 🤷🏻‍♀️
2) Baseball! ⚾️ went to a game yesterday and weather was perfect (home now but still on vacay)
3) Basil for pesto
4) Friend sent me poem book!
5) Another friend just texted that her knee surgery went well and another friend is recovering from donating ⬇️

BkClubCare Her kidney to a stranger!! She is now a town celebrity. Maybe I should have led with this 🤨 All are doing well 👏 ❤️‍🩹 2mo

TheBookHippie What a lovely list. ♥️ 2mo
Bookperson96 Had a similar feeling when making mine. 🙂 2mo
BkClubCare @TheBookHippie - wonderful! There really are angels among us. Great story. Here‘s the news on my friend: https://www.kansas.com/entertainment/restaurants/dining-with-denise-neil/article... 2mo
BkClubCare @Bookperson96 - first things first on Fridays! Not that I get around to it, but I think 🤔 💭 💡 about it! 😂 I should do it every day… I keep a journal but it ends up being a to do list more than a grateful list. Will do better. 😉 2mo
Bookperson96 👍😉 That‘s a start. There‘s always a new chance. Maybe try to do it before going to bed/falling asleep (if you are not too worn out). @BkClubCare 2mo

BkClubCare @Bookperson96 - good idea 👍 2mo

Leave those dishes, I should have said. Come play with me in the forest, I should have said. The world will end tomorrow.

If it‘s bad news, I don‘t want to know. I want to pause here, in this moment, the moment before I know.

People will tell you that everything is clear in hindsight, but really it‘s just rewritten.

Portland, Oregon is destroyed by a massive earthquake, catching Annie by surprise while obliviously shopping for a crib at Ikea. Everything comes crashing down and the heavily 9-months‘ pregnant Annie, escaping the rubble by the skin of her teeth, starts walking to her husband‘s work. She‘s accompanied, at time, by the Ikea worker who saved her life. This is the story of her walk through the destroyed city while talking to Bean, the baby she‘s ⬇️

Texreader carrying. Annie tells Bean about her love for her husband. We also learn about her dissatisfaction with herself and her original horrible attitude about being pregnant. This is the story of her changing relationship with her husband and Bean while she walks. From that point of view, it‘s an excellent story. However, if you‘re reading a story about a pregnant woman‘s attempt to find her husband during an apocalypse, it‘s woefully incomplete. ⬇️ (edited) 2mo
Texreader The reader gets to decide whether the author/main character achieved her objective. And truthfully I don‘t know which point of view matters the most to me. That leaves me somewhere between a good book and a so-so book. #CampLitsy 2mo
BarbaraBB It didn‘t match King of Ashes for you I think! 2mo
Texreader @BarbaraBB You are correct! 😉 2mo
Bette It‘s been a while, but I remember that after having taken her journey being unsatisfied with the end. 2mo
