Saturday, Japanese Garden

So many ways to play with Cider

Working hard

We made a 10:30 am reservation for the Japanese Gardens.  That was on Ice's list of things to do.  We left early because we thought that parking would be a problem.  But we were lucky.  The weather cooperated.  It was chilly but not rainy.  

Then we drove to Top Burmese in the NOB hill area of Portland.  We sat in their heated outdoor seating area.  Delicious meal.

Nathan's noodle soup

Then we went to the bakery for dessert.

I shared the blueberry croissant with Nathan.

We headed home. We left Robbie and Ice downtown. They wanted to explore a little.  

Blanca and Cider are safe as long as there is glass in-between.

Worn out.

Ice wanted to cook.  She headed off to Uwajimaya to buy groceries.  Going there was also on her bucket list.  

She cooked up a feast.

Salad, Miso soup, Yaki Soba, with lots of side dishes to add.  Wow.  

Rebecca is missing the new kitty and Robbie and Ice's visit.  It has been almost 2 months.
