Michelle's new glasses

Michelle's turn to update her image - Vote for your favorite. :)
She tried frameless glasses, but we decided it's just too naked. She didn't like the thick frames either so let's see what we can do.
CLICK the pictures to zoom in.

#1 - kind of neat, a little too sharp on the points.

#2 - oooofff... not good... I can see why she doesn't like thick frames....
#3 - too bling blingy
#4 - this one is not bad, she didn't like the thick legs though.
#5 - another bling bling glasses. kind of cute actually, but probably not good for work, too cutesy.
#6 - this one is really too cutesy and Michelle doesn't do cutesy.
#7 ding ding ding, I think we got a winner here. It's got a nice dark red metallic color that didn't really show up on camera. She'll probably get this one.

Well, what do you think???

Joe's new glasses

I just got my new glasses, check it out! Like it?
Pettygrove Park
The leaves are turning in Oregon. We found a nice maple near the Keller fountain.
We went to the glasses store to make an appointment for Michelle and then we went to pick up some lunch afterward. This Indian food cart is right around the corner from our building. I got Lamb Vindaloo and Michelle got Saag (spinach.) yummm....


King of Rice. They are closed today, but I heard they are really good. We'll have to try them on a weekday. Ignore the mess on the floor, I didn't do it. :)

Michelle with some falling leaves near the court house.
More Michelle.


Check out my Nike. ooohhh.. a lot of colors. Too bad they are not comfortable. I got some padding from Target, but it didn't help much. I probably have to give these to Goodwill soon. Stupid shoes...

To be continue...
Michelle tried a bunch of new glasses at the store, I'll post the pictures and let you vote next time. :)

Bagby Hot Spring

Today we went to Baby Hot Spring. We left at 8:30am to get there early. Bagby is in the Mount Hood national forest. The drive there was fantastic. We went along the Clackamas river and saw great mountain and river views. We got there around 10:30am and got started on the hike to the hot spring.
The bridge at the trail head.

Another cool foot bridge.

Ahhh!!! The pay off. We got there around 11 and got us a private tub and cubby, yeah! This place is really busy in the summer, that's why we wanted to get here early. This is a long log tub, it's really awesome. The tub is about 10-12 feet long. I want one at home.

Here is the water system. The hot water comes from the spring and you just have to plug the drain hole and then pull the stick that plug the in coming hot water. I had to get 4 buckets of cold water to mix with the hot water.
We're done at noon. You can see a few people at the waiting area. This hut has 5 private cubby and a public area. The public area has a big round tub (5 people) and 3 log tubs (2 people.) This hot spring is clothing optional so that's why we wanted to get a private cubby. Of course the public area only had guys. We stopped at Safeway to get some granola bars when we left earlier.

Here is the hot spring. You can see it go from the spring down to a wooden aquaduct to the tubs.

Refreshed and it's time to go - 1.5 miles hike back to the car.


All in all a great trip.
