Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone,
We just stayed home the whole day and didn't go anywhere. The Portland zoo had a free day and we were thinking about going to see the new baby elephant, but it's too cold. We've seen baby elephants before anyway, and we could pet them in Chiangmai. 8)
Michelle made a great Thanksgiving meal today. No turkey though. We got green beans, yams, mushroom risotto, rack of lamb and Oregon pinot noir. We got the rack of lamb from Trader Joe's and it was really good, juicy and yummy. We took a big nap afterward and just kick back, didn't make it to the zoo.

November

It's November already, the weather is getting cooler and wetter. We are mostly staying in town on the weekends now since it's difficult to drive in the rain.
We still have a few nice days left. This is early November.
Pill Hill - Oregon Health Science University, VA hospital, and other hospitals. The leaves are turning read and gold all over, very nice.We went for a walk at the waterfront park. Here we are at the downtown marina. The Portland beach is in the background there, it's pretty rocky.

The Hawthorn bridge is getting an examination. Convention center in the background.

This is the middle of November after 10 days of crazy rain and gray sky. Beautiful view of Mount Hood at dawn.




We went to get some food. Michelle got a nice veggie/fruit sandwich from Half & Half, a granola crunchy coffee shop that plays obnoxious music. I got a Thai green curry fried rice from I Love Thai Food cart.

Another food cart - a Korean Bento shop. This cart used to be a Corn on the Cob cart from LA. The Korean ladies just painted Korean BBQ line at the top and added corn on the cob to their menu. They sell yummy Kalbi and Bibimbop.

While we're waiting for the Street car to come home, we saw this window at Knit Purl a knitting/fabric shop. All the "food" were made from wool. i liked the carrots, neat.

When we got home, the view is still awesome!!!

Happy November. I'm looking forward to Thanksgiving, I'll take an extra day off to relax a bit.
bye for now

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???
