Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: “pant.” Use one the word “pant” as is, or find a word with “pant” in it and base your post on it. Have fun! – Lind G Hill
I arrived Portland on Tuesday night, was eagerly anticipant of my daughter’s Baby Shower on Saturday. My daughter’s best friend coordinates the Shower. I was a proud participant of hosting team by preparing food and drinks.
Will’s cousin and her daughter arrived from Seattle on Thursday night to attend the Shower on Saturday. Will and Mercy took Friday off to spend time with them. The weather was very mild. Will took us to the river in Moulton Falls Regional Park in Washington. We stopped by one area with calm water. Both Will and Mercy jumped into the cool water. I rolled up my pants and got my feet and legs wet. The nearby Water Fall was gorgeous. Mercy and I both enjoy photography; we lingered and snapped the shots from different angles. It was such a relaxing afternoon with family.

In the evening, I did my assignment of preparing the fruit skewers. I am excited about the baby Shower and expect to have many, many participants.

I’m leaving home at 5:30am, hopefully 1 1/2 hours will get me to the airport. The best spot is Bend, Oregon. Hopefully people are there already. Local people will sat put and won’t travel too far. My daughter and son-in-law will work at home, a friend of theirs have two days off not to get on the road. It’s a big deal here1

Yeah, I can imagine. We had a wonderful 2 hours in front of our house, with several neighbors getting together, all with proper eclipse eye protection, we even toasted the eclipse – and the neighborhood – with some sparkling cider. It was awe-inspiring and amazing and fun!

I looked at a few photo clips from Nasa, one with the total eclipse from Oregon. My daughter worked at home, she looked at the sun every 10 minutes. She was amazed.

My son-in-law did a lot of kayaking on this river, and went down on one waterfall some years ago. It seems like to nice place for picnicking, swimming and kayaking or hiking.

Great fruit skewers!! Photos are a beaut! If I remember correctly, the water must be cold or colder than ours in the tropics. Our waters are warmer. Portland, Oregon does have nice waters and scenic views👍☺
I wonder if the Chinese Restaurants are still there in Chinatown?

They don’t go to Chinatown often, so I don’t know if it’s still there. The fruit skewers turned out very well. Everybody liked them!!
