It's before 7 AM here in Portland, Oregon, and I'm looking out on the city from a 12th-floor room. Gorgeous, cool day out there. We head to Astoria/Fort Stevens this morning for a few days of R&R on the coast. We had a cloudless sky for a garden wedding last night at the Overlook House on the Willamette River. The bride and groom looked fantastic. So did my brother, Dave, the beaming father of the bride. Afterward I danced with Dave, with my husband, and with our daughter at the Acadian Ballroom. What a great day!
