Our World

Some friends of mine and I went down to the Willamette River a few evenings ago and it was lovely! Clear skies, busy, but still peaceful with happy geese!!  And the boat ready to take people up the river for dinner on board!

    'Tis a beautiful river. Maybe you can take a dinner cruise one of these days. Lois and I did a dinner cruise out of Tampa for our 55th anniversary. Great fun, although she couldn't understand why I left her on the dance floor to take a picture of the Tampa skyline. :)

    I like the modest size of the boat … it would be lovely to have a meal there while cruising down the river and taking in the sights.
