My friend Alyce has come to stay for a few days and we have been having fun together. We have played with the puppies and taken their 7 week photos. Then we went to the movies and saw Julie and Julia and thoroughly enjoyed it, if you have not been, try and see it's very good. We followed this up with a dinner at Joe's Crab shack, where we had wonderful Dungeness crab, sitting out on the deck of the restaurant overlooking the Colombia river - a great place to be on a summer evening. Today we went for a drive to Mt Hood and Timberline Lodge. The picture above is Alyce at the front door of the lodge. I don't think I have ever been up there in the summer, when there was so little snow - I guess our hot weather a couple of weeks ago wiped a lot of it out. However it is one of the few places in the USA where you can ski 12 months of the year. We took a ride on the chairlift as high as we could go and sure enough below us we were able to see keen people skiing and snowboarding and a lot of other people just hiking the trails. It was a lovely day up there with temperatures in the high 60's, and hardly a cloud in the sky.
