Saturated: 104/365



Portland, Oregon is rainy, but it doesn't seem to mess with anyone's fun.  Precipitation is often shrugged off with "this is just a misting!" All of the rain makes nature's colors more saturated, talk about green! Regardless, it was a hard place to leave.  I miss my family and friends there already, but I was grateful for a chance to reconnect with them all.

Until we meet again!

Voodoo: 103/365

The signature Voodoo doll doughnut filled with raspberry filling, complete with a pretzel stick stake.

I took this pic Sat when we got here, the line wrapped around the block, so we passed.


Since it's open 24 hours, we went late last night and waited 45 minutes.


Scored the donuts!

My fav: the Diablos Rex



I just had to have some of these perversely named doughnuts.  With slogans like, "The magic is in the hole," "All good things come in pink boxes," how could one resist?   Please check here for a menu and a giggle.  This was the box we got, notice the three Marshall Matters (M&M covered ones for the kids).  Which one would you have gotten?

Globe Trotting: 97/365



Today after arriving in Portland, we jumped on The MAX and headed to Waterfront Park's weekend market.  I forgot to bring a snow globe with me, but luckily when my son and niece put a few dollars in what seemed to be a mannequin's jar, he reached in his back pockets, pulled these out and began a juggling show.

There are lots of other pics I hope to get up soon, but I should get to bed;)  I will leave you with this statement that I love.
