what have we learned? (part le deux)

i've learned that: Micron 01 brand pen (thank you, you know who you are) is my favorite for sketching and i plan to carry it with me everywhere i go along with an old tin of colored pencils... there is nothing so deliciously simple as a margarita pizza...that sketching the flowers and outdoor strings of light while waiting for said pizza at The Firehouse is even better...how to make lavendar wands and the way it makes your hands smell...my favorite bookstore chain is going out of business which makes me want to open a small new one at the coast...The Bucket List is a funny, poignant movie...combining candied ginger icecream with mexican chocolate is delicious, especially on free sprinkles day at Ruby Jewel...only in Portland can you stop by the side of the road one day to take pictures of round hay bales and go to a downtown concert featuring Vagabond Opera the next (fantastic local band)...how many kinds of salt there are and how to taste them at The Meadow...you can kayak from Cedaroak boatramp under I-205 to the falls and see a bald eagle...hammocks are great for sleeping in under the stars...i'm more french than american (according to "entre nous: a woman's guide to finding her inner french girl" by debra ollivier)...lychee sorbet is quite refreshing on a warm summer evening...you can't have just one order of roasted cauliflower with lemon creme fraiche...adults should have play dates like kids do (can so and so come out and ride bikes with me?)...blueberry buckle from morning-picked berries makes you want to eat it for dinner too...and if you think something might take a couple of hours to really enjoy? give it an entire day, you won't regret it. so many doors, take your time.
