Today I had the rare opportunity to spend some one on one time with my mom.
She goes mall walking every morning and then visits with friends over coffee before leaving the mall. I met up with her there and then we drove up the gorge to Multnomah Falls and had breakfast at the lodge. We were able to get seated in front of windows that had a view of the falls and the lush greenery around the lodge. Afterward, we went to the Troutdale Outlet Stores and did some browsing. Mom hadn't been up the gorge since before dad passed away 5 years ago. She really seemed to enjoy it. I am glad we were able to share the time, the beautiful weather, and scenery together.
