Living Large in Millwaukie

(The title is not a typo, that is how they spell it)

We cannot move into our new house for 2 weeks. We were so lucky to house sit for Mike and Beth (who have moved into their new house, but haven't sold their old one).....so we have our very own house all to ourselves.

It has been wonderful to have this break in the middle of moving. A nice, relaxing period with no house stuff to deal with. We have enjoyed it.

Millwaukie is a south of Portland.....it is its own little town. Very cute.....they had the Millwaukie Days festival last weekend, and we went to see the fireworks on the river. It was a lovely night....warm, but with a good breeze. The fireworks were great....Mo loved them, plus the music featured the latest summer Top 40 hits.....'gotta get that boom, boom, boom....." Could it get better.....oh, yes it can......

My favorite part was the concession area. They had a beer garden and a Papa Murphy's pizza truck. That was it! Who needs fancy food carts with crepes, gyros, and wraps........beer and pizza.....I like the way Millwaukie rolls.......
