Sunset on Valentines Day

Valentines day started with a rose,card and a box of Lint cho.hearts. We spent the day shoping and went out to eat, and ended with a some photos taken in Portland and a great sunset. Today we went to the Portland Museum of Art the had an exhibit called "Back Stage pass" Photos of Musicans from various time periods...Great stuff....a lot of black and white photos (my fav. format) all and all it was a great weekend topped off with a stop at the store for some new videos.

Thank you Sammy Duke!

I just realized something Sam's been telling me for years

Im really good at remembering people...not their names but people. I can recall everything about an event right down to the smells in the air....BUT as me how old I was or what year it was....I have no concept of time.....I can roughly estimate close to the event but I am horrible at recalling dates and time.... I hate that!
