The Loop de Loop

Mamop came down for a nice long visit and we showed her all the neighborhoods of Portland she'd never seen before and she showed me how to tie my shoes which I've tried many times but have never completely done before.


It was a thrilling feeling to finally get that second loop through the first loop and pull it tight for the big bow. We all screamed with a grand sense of accomplishment.


Most of all it was great just to sit with Mamop in the sunshine, reading or shoe tying or talking or just feeling some peace.
She promises to come back soon and I am remembering this promise.
