<span style="color: #444444;">Like most of us Oregonians, I could use some more sunshine,
which is not always readily available in Oregon, but I love it here anyway!</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Recent research
reveals that people who live in northern climates can experience problems
related to lack of sunlight. When daylight is reduced, Melatonin production
increases, causing greater drowsiness and lack of energy. It affects a person
physically, emotionally, & mentally. This problem is easily corrected
through the use of full-spectrum lighting fixtures.</span></div>

pictures of ceramic sculptures were popping up from my friend Jeffrey Thomas.
Knowing of his lifetime interest and involvement in ceramic and art, I was
intrigued. So I stopped by after work one Friday. </span></span></span></div>

tour exploring the inspiring work of featured artist Brad Mildrexler’s
“Monoliths and Megaliths”. Brad’s pieces cry out to be touched! Brett explained
the way the artist glazed and fired the pieces in daring and experimental ways,
c</span><span>ombining
natural slips, rocks, glass, sand and even concrete to formulate his glazes.</span><span> So much expression, texture, and color.</span><span> “While massive in scale,
the surfaces of his work are detailed, complicated, topographies. The molten
heat that Monoliths and Megaliths exudes is visible and tactile.” says Jeffrey
Thomas, Director of Eutectic Gallery.</span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #999999;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">One day (last Monday) I felt like staying home all day and cooking. I made pasta & meatballs from scratch, cooked all day and a beef stew. This will get us through the whole week perhaps. It was really pretty outside. Sometimes just being able to hang out on the porch in Portland is a mini adventure/vacation. </span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #999999;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I wish I had stopped there on the porch, but no I talked my tired husband on going on a little adventure before dinner! I promised we'd not get caught in rush hour traffic (I had lots of secret streets.) We would listen to lovely music and he could even read his book!</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #134f5c;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I love Portland Oregon! Everyday is an adventure and I want to explore it with you "bit by bit". Just a little taste of here and there (not a whole neighborhood). I don't have that much energy! A little adventure for a minute or two or couple of hours at the most. A discovery of a new restaurant, shop, park, block, fun people, interesting pictures,...(endless possibilities).</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: #134f5c;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Stay tune for my first adventure...</span></span></span><br />
