Hot Day in Portland

The Flea and I got a early start to Stumptown show in Portland. Was going to spend afternoon in local park reading a book but by the time we arrived in Gresham, Flea was limp, feeling the heat and I was needing some relief too. So we headed right to the Motel Hilton 6, on 84.

Yeah!! they had a room ready and we checked in.

I had gotten book two in the Sookie Stackhouse books, that True Blood is based on. Sat in air conditioned room and read it in one GULP. So good.

I have HBO in room and will try and see a episode.

Sister Lisa drove into town after work and leaving Flea in room with TV and fans went to a all time family favorite, Tad's Chicken and Dumplings, on the Sandy River.

Ohhhhh, it was so good. My garlic shrimp good..... the sides out of this world. Smoked Salmon chowder to start. Green beans and bacon, and a dumpling with chicken gravy. Roll me out the door on a gurney:) The dumpling I could not stop eating.

Had a great time, was so beautiful out on river. Fun to catch up.

Check out tadschicdump.com. Funny website is homage to their neon light on the fritz for 20 years.

Early day tomorrow, so off to bed.
