Presidents Day Week-end

Jesus carrying the cross
Saint Joseph
The Sacred Heart statue
Mary and the fountain and rose garden
The Servite Monastery
St. Phillip Benizi The Grotto is actually "The National Sanctuary of Our Sorrowful Mother"
This is in a large cave at the bottom of a cliff, the top has a statue of Mary, overlooking Portland.
The tower of the sanctuary where they hold mass
oops this got clicked twice, sorry
This is the cliff with the cave.

A good view of Mt. Hood as we were crossing the river

The retirement center
My little field trip buddies
Well the kids were out of school on Friday and today, so that means field trips......so on Friday we went on a hunt for James Harder and Elsie Howard, two names that were in the stuff Dad sent me......they both had the same address...I thought it might be apartments......but it is a high rise retirement complex. Of course they weren't there....They've been gone awhile....but the little lady at the desk said she would in the records for them and call me with the info.......so thats good I guess. Then on the way home we stopped at the Grotto, the kids wanted to go in and see the gardens and the statues. It is a beautiful place, you wouldn't know was there unless you took time to go in and walk around.
