Wednesday begins with perusing the NW district for a shopping day and then a last part to the process - our good-byes. We'll make Homemade Chai Tea in our own embellished Paper Skellypots.

A typical day includes a moderate exercise level with hiking or walking, taking in the beauty only October offers - the leaves in full color, the crisp air, nature and the city. Ocktoberfest and a bit of the romance of the past - like Portland's Pittock Mansion - add to the process bringing October's spice of life to our crafting.
