May/June/July 2026: Pitch Perfect


MAY
A two-night Edgefield stay (one night was free in a King suite using points earned over 5+ years of various McMenamins stays). Edgefield is always relaxing during the week, walking around the large grounds which include an outdoor concert venue, an 18-hole golf course, multiple pubs/restaurants & of course the large, meandering 102° saltwater soaking tub.



(Night one = Queen room with common bath)



(Night two = King suite with private bath)



('Strands' got it right that day)



(Outdoor stage for concerts)



(Feeding an overly-fed squirrel at the Little Red Shed)






(Angela & Tony arriving for dinner + drinks)



(Reward points used!)



JUNE
Singing back-up vocals for Natalia was a hoot. Although it was only one afternoon, it was neat to be inside a real recording studio with an actual sound engineer to bring her songs to life. Have we come up with a band name yet?















(Trying not to accentuate the 't' in 'Over & Out')






JULY
Sweet & special visits from JFK, Jennifer & Lainie. 



(JFK at the community garden)



(JFK biking around NE Cully)



(The K Sisters, Kennedy School soaking tub)



(CR & JFK at Sandrian's place, NE Portland)



(Jennifer & JFK at Rich & Victoria's abode, N Portland)



(Lainie & SK, best buds since age 5)


(JFK at Milki Ethiopian food cart, NE Portland)
