Lori’s Notebook

I-84 from Pendleton to Hood River, Oregon

April 7, 2015

The drive from Pendleton, Oregon to Hood River, Oregon on Interstate 84 takes you from open farm land to the scenic Columbia Gorge. It’s also the major trucking route through that part of the state. I was a passenger for this entire stretch of road and became transfixed on the images I could capture out of my side window. The following are a smattering of what I took.

What is Honey Mama’s?

March 16, 2015

One month ago, I did not know the answer to the question, and now I do, and I want to spread the word to everyone I know. Honey Mama’s Nectar Fudge is one of the most delicious treats I have tasted. A friend of my husband’s left a package of Honey Mama’s CocoNoNut Nectar Fudge in our fridge late one night with my name on it – so generous! I was not so generous when it came to sharing it with my husband (something he likes to remind me of every time I stock the fridge with new flavors I haven’t tried). I’m completely addicted.

  • Ellie’s Spirals

    Fun fact about the amazing Ellie Clarkson: not only was she an unrelenting Scrabble shark, but she also had a thing for spirals.

    This is the view that Gus loved seeing out of his living room in Vermont.
