Sunday gems

I don't know what it is, but I seem to find the best gems on Sunday mornings.  I was up pretty early (for a Sunday, 7am is pretty early) and decided to take a walk.  I hadn't made it to George Rogers Park in Lake Oswego yet and started walking that direction.  It's a park that I've driven by at least once a week for two years, but never stopped at.  The softball fields are at the street level, but what's actually at the park is behind all that, and down towards the river.  For someone who gravitates to water, I couldn't believe I hadn't stopped here before.  There's a set up steps that leads you down to the beach and the water.  I spent a few minutes there, listening to the birds flying along the river, watching a few dogs and their owners playing catch in the water, and enjoying the sun coming through the clouds.

It was one of those mornings you appreciate what you have even more.

Walking home, I passed by the condos that are on the Willamette, just down from my apartment.   I had always thought my dream house was on Oswego Lake.  Now I'm thinking it's one of the condos.  Better start saving my pennies.
