My brother introduced Into the Woods to me seventeen years ago, but I only made it through act one of this wonderful play. I was not interested in theater in 2008, so sitting through the first half of the 1991 version on YouTube was enough for me. I was amused by the first half but I didn’t realize the second half was the payoff.
Our anniversary isn’t until next month, but our schedule will be busy on the actual date. With the kids old enough to take care of themselves, we took off for a few days during spring break to explore one of the wonders of our state: Mount Hood.
Christopher Marley’s Exquisite Creatures Revealed exhibit at OMSI was a miraculous display of the art in nature: colors, textures, and patterns of life on our planet. The new additions since our first experience with Marley were incredible.
I got to spend my birthday eating delicious hot pot with my family, introducing my brother to Marvel United, and dug deep into childhood memories for my brother’s trivia challenge.
It is exciting to look back at the progress we’ve made on our Marvel United miniatures since the third season arrived. Our collection includes over 130 characters and we’ve painted 42 (30%) to date and painted 18 since last fall.
The year went by in a blink. I’m grateful for the photos and videos we captured to remember all that happens while we’re busy with life.

My favorite Disney movie in their renaissance era was Beauty and the Beast. It’s because I’m too pragmatic for love at first sight and an effortless happy ever after. I’m grateful that Belle and the Beast grew to love each other through their story.
I’m delighted that the musical version of this story exceeded my expectations and am proud of the production that Lovegood showcased. The songs have been on loop in my household throughout the three-week run and we’ve quoted our favorite lines repeatedly.
