Wow, dublin, thanks for the great photos. I have cousins who live in Portland and cousins who live in Dundee and own the Erath winery. I’ve been out there several times – it’s gorgeous! PamM, these photos make me want to go back out there for a visit too… Joking aside, it does rain a lot though!
Almost forgot – Eliot is adorable!!!
Those are GREAT, Bumpkin!! Thank you so much for sharing!!! 
My niece and her husband live in Portland and got married a few years ago. We went out for it and had a lovely time, rain and all! They were supposed to get married in the Rose Garden, but…You guessed it - it RAINED and they couldn’t! We also took a side trip to Cannon Beach and saw Haystack!!! Too Cool to see it all again.
Poncho, Marbles and of course, the infamous Elliott are GRAND, Bumpkin!!!
Great pics dublin, thanks for sharing.
Oooh, I love Portland. I remember going as a wee tot, and there was this huge festival/concert thing in the park and I got a friendship bracelet from some people selling them on the street. And they had mounted police! Do they still?
Just a wee bit too nicely!!
His Corn Oil consumption has been cut in half, and his rations were slightly altered.
My dear trainer was trying to be ever so polite last week informing me that although a nice round hunter is desirable, perhaps Elliot could loose a few pounds… 
But WAIT!!! 
Perhaps I should keep him like a fat little cow pony so my bum will look small in comparison???!!!

I am sure you will have a total blast in Vegas for your b-day…you will absolutely have to have a few drinks in the CA/West Coast clique’s honor while you’re there!! 
Elliott kicks up his heels…
Thanks so much for the specialized shot, just for moi! 
So nice to know you were thinking of me and the Hambone.
Can I have Poncho? I’m already missing my own pinto wonder horse. 
Ohhh, now I am truly homesick. Thank you for the respite. It is already over 100 degrees here and I am having to ride at 6:00am.
So it appears you did the “nostalgia” tour. The Rose Garden and everything. And who can pass Multnomah Falls!!
I am very jealous that you and Bumpkin connected. If I ever make it up north again I only hope I can get as far as the Seattle area. Although my best friend, Joan of the Coast is moving from Oregon So coast to Seattle. The chances are improving.
Bumpkin, your horsies are wonderful. And hasn’t Elliot grown up?
Thanks again Dublin.

Thanks CAP, now I remember why I live in the desert.

It was probably all those carrots Mr. dublin and I fed him while we were visiting!!
Thanks again for all your hospitality - you were just the best hostess and tour guide while we were there, and it was truly a wonderful, fun day.
Now I just have to figure out how to get up there for a horse show with just us girls!! LOL
Wty jumping up & down yelling, I’m there, I’m there…Cow Palace, how absolutely PERFECT!!! Yee haaa…buckin ball and coreene’s birthday. Jair and Bumpkin flying down. So, can we get Merry, Beezer, Suave, A/A, Justa, heidi et al to come too? Jair bring Alice, you would love the A/O jumpers there. Ring’s tight, but you would have a ball.
