Dear friends of mine moved here at that time. They bought a little house in north Portland and turned it into an enchanting oasis. It was on public land that was gobbled up by Las Vegas developers. Their house and garden were surrounded by buildings that dwarfed them. The good news is that they sold their house and managed to have included parking and gym rights in one of the new buildings. It\u2019s bittersweet to acknowledge that this will be the last time we\u2019ll hang out in Portland for three glorious summer weeks. I\u2019ll visit them in Albuquerque and we plan on having reunions in Portland. We stood in for artist Jerry G. Dickason at an open viewing. Here are some photos.<\/i><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2315\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2315\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2315\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nymysteries.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_0881.jpeg?resize=300%2C225\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nymysteries.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_0881.jpeg?resize=300%2C225 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nymysteries.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_0881.jpeg?resize=768%2C576 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nymysteries.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_0881.jpeg?resize=1024%2C768 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nymysteries.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_0881.jpeg?w=948 948w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nymysteries.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_0881.jpeg?w=1422 1422w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2315\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Can you bet what this is?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2317\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2317\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2317\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nymysteries.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_0898.jpeg?resize=300%2C225\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nymysteries.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_0898.jpeg?resize=300%2C225 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nymysteries.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_0898.jpeg?resize=768%2C576 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nymysteries.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_0898.jpeg?resize=1024%2C768 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nymysteries.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_0898.jpeg?w=948 948w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nymysteries.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_0898.jpeg?w=1422 1422w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2317\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The late nineteenth century railroad station<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2318\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2318\" style=\"width: 225px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2318\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nymysteries.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_0896.jpeg?resize=225%2C300\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nymysteries.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_0896.jpeg?resize=225%2C300 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nymysteries.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_0896.jpeg?resize=768%2C1024 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nymysteries.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_0896.jpeg?w=948 948w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nymysteries.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_0896.jpeg?w=1422 1422w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2318\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">My wonderful friends<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2319\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2319\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2319\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nymysteries.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_0904.jpeg?resize=300%2C225\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nymysteries.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_0904.jpeg?resize=300%2C225 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nymysteries.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_0904.jpeg?resize=768%2C576 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nymysteries.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_0904.jpeg?resize=1024%2C768 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nymysteries.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_0904.jpeg?w=948 948w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nymysteries.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_0904.jpeg?w=1422 1422w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2319\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jerry G.
