MYRNA AND ME…
Remember Myrna? Electric Company? In early days, Myrna was the Queen Instructress of the Possessive Noun. Here’s a refresher……
Capitalizing on Myrna’s possessive nature, I’m going to take you with me on my six-in-the-morning, 3.5 mile fast-walk along the Willamette River.
Mind you, in possessive Myrna style…
Raye’s Portland Sunrise
Raye’s Steel Bridge Over the Willamette River
Raye’s Walkway Underneath the Steel Bridge
Raye’s Morning Walk With Others
Raye’s Burnside Bridge
Raye’s Morrison Bridge
Raye’s Hawthorne Bridge
Raye’s Map
Raye’s Mis-Matched Trainers Because Raye Dressed in the Dark…
Myrna’s closet has a matching pair of these trainers…!

An educational walk that provides the reader with a smile and a gentle laugh of how we can so often put things on inside out or the mis-matched socks or shoes, when getting ready in the dark. Have a great weekend R. regards, J

I didn’t know it was a city of bridges. Thanks for the enlightenment. And the walk. 😉

There are 11 bridges within Portland’s official downtown area. The Hawthorne Bridge celebrated 100 years this past 2012 year. The city closed it down to vehicular traffic, laid down real grass turf on the bridge bed surface…for a community picnic!! It’s a great walk to crisscross from the east side to west side…
Thank you always for stopping by. Just so you know…my computer says your site is a phishing pond…and won’t let me read you. Can you look into that?

Love the shoes….and pictures along Raye’s walk. My daughter likes to purposefully where different socks (the only requirement is they are of the same style). Have a great weekend and some Raye’s (of) sunshine. BTG
