local online mag the bollard gave the book a mixed review. on which side the review leans depends on the reader I guess. While I do expect some negative press I did not expect it to be so snarky. besides disagreeing on the basic feel of the book (i feel this book is for the people of Portland...sort of doubt many tourists would be interested) a few truths are hit upon. But... I am really curious to how many kids the reviewer thinks I have. Seriously.... I must have the reputation of the biggest floozy in Portland. In truth, I asked the photographers to submit photo's from their portfolio's. I did the same for myself and I have a lot of kids in mine. not all my kids. maybe i am the mother of all Portland's children .. maybe I'll get a parade. there were many good comments but I am sad today so will only focus on the negative. Grandma's funeral is this weekend. will not make it down. So happy we went down in the spring.

thank you Jen. I really do know it is better for her this way. What a life... what a way to go. I hope I am that lucky.
maybe we SHOULD have a parade someday.. right down to the local bar. get a few moms together raise our glasses and toast to us.
