After a long sit in the dentist's chair on Tuesday and a rainy "out of sync" Wednesday, Thursday was a welcome outing into Portland with the Red Hat ladies. We had lunch at Albertina's Place. This was a new adventure for me. Albertina's has a long history.
Spinach, Parmesan quiche in tender, flaky crust.....YUM....
Visit to their thrift store
(after viewing their high end
china store)
I found two fun necklaces....
I very well remember the many, many Kerr canning jars I used over the years of my kids growing up....lots of canning.....peaches were my favorite.
Albertina's is also significant for me since it is sometimes referred to as an orphanage. I spent a short time in an orphanage in Indiana when I was 5 or 6. There was a picture on the wall of a small, raised bathtub and a child sitting in it. One of my few memories was of me sitting in a tub like that while my older sister bathed me. I had always thought it was a clothes washing tub. It was probably one like in the picture. I did not get a picture of the picture. I will need to return and get that picture of the picture....
This has been a good 2 Albertina Kerr Outing days in the life of Grandma G.
"Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world." (James 1:27)
