I love them all! But Powells is the best. My son lives in Portland so we visit often. Good luck with your tour.

We would love that! And I saw you might be interested in a book club visit? Maybe we can combine those this fall?

I’m sorry that got away from me, Jane. You can see how busy the schedule is and Michael and I are away most of June. In fact, summer picks up again with events. But let’s see if we can land on something? Thanks for trying!

I have been lucky enough to visit Powell several times - always a wonderful treat. Wishing you and Michael a belated Happy Anniversary! I planted tulips in the fall of 2022 and was so delighted to see that they all bloomed for their second year.
