Quick trip to Portland

 We did a quick trip out to Portland to attend my Grandma's funeral.  Grammie passed away on July 30, and we held a memorial service for her a few weeks later.  Grammie had been sick and in pain for a long time, so we are thankful that she is in heaven and pain-free- but we miss her deeply and on a daily basis.
 On the morning of the memorial we headed out to Eagle Fern Park, which was one of GG's favorite places. We had divided her ashes beforehand, and everyone got a sackful to take and spread where they wished. This was a nice way for each person to have a private moment with Grammie, say good bye, and spread her ashes in a spot that held personal  meaning.  I spread my Grammie ashes at the playground.  Growing up we spent a lot of time with Grammie, and I always remember her walking us up to the playground. I know she will enjoy watching kids play from above.
While we were in Portland we got to visit my cousin Alison and her children. Claire and Sophie quickly became fast friends and played very well together.  They seemed to go everywhere holding hands.  It was too cute.
