After a five year hiatus, honestly due to laziness, I’ve decided to resurrect my blog, changing the name to Forever Young but Getting Old in Portland.

Two years ago, my husband, Charlie, and I sold everything, shipped a few boxes of necessities, and moved cross country from Florida to Portland, Oregon. We’ve never regretted a minute and have enjoyed mild winters and even milder summers.

This revamped, restored and reincarnated space will document our discoveries in a city we’ve grown to love…and beyond.

On our walks and hikes, we love when we’re asked where something is and how to get there. We were those inquisitive tourists once and, with 2 years under our belts, have enough experience to help.

Of course, we still need to use a GPS to navigate the back roads and highways, but we use mass transit when we can.

Years ago a friend, Ben Pollock, said, “Don’t waste the good stuff on FaceBook.”

I’ve been wasting too much lately so here goes.
