My ice cream cone had a chocolate cowboy hat!

We visited Ole Bolle Troll today. He’s pretty impressive!

On a walk in my neighborhood. Interestingly, very few duplicates.

I won’t be too harsh, but I really didn’t enjoy the coffee or the ambiance of Cafe Eleven. And I’ll just leave it at that.

Here are some pictures though!

Harder Day Coffee sits in a converted gas station on Sandy. It’s been remodeled well, and if you don’t mind the blaring, slightly too loud punk (I don’t mind) then you might enjoy it here. The coffee is mediocre but there’s plenty of space to spread out and work if you need to.

It’s time to make WNBA playoff series 5 games instead of 3.

Got in the car for a short trip. Went to plug my phone in for CarPlay. Realized I need a USB-A to USB-C adapter! Or a new car…. 😬🤪

The new PDX is gorgeous. Just astoundingly beautiful.

I like the new camera button on the iPhone but I wish it was a little higher up on the side of the phone. It feels like it was designed for landscape photography, but most of my pictures are portrait.

One thing I’m really enjoying about the new iPhone is how much softer and less harsh it feels in your hand. The edges are less sharp and it just feels better.

Futura Coffee was a nice find in an area of NE Portland I don’t get to often. The interior was pleasant with plenty of space to work. I didn’t love the coffee but it wasn’t terrible. That being said, Mudd Works is just down the street and I would probably pick that over Futura.

Hello from iOS 18…

I found this today and it just about brings me to tears each time I read it. She’s 22 now. ❤️
