August brought an interesting day for me (Leslie). It started out ungodly early, as Mary and I headed south at 5 a.m., heading for a long-awaited hot air balloon ride. The launch location was changed due to unfavorable winds but after we got to the new location, unpacked the balloon, unfurled the top and started to inflate it (and I helped!) it was called off for good. We had to deflate and help back up the balloon again.

So at this point we had to punt. At my suggestion we traveled farther south to the Oregon Gardens, a place neither one of us had been to before. We ended up spending several hours there, it was really quite impressive.

After lunch we headed to Oregon's only Frank Lloyd Wright House, which was down the road (but originally built in Wilsonville). It was so interesting, quite a modest size but full of fascinating details, both in architecture and furnishings.
