You know you want coffee, but where? If great coffee and atmosphere are equally important, you have to visit Rose City Coffee Co. in SE Portland's Brooklyn neighborhood. Get a little "old Portland" vibe along with that morning ritual. Check out their tasty breakfast sandwiches made to order and get a laugh or two from items in the gift section. Classic Portland is alive and well at Rose City Coffee!

One of our morning visits this week took us to Estacada and a stop at Harmony. The restaurant and bakery started in 1984 and is still in the family as a woman-owned business. Fresh baked goods and a nutritious menu are paired with an inclusive environment also offering customers a chance to help the community through the purchase of Hot Meal Vouchers. Distributed by the Estacada Food Bank, recipients can bring in those vouchers for a delicious hot meal. Local art and products are also available at Harmony.

Fun visit this morning to Decadent Creations Bakery as the crew gets ready for "Chocopalooza" at Hillsboro's Collective Kitchen Friday, February 11th from 5 to 8pm.

HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS now "playing" at the Oregon Humane Society. The goal is to place every pet at the shelter on Dec. 1 into a home by Dec 31. These adorable animals are eager to have their own home and will love you forever for bringing them into your life. It's a positive life-changing experience. I was for me! Besides, who couldn't use a little stress relief around the house, especially during the holidays.

Had a lot of fun shooting and editing this one! Reminiscing about road trips with my parents in the 70's along the Oregon Coast. Got excited as a kid to see the Prehistoric Gardens and even got to stop there once....you know how dads are, LOL.
