Holiday Event Guide 2014

Get out your calendars. Time to plan out your holiday.

Happy Day After Thanksgiving!  After baking  3 pies, a batch of rolls and my favorite green bean casserole I’m kicking back for the rest of the weekend.   Making lists, browsing the internet and trying to figure out my holiday plans.   So I made a list of some of the awesome events over the next month.  Grab a slice of pie, a cup of coffee and enjoy.  Happy Holidays!  Look for my special “Made in Portland” Gift Guide next week!
