little paper cities

We were really excited to get a chance to meet the horses (and offi­cers) of Portland’s Mounted Patrol at their open house on Sat­ur­day. Ruby is a self-proclaimed “ani­mal lover” who dreams of liv­ing on a farm and who would give almost any­thing to have a horse of her own. The unit is in dan­ger of being cut due to bud­get issues, so this was a great event to get the word out. And, as a bonus, on the way home we stopped to see the goats on Mor­ri­son Street and ended up being invited inside for an up close and per­sonal expe­ri­ence (includ­ing a cou­ple of babies). This helped secure my place as the “Best Mom Ever.”
