Day 241: Portaits in Dundee
May 15, 2008 by leahjorgensen
After work, I went over to my friend Carolyn’s house in Dundee. On the way over, I stopped by the Dundee Bistro and bought a bottle of chilled grower’s Champagne, as the attached Ponzi Wine Bar was closed. I headed a few streets over to Carolyn’s, and we opened the bubbly and enjoyed the creamy texture and larger bubbles. It was rich and lush with a hint of pink from Pinot Noir skin.
I played with Carolyn’s kids until we drove up into the red hills of Dundee. Being there made me miss living there. I used to live in a great little cottage on 9th Street before I moved to Seattle. I loved that cottage, and miss it despite the fact that I am really happy in my new place.
Carolyn took me to a vineyard site to photograph me. After getting a bunch of shots in, we went down Fairview Road toward Red Hills Road where there was an old shack at a crossroad. Carolyn took more photos of me by the shack. And finally, we went back to her place for another round of photos in her back yard. I’m going to use some of these shots on my up-and-coming website relaunch. Here are some samples of Carolyn’s lovely work:
Leah,
How I love your blog. I don’t have the opportunity to stop by often, but when I do I never fail to be amused–in a good and interesting way… That’s it…, as much as it may concern most of my readership (this falsely protrayed band of patristic misogynistic types of mine on the run) I’m left with no choice but to add you to my blog role–with your permission…
After reviewing your posts it appears you have been having a time of it of late. Health issues. I’ll continue my prayers for you, (for that concrete experience of love and healing you are in need of). This time, however, I’m going to call in the heavy artillery (sorry, I’m regressing a bit) and seek the intercession of St. Augustine, (a wanderer himself) who said, ” Our hearts do not rest, Lord, until they rest in you…”
Leah, give this electronic guardian angel of yours a break and slow down on the alcohol a bit… It can’t help your condition, and from experience, I know it only magnifies depression… Am I wrong, or, did that sound a bit maternal to you? ah…motherly?
Scary.
I do commend you for working out regularly and am highly impressed, (as well as a bit envious), by your obvious creativity… I notice your praying still as well… That’s good, now, maybe you can help “me” out by praying for this friend of mine who lives up your way in Oregon City… You can get the story and his needs here:

Hmm. You might be interested in taking on a new challenge as well–creative (music and dance), healthful (truly aerobic), and even prayerful (at higher elevations). Yea, you might be the type–check out the video at the end of the post above and see what you think. But, please, don’t forget to pray for my friend, he’s good man… (note: my wife and I are pictured there as well–pre 5 kids days…
Well that’s it for here, let me know if I can pray for any of your needs and pray for me as well will you? (a deeper love and service to the Mother of God…
I’ll await your permission to add your blog. Peace.
