Today, my travels took me to North Portland's Mississippi Avenue to see Mary's band, Succotash, and eat pizza with some friends. The band was great, the food tasty, and the company fun. Mary is on the right in the picture. Her bandmates are Allison and Joe. More information about the band can be found at www.succotashband.com.
It was especially nice because today would have been Howard's 84th birthday. With a "tear in my eye" and love in my heart, I enjoyed hearing the band sing "Good Night Irene" in honor of Mary's dad and my beloved late husband, Howard. Lots of other good music, too, but that was special!
Mississippi Avenue is a fun neighborhood. I saw lots of other restaurants, some nice shops, and a huge recycling center where you can take stuff you don't want and buy stuff you do--mostly for home remodeling.
Looks like it was a special evening. It's nice that you have such a great relationship with Howard's girls.....
