Visitors!

Chicago friends Carrie and Kristin were here for a few short days and stayed at the lovely Conklin B & B. Here are Carrie and I enjoying the sunflowers that had just blossomed for the first time!


Kristin was in town to lead a really great training I attended about organizing faith communities around immigration issues. Kristin, who works for Interfaith Worker Justice, had flown out from DC where she had been in an immigration-related meeting with the President and others at the White House--hot stuff. Unfortunately, she had to leave very very early on Sunday morning--early enough for me to get a significant nap in before church that morning! While we were off training Friday and Saturday, Carrie met up with other friends and got to explore the Portland area.

We've got a comfy bed in our guest room now and have really enjoyed offering a hospitable place for friends who are visiting or passing through.
