We're at Maryhill Museum on the Gorge. It's a fascinating place housed in a mansion built by Sam Hill (really. Is that where we get "What in the Sam Hill?") who was a flamboyant businessman around the turn of the century. He knew the Queen of Romania, and a famous dancer, and they convinced him to turn this place into a museum , and then got a lot of donations from all over. Marie, the queen of Romania, brought truck fulls of stuff from her country, he has some Rudin's and it is altogether delightful.--a little like the Frye, excepet in a better setting, and not free.--some of the best Indian basketry I've seen. One of the residents invited himself to lunch and startled Missy enough that she decided to retire under the bed. We're nearer Portland right now in whath has been promised as beautiful country. If it stops hailing, we'll find out.
