I have been busy about town (when I can get away from the office), trying new things and here are some of my new favorites.

1. If you love Mexican but with a slight upbeat flair, you will like Holy Taco in Lake Oswego. 
2. Want to try something other than seafood out at the beach? Try Nana’s Irish Pub in Newport. 
3. For something quick and healthy, I head over to Freshii in Lake Oswego. 
4. When needing to stock up on supplements or bone broth protein powder, I don’t go to Whole Foods by my house but travel to Beaverton to Natural Grocers. Their selection in this area is unbeatable. 
5. Pottery painting was last year; this year try woodworking at Lovejoy in Hillsboro.
