Fortune Tattoo Portland

Was able to make it down to San Diego to say “goodbye til’ we meet again” to our friend and Mermaid Queen Patty Kelley.
Hadn’t been to the casbah probably since I last lived there over thirty years ago.
Had fun reminiscing the fun times we had when we were younger. Hearing folks get up on stage and share their memories and thoughts on how Patty had affected their lives.
She was the shining star. Always kept light on to the darkest days. Found the best in most all things. Thriving to keep a positive attitude and look on life. She made you feel seen. Couldn’t recall her ever saying a poor word on anyone. She was a force of life! And a force in passing. Fly free lady bird!

Thank you Fip, Peggy, Meagan, Pym, the Avalon crew and everyone else that put the energy into helping the rest of us join you in sending her off with love.











*thank you to those that bought machines from my collection so I could fly to say goodbye. I wouldn’t have been able to go if you hadn’t of helped jumping in on my fire sale.
Puppy love and celebration of life worthy!

RESCUED HEARTS (2025) is a powerful new documentary that attempts to uncover the miracles, mystery, and science of healing with horses. Inspired by a life-changing moment when a 7-year-old child diagnosed with autism spoke his first words while interacting with a horse, filmmakers Dana Croschere and Krisanna Sexton set out to explore the profound and often miraculous connection between horses and humans.

Presented by On Golden Rescue, coming to the theater Sunday February 22nd at 1:00 PM, tickets and info at cstpdx.com
