This cat's nickname is Pol Pot Belly. Like many housecats, he looks lazy but is a deadly hunter.

The crown jewel of the house is the master bathroom, which is bigger than the master bedroom. It includes this spa.

The previous owner left these chairs. Any idea how much they are worth?

Two walls of their living room, which a Guatemalan family of ten could live in.

This bill magneted to their fridge gives you a clear idea of their politics.

Liz in their dining room. Too much space for two people!

Bob making breakfast in their kitchen. The original owner designed it himself. It shows Japanese and F. L. Wright influences.

Liz and Bob's house is on a double lot and includes a huge Japanese garden including this bench.

Liz and Bob have so much room (the previous owners raised 5 boys in the house) that they have space for amenities like this meditation room.

I've known Liz since Peace Corps, over 20 years ago. Now she and Bob live in Gresham on the outskirts of Portland. This elm tree, on her property, is so old (150 years) that it rates a plaque.
