An Interesting Weekend

This weekend started out interesting and ended interesting. Thursday at work a resident eloped and that gave me a keen sense that I really needed to not be there for a minute longer than I had to.
Friday's beautiful weather gave Jess and I a chance to enjoy some time together though most of the time we spent indoors. Jess has been working hard at getting Miss Lulu's order done and is need of lots of support from me.
Jess slaved all day Saturday on the order then we went out for ice cream pictured below before heading back to the apt for a nice vaysut with tayham and patrayshau. It was great to see them. We went to a bunch of spots trying to hear the hippest band in Portland but alas the music lost out to a great Rosie's darts scene(tim 1 kevin 1 trisha 0). We were however disappointed when we came home to the west end for wings 20 minutes after Rosie's kitchen was closed.
Today we went to Steve and Leah's apt for crepe's then went to pick apples and such at this lovely place in east bumf---. It was a beautiful drive punctuated by Pam and Maggie's car coming undone at an intersection. Very scary. the whole front wheel just came off and got lodgded in the wheel well sideways. It sounded horrible but no one was hurt. Luckily they had just started up again so they were not moving very fast when it happened. Hopefully they will get a good deal from their mechanic. It looks like it might not be that much of a bother once they get the parts.
The orchard was packed despite the fact only two varieties of apples are ready. We scored some plums which we are going to put in rum with sugar to ferment. I also got to show off my pig calling skills. All those years of rude snorting pay off to win friends and impress two year olds.
Have a good week family and friends. Do not forget to make a birthday wish for Eliot on his verry first birthday which is on Wednesday.
