Oregon, Days 3, 4 and 5

I slept under a quilt with no a/c on and the balcony door open so air would come in through the screen. This was absolutely wonderful to do after weeks of 108-114 and above temps here at home. Not just this night but every night I was there. It was so cool I actually did pick up the crochet I brought along and began to crochet a shawl (which was finished a couple of days later.

It was rather laid back for Saturday with a trip out to some amazing stores to get some groceries for dinner (amazing Curry cooked by dorkboy) and to check out the local LYS.

From there it was to Trader Joe's - So wish we had one here!

It was a night of more crochet, curry, and good friends - and Saturday Night Drabble Chat! Oh and good wine!

Sunday was somewhat laid back as well with more crochet and curry and guess the music!

Day 7 and the Breakfast Experience

OR: Things you don't want to hear from the kitchen as breakfast is being cooked!

(Please note, this was not being said by as she was in the living room with me!)

Oh God, stop smoking

Oh Crap

Why is there so much smoke? Cause it's butter. There shouldn't be any smoke!

Oh that's where the other wooden spoon went!

Oh shit, sorry! Yours is kind of fuzzy burnt.

Ohhh! It wasn't even on, that's why it wasn't heating up!

However, the result was delicious!
