Happenings

So, here's what's been going down. A few weekends ago, Julianne came for a hilarious visit. Unfortunately most of Thursday was devoted to me working :( The next day we made some pretty deluxe t-shirts and headed with them to the zoo. We spoke with several animals, and my personal favorites were the Warty Pigs and the Meerkats. There was dinner, frozen yogurt, some creepers, some bubble tea, and a general good time was had by all.

The next night was the third Saturday of the month, which we all know is the gathering of the local Contra Dance Society. You'd better believe we rocked that. Even Steve who developed a little beckoning motion he did with his hands to alert wayward dancers where to go enjoyed himself. I must say, the Portland society had more to offer, but this was a good experience.

There was also a trip to a nearby hot springs. A friend and I drove to one we saw on the internet but once we got there, we immediately changed the name to "Million People Hot Springs." This prompted our decision to hike to another one nearby. 2.5 miles later, we ran into some hunters who told us we were definitely on the wrong trail. Eventually, we found the hot springs and had a rolicking good time.

This weekend I began an endeavor into the world of tech decking. To learn what a tech deck is and what you can do with it, go here. Anyway, as with most of my hobbies, I'll probably be excited about it for a while and then get bored. I started it to show up the kids at work :D Then there was Jana's lovely wedding and hanging out with the sis.

On Saturday a fellow rockstart was in town and I got to meet her lovely baby who will probably be a rockstar herself. An outing with friends rounded off the night.
