Quiet weekend with lots of sun
Didn't make it on the hike we'd hoped to this weekend because of a variety of reasons.
However, we did make it to the Farmers' Market at PSU, where I bought salad mix, green garlic, the season's first asparagus, a half dozen eggs, artisian chevre (she had pictures of the goats who produced our cheese!) and the radishes which I am now more addicted to than I ever was potato chips. It's a toss-up if any of them will survive cleaning and trimming to put away, they all seem to find their way into my mouth.
While we were there, we saw Dave from Dave's Killer Bread. He looks exactly like his packaging, it's startling! I eat Dave's killer bread as toast every morning for breakfast. It was like seeing someone you've only seen on TV before, only working at the farmers' market.
Took a picture of a piece of art on the side of PSU (Portland State University):
Later, we walked up to Concordia to get a beer or two and discovered they don't do their tasting tray all the time. It is probably for the best as I am trying to limit my beer intake now that I'm trying hard to lose weight. *sob*
Sunday was completely and fabulously beautiful. I got up and went to an elderly neighbor's house to talk to her about her computer. She's trying to get online, and I know sometimes it's easier if you have someone you can ask questions. She's come up with a list of things she'd like to do with her computer, mostly check out books and email, but also keep a list of words she'd like to learn and recipes to try out. Very cool.
I walked up to Alberta St to see if I can find a summer dress. Katie met me at the Alberta Teahouse and we wandered in and out of the stores on Alberta. My favorite one is still the one where the owner is working on making dresses as you are looking in the store. A fun day altogther, and a nice walk (about 3 hours of walking all told).
