Farmer's Market
I took a long lunch on Thursday to go to the downtown Farmer's Market. I'm so excited because I bought three different varieties of basil to grow. Now that I have a yard I'm finding it hard to not plant a garden, but we thought waiting a year would be smart, but we did discuss planting garlic to grow over the fall and winter. We'll see. Here's my beautiful basil! Eat Local!! Waymond is sharing his work bench in the garage with me, so half has tools and half has gardening supplies. He's so nice.
Way's New Bike
Happy Birthday to Waymond last Sunday. He's been saving for a new bike and thanks to all our generous family members and a few friends he purchased a bike at REI on Thursday. He tested it out around the garage and then took a ride around the neighborhood. He's loving it and now we both have bikes! Just look how happy he is!

Carlos & Sara cont.
I forgot that while I was working Waymond took Carlos and Sara to Seattle for a little coffee and sightseeing and more coffee, and more coffee.
Top Pot Donuts, the best ever, all four say they saw Dave Matthews enjoying a donut while they were there, but no one talked to him.
Waymond got me a donut for the road, but by the time it got to me it was a little smashed! It was still good!
Here's Waymond's school, School of Visual Concepts. It's a old motel, and it looks like it, but they really cooled it up.
And, here are just a few fun shots. My poor husband never gets his name spelled right on his coffee cups!

Slacker Cont.
So after Carlos & Sara left the next weekend we went to a music festival at the Columbia River Gorge (or the gorge), Sasquatch Music Festival. So many good bands and beautiful scenery. The best band in my opinion was REM, I've been waiting to see them for YEARS! They did not disappoint! The Cure was great. Not going to lie, they are as old as a mug, but they were bring it! Biggest surprise, The Hives. I would have never went to see them in concert, but they were playing before one of the bands we wanted to see and they were great. So fun. The lead singer has more energy than anyone I've ever seen. They played in the middle of the afternoon and they got the crowd really into it. If ever you get a chance, check them out.
We did get a little rain, but it's not like we don't know how to prepare and deal with rain. It somehow becomes second nature when it rains 9 out of the 12 months here.
One highlight, if you didn't like the band that was playing, just enjoy the beauty that was around us. Or lay back on the blanket and nap!
How beautiful, right? Sun set on the main stage. I'm trying to remember who was playing...Modest Mouse, maybe Death Cab I can't remember. I'm not kidding, tons of great bands.
We did get to here Flight of the Conchords. If you haven't checked out their show on HBO, its worth it. Ridiculously funny and great live!
We will, I'm sure, try to go next year. Oh, one other highlight, NOT camping. We stayed at a hotel in Ellesburg about 25 minutes away. Completely worth it! I am so not a camper and it is completely doable to go all three days, bring your own food and stay at a hotel.
Great fun!

Slacker
I really haven't been a slacker, just updating the blog has been low on the list of things to accomplish the last few weeks (or month)
Here are some highlights you've missed:
Our friends Carlos & Sara from KC came to visit for a week.
First we took them to have cake at one of our favorite places in town, it was very yummy!
We all (minus Waymond) went to Vancouver BC for a little fun!
The 2nd picture, we stopped at Winchell's Donuts in Seattle before heading to Canada!
Here we are in Vancouver at the best coffee place the world has ever known! Not only do they have fabulous coffee, but they do beautiful coffee art.
Carlos & Sara in Stanley Park with Lion's Gate bridge in the background. Beautiful!
No trip with Carlos & Sara is complete without a little sushi! This place was so good. Jeny found it in some book. Notice I love Tulsa, even in Canada!
