By happy coincidence, Madame Reverend E, who we just visited in Seattle two days ago, had business in Portland today so now she is visiting us. And we enjoyed a FEAST at Bamboo Sushi, including an Interesting Cocktail.
Before the festivities, we’ve just been working along–book covers (Mark), Our Lady final edits and freelance work (me), wedding business (both of us).
Oh and gardening of course. Always gardening. Our first dahlias are blooming! I’ll try and get a picture tomorrow. Today it actually rained a little, and a few transformers blew in the neighborhood–we could hear them, and the lights flickered off and on several times, though there wasn’t lightning or anything.
And speaking of the lights, pretty much most of my old-style light bulbs have gone by now. Fortunately, most of them didn’t actually blow up and shatter glass everywhere…but some did. The new compact fluorescents, thus far, haven’t. ::fingers crossed:: I wish I knew what was going on with the electricity in this house….
