What did Darr and I do? Not much. We were ultra lazy but it was fun. Darr worked a little in the morning while I went and got my eyebrows waxed (ouch!) and my sunglasses fixed. Then we had some lunch and spent the afternoon in Darr's office watching the second season of Grey's Anatomy. My new favorite show - Dr. McDreamy and Dr. McSteamy and all of the other McStuff in the show is excellent!
Our friends Sara and Josh had us over for a fabulous dinner of cedar plank grilled chicken (recipe in this month's issue of Portland Monthly), two salads (Caprese and one comprised of lettuce, carrots, corn, cucumbers, etc.), focaccia bread, a bruschetta-type appetizer with pears, cheese and some green herbs, and for dessert peach pie with vanilla ice cream. Did I forget to mention the alcohol? :) Yummy! I got to check out the Noodle's room, the Noodle is expected any time now, and the new addition to their house, which includes an actual wine cellar (we're jealous), a bike shop for Sara, an office for Josh and I believe one or two extra rooms. They are also installing a deck for their backyard and planning some landscaping to finish it all off.
We headed for home around 9:30pm and were disgruntled to find that the cops were already blocking off Spokane, so it would become a one-way street to help clear out the folks from Oaks Park after the fireworks, by the time we arrived in Sellwood. Thankfully, the young cop at the corner took pity on us, we were just trying to get home, and let us drive through so we didn't have to dump our car somewhere in the neighborhood and walk home. All in all, it was a pretty enjoyable day.
