Happy birthday, America! And to celebrate we threw all of our food cautions to the wind.

If all goes as planned, on Friday Southwest Airlines will deliver me to Denver for six days with the Andersons. Most of that time Quinn and Dusty will be on a business trip to an island in the Pacific while I hang out with their five kids. Did I mention the Andersons have five kids? [...]

We had a fun, full, people afternoon. And my shutter finger was busy recording it. Lunch at McMenamins in McMinnville. We ate at the bar. The food wasn’t to die for, but the company was pleasant. On to a graduation open house. Mauri has known Jordan since before he was born (is that possible?) And [...]
cupping
Sherry | June 8, 2010
Nearly every Friday morning Mauri heads over to Caravan Coffee for the weekly cupping. Mmhmm. That was a new term to me too. Wikipedia describes it thusly: “Coffee cupping, or coffee tasting, is the practice of observing the tastes and aromas of brewed coffee It is a professional practice but can be done informally by anyone or [...]
pizza

Didn’t I just say I was done talking about what I eat? Yea, well, Aj posted a comment that assured me my community is interested in what I eat. Go figure. I guess that’s all the permission I needed to jump right back in to food topic. During my six-month hiatus from normal food, I [...]

It’s the first Friday of the month, which means downtown Newberg comes to life for First Friday Art Walk. Even though downtown is walking distance from our home, we rarely go. But tonight we had a good reason to head that way. Pitter Patter Children’s Consignment Shop featured photography by our own John and Erin [...]
atlas
Sherry | May 5, 2010
All this time I thought an atlas was what you pulled off the shelf to see where some unknown country is. But today, in my ongoing quest for relief from sciatica-related issues, I visited a chiropractor (third appointment, since x-rays are required) and learned about atlas adjustments. If I were a little smarter, I would [...]

Today we “celebrated” the fourth anniversary of our bike crash by going to acupuncture together. I mentioned earlier that I’ve been going to the senior center weekly for treatments, still working toward recovery, but today we both went. Before I show you pictures, I want you to know that acupuncture does not hurt. We sometimes [...]
goats
Sherry | April 21, 2010
We just never know what fun awaits us at work. Today’s excitement/entertainment: When was the last time you held a baby goat?

Our boss Elizabeth takes great delight in expressing her appreciation to Denise and me for the work we do. In fact, she does it so regularly, I didn’t connect today’s scavenger hunt to administrative professionals day, which is—today. Who knew? Elizabeth “covered the phones” while Denise and I hunted. Denise read the first clue while [...]
