He says, we got $40 with that lady's contribution to the kids....WOW! They they took off over to their friends house and hubby and I checked out an "new" store that I heard had the same owners of an store closer downtown Portland an long time ago...it's an new age "organic" food store and bakery and pharmacy, and meats, and gift sort of thing, I just love the store myself. It's true the fresh peaches cost 3 x's more then the local stores around here, but there are things you can get there that aren't as expenisve and some things they don't sell out here, like frozen Butter-nut Squash Ravoili. I came home and made some Butter-nut squash ravoili with an wee bit of rumpled up cooked sausage and deep fried spinach mixed with sage and butter...topped it with parmesan cheese. Bean/cheese Burrito for the side dish. Walked 3 miles this last weekend, I go at it one mile at an time. Put an hammock out on the patio porch we made bigger. That was about it, nothing to exciting. |

Gonna be out from 8 AM to about 5 PM or so. Which is good, I'm gonna get lots of hours for school, and get off the computer. :) On average I use the computer, 105 hours a week. :o
Night night everyone :) Post more about my volunteer work tomorrow. :) |

Thanks Steph :D So basically my volunteer position will be setting up for this kids festival, and I'm assuming helping with a few games, and giving directions. :) |
