We survied the weekend, and it was back to work this morning. Unfortunatly (fortunatly?) it was so hot in the attic that my paint kept drying out on me and I had to call it an early day. The nice weather is supposed to stay nice all week so I may actually enjoy a little outside gardening time - yippy!

Sounds good mom, but just make sure you spell Molly's name correctly. Also, if you have her address or anyone else that I was in highschool with I'd love to get them! We're trying to put together a reunion this summer, and if anyone runs into someone I went to school with send them on to yahoo reunions, or pass on my e-mail! Thanks!!

This weekend is working out to be quite busy
April 22, 2004 by Seraph in Cortez
This weekend is working out to be quite busy. We are making an impromptu trip to Portland on Saturday to look at more places and to visit the school and have lunch with Raven and Cheikh. The school finally sent me an official acceptance letter. We have to hurry back to have dinner with our friends Mike and Tara.
On Sunday we may be going up to Salem with Jenny, the boys and anyone else she wrangles up. There is a 4H farm event that sounds cool.
Through all of this we are taking advantage of the nice weather and having our house painted. We picked up the paint this morning, but other then adding a trim color, it's staying the same boring tan for now.

Continued stories from the Library Book Sale
April 19, 2004 by Seraph in Cortez
Continued stories from the Library Book Sale...
Robbie's big find of the sale was Edward Gibbon's "The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire." Volumes 1 - 6. He already had volumes 1 and 3.
When he got to the sale he found a few of the vol.'s. Another man came up and grabbed two of them from under his nose. Robbie was disapointed, but looked instead to another old book. The man then decided he wanted the book Robbie now had (yes, these are grown men!) and said he would trade the two volumes for the book Robbie had. Robbie agreed (the man realized a minute later that his new item was fairly worthless).
Robbie found out that a lot of the early birds at the sale are people who buy up books cheap and then re-sell them on eBay.
Robbie still did not have all of the volumes, and kept asking around it anyone had seen them. Later in the morning he had all but one, when a young woman came running across the arena calling for him. But, before you get excited about my husband's faithfullness, remember this is a love story about books. She had found the final volume for him!
He did come back with some other good finds, but he has proudly be retelling this story for us, and the new volumes are now stuffed into our ever buldging case of old books.

Robbie was up before the crack of dawn yesterday for the Library Book Sale. He had intended to get up at 5:30 a.m. so he could be at the sale at 6:00 a.m., but found that he was unable to sleep by 3:30 and got up and showered. He said he was about 20th in line, as some people had camped out overnight. He said some people were literally running through the doors and down the aisles! He had mapped out the tables and had his list of books prepared the night before!
Isa and I one the other hand slept in and had a fun morning at the Saturday Market and Farmer's market. She mostly enjoyed the juggeler who juggled fire and knives!

The week is moving along, and I'm actually glad to see some rain. We went up to Portland yesterday. I had some school things to take care of and we looked at some rentals. Isa got to put in her two cents this time.
We had a nice Easter in Ka-ne-ta on Sunday - driving over for the day.
I'm helping Mom with the playroom this week. Today I get to go and strip the wallpaper. Then it will be sanding down the floors and painting! We're hoping that when it's all done it will feel like the perfect cozy playroom/guest room!
Isa's school is winding down. They are getting ready for their Cinco De Mayo celebration. Because the local festival moved to September, Isa's teacher is putting on her own festival. I'll let everone know when it will be!

April 05, 2004 by Seraph in Cortez
We spent the weekend in Portland helping Raven and Cheikh move apartments. We also took some time looking at apartments ourselves. We are a bit torn between the nicer places in Beaverton or the neighborhoods we liked in South East.
The appraisal for our refinance happened on Friday morning and now we're waiting to find out what they want us to fix before completing the papers.
I'm hoping to get over to Mom's soon to get the play room fixed up. We've come up with some good ideas, but first I get to remove all of the old wall paper.

We woke up to a very cold house this morning, and the heating guy is out here fixing our furnace right now. We knew he was ok when he mentioned that he was currently playing Diablo 2.
Robbie and I started to make progress on the upstairs and family room. Right now they are mostly piled high with boxes. I'm mostly trying to get through all of the projects that I've put off for the last 4 years.
