Mom and I are back at Meg and Dick's
May 29, 2006 by Seraph in Cortez
Mom and I are back at Meg and Dick's. We had a nice time in Normalville, catching up with old family and friends, who all pass on their love to the Ory-gun clan. Grandpa's memorial was lovely, and the church folks took grand care of us. After we went down to the house and Betsy fed us all, and everyone swaped old sailing stories.
I spent the night down at the house (which still feels and smells the same as it always has) and woke up at the crack of dawn to singing birds and far off roosters. It was beautiful, and made me feel quite nostalgic.
I spoke to Isa and Robbie, who had a lot of fun at Emma's birthday party, and soaking up Oregon rain! I'll probably try to send them back down again next weekend, as I get overwhelmed by final projects. At least the quarters almost over!
Anyway, Mom and I head home tomorrow morning and it's back to the daily grind. Love to all!

I'm about to head off for class, and thought I'd make a quick post. Robbie, Isa, and Hanni headed off to Silverton this morning to go to the annual pet parade and farmers market. It actually looks like the rain will clear for them. This afternoon we have a birthday party for one of Isa's classmates. Then Robbie and I are taking the advantage of having a grandmother here and going to see The DeVinci Code. Ebert gave it a decent review, so I have high hopes.
Mom and Bob were up yesterday, and joined Hanni in going out to dinner with us. We found a little Italian resteraunt in the Mississippi district where Isa actually enjoyed food that wasn't fried or processed! It's a keeper.
I left the house early this morning to spend four hours at Starbucks working on homework and nursing a latte. This is the second weekend I've done this, and the coffee shop folks are quite nice about it. If only they had cushions on their chairs...
This will be a rather short week for me, as Mom and I leave early Friday for PA. I got a converter for the laptop, so I will be able to do school work on the plane and in the car. Hanni asked me this morning (it was from a news program survey), what would be harder to give up the computer or the coffee. I think I've decided that I could give up the computer if it were not required for school/work, as I could easily get back in the habit of writing letters (remember when we used to do that sort of thing?) I could only give up the coffee if I had two weeks off to go through a 12-step recovery program. When will they invent the caffine patch? That would be better the hard drugs. But then again, us students would look rather funny with patches covering our bodies!
Alright, enough endless babble. Love to all.

Happy Mother's Day to all the women out there...

Happy Mother's Day to all the women out there - technical mother's or not, who have led, shaped, or mentored others in their lives!
We are off to church in a few minutes. They have decided to celebrate Mother's Day by way of it's original meaning, ie a day of peace. Gotta love those Presbyterians.
This afternoon I'm modeling for a friends bridal photo shoot. It's been a long time since I've been a blushing bride!

Thought I'd let everyone know that I got the internship at Fred Meyer! It was apparently a rather nail bitting decision, as they had a strong list on candidates. The only difficult part may be that they are wanting me to start in the next few weeks. Not sure yet how I'll pull it off yet, but I will. Love to all.

May 04, 2006 by Seraph in Cortez
I picked up Mom at the airport this afternoon, and after a picnic lunch, we sent her on her way home. Right now Robbie, Isa, and the neighbor kids are playing tag outside while we wait for Hanni to arrive. She is watching Isa tomorrow, as the friend she usually stays with on Tuesday and Thursdays is out of town.
I'm working away at school, thank goodness there are only a few weeks left!
