I am waiting for Mahesh, my son, we are going to go to Mt St. Helens today for the entire day. He was only five years old when the volcano erupted back in May 1980. I took them to Toutle River to see the devastation caused by the eruptions. He has been fascinated by volcanos since then! He has wanted to go back and see Mt. St Helens since then; I am glad we will be able to spend the entire day together. I have already prepared sandwiches and Coke is cooling in the cooler. I always made tomato and cheese sandwiches on our road trips, by the time it was time to eat them they were soggy-- both my children have grown to love their mother's soggy tomato and cheese!
I will write more about our adventure together at the end of the day.
The past couple of weeks have been eventful, I went to the Beaverton farmer's market last Saturday with a friend. I was amazed at the size of this farmer's market, it stretched for blocks and the fruit was all too tempting. I had to keep reminding myself that there is only one of me and there is only so much fruit a human being can consume-- nevertheless, I still bought more than needed; though I didn't waste any.
I have also found a charming tearoom in Beaverton, the proprietress is French, so the tea service and food has a very continental flair. The name of this eclectic antique store/tearoom is Tea Thyme and Lavender if you happen to be in this neck of the woods.
While my son and his wife were gone to the coast last weekend for their anniversary, I prepared an entire meal as an anniversary present for their return. It was enjoyable to cook and get to taste some of my own cooking. I don't usually make the time anymore to prepare elaborate meals.
I have also been following up with prolotherapy on a weekly basis and I am happy to report that my knees continue to improve. I am so glad my son found Dr. David, he practices in St. John here in Oregon.
I will write more at the end of my day. Until then.
