Good times

A few weeks back, we had a visit from Tyler, a good friend of Eric's from college, and Tyler's partner, Athena, who were up from San Francisco. It was so great to catch up with them, and they got along wonderfully with Augustine.

We spent most of our time lounging at home, but we also enjoyed the perfect summer weather on a long walk around Forest Grove. When Tyler and Athena spotted a swing hanging from a hiiiigh branch in a yard as we passed by, they decided they just had to try it out, and the owner, who was in his garage, said to go for it. I hung out in the grass with the man's 9-yr-old daughter and watched them sail back and forth.

The edge of town.

Before we sent our friends on their way, we stopped at Maggie's Buns, where we discovered we had worked up some crazy big appetites on our walk. We planned on getting a few cinnamon rolls, Maggie's mouth-watering specialty, but ended up with a table full of incredible food--a beautiful quiche, gooey mac and cheese, thai salad, plus the cinnamon rolls, with extra icing of course--and ate til our bellies were full and happy.
