Another week has ended with a dinner last night at the Cordon Bleu Cooking School to celebrate Roger's successful Spring term. Three delicious courses with many choices for $16 each. Clearly, the school is losing money on their restaurant but the students get valuable training. Best of all, the streetcar dropped us off in front of the restaurant and it was only a two block walk to take the one back home.
This morning Ann and I enjoyed shopping at the Farmer's Market where we have some favorite farms. Today I bought sheep cheese from Ancient Heritage Dairy where they name their cheese after the sheep the cheese is made from (I bought "Adelle" and we're having it for a snack tonight with fresh harvested honey comb, mint from our balcony and a fresh baked baguette).
Roger's son, Brian, drove up from Springfield to pay a visit so Roger fixed a "simple" lunch and we had a nice visit.
Currently it's about 80 degrees so the windows are open and we are enjoying the comfortable weather. It's a good thing that it's warm, considering that tonight at 10 p.m. Portland is hosting the "Portland Naked Bike Ride" which has become very popular. Rules are that you must not drive a car to the ride - so you have to ride your bicycle to the starting site and be clothed until you get there - then you take off your clothes and you can get body paint and get ready for the ride. In 2010, there were over 10,000 participants so this is really a big deal. (Hmmmm, I wonder if there were any over the age of 70). I'm going to check the route just in case they come by our condo..............
Tomorrow is Father's Day - a very special day to celebrate the men who have committed their lives to their families. Truly a day for celebration and remembrance.
