first day of may
We headed out early to have bfast at Geraldine’s Counter… perhaps our third week in a row? Bfast was good. Afterwards, Amanda and the Kai dropped by AC-MC’s place for an impromtu playdate while I went home for a work party at the P-Patch.
It was the first work party of the year. Mostly we did stuff like rebuilding decrepit beds and preparing other beds for new gardeners. I had fun. Amanda and the Kai came by before the little one’s lunch and nap; he helped by spreading leveling out the dirt in one of the newly rebuilt plots. A little anyway. He also gave Ian a few worms as presents.
Amanda napped with the Kai as she has an overnight shift. I diddled about until the Kai woke up, whereupon I fed him some fried rice and Tofurky before heading out to the Arboretum. Amanda stayed at home an continued sleeping.
They were having a bamboo festival thing there, but it is closing up when we got there. All the azaleas were blooming and looked quite nice. The Kai was not impressed, though, and wanted to go home and have an ice cream cone. Being the parent, I forced him to enjoy nature for a while before returning home.
Amanda made dinner (pasta with arugula and tomatoes and roasted red peppers) while I took the Kai to Safeway to get a bread. I also picked up some strawberries because they were cheap. Back home I entertained that Kai while Amanda continued cooking, or rather I watched up ride his little bicycle around.
After dinner there was a bit of music before the Kai had to go to bed. Amanda took the opportunity to get more sleep.
Unfortunately, she had at least three people in her queue, so she is now off working.
Note: I completely could not remember the name of the greens in the pasta tonight (until the end of the entry). I am totally getting senile.
Thursday
Amanda had the day off. I took the Kai to school then Amanda and I caught up on stuff. Amanda talked to JB&JR about various houses, and we met up to look at a few. One in Mount Baker seemed actually seemed nice… a tudor with four bedrooms 1.5 baths, not a nasty basement, hardwood floors, “character”. It minuses were it is out of our price range and the floors are not level and it does need some work. JB thought negotiation could prove fruitful, so we might put an offer on it.
We had splurged and bought lunch with a gift card from my mom in Columbia City at the Spice Room. Afterwards, we did more life admin stuff. I went to the P-Patch to put in our tomatoes while Amanda retrieved the Kai and when to Greenlake for a walk with CY and Baby Y.
Back home I whipped up a dinner of asparagus and mushrooms and tomatoes and angel hair pasta. The AC-MC Clan dropped by and we had a fun dinner. Of course, bedtime came early and the fun for the little ones was over by 7:30.
The night there was the usual cleaning. Amanda is already asleep, and I will be so shortly.
