I bought running gear: shoes, capris, shirt, at the Portland Running Company store in West Linn. I am very impressed with the quality of the clothes and shoes. Yesterday on my way to the track, I thought to myself, "I am an athlete!" It was a surprising thought for me -- I always thought of myself as more of a bookworm, but you know, it's true. I run, walk, hike, canoe, ride my bike, mow the lawn, work in the yard--I love being outdoors and using my body. I wrote more about this topic in today's post on The Skinny blog.
Mark bought a flight simulator computer program. He hasn't been able to use it yet because he's been too busy with end-of-term grading to get it loaded. Also, the computer store was out of the joy stick he wanted, so he'll have to check back next week after our trip. He's been talking about getting a flight simulator for a long time, and a couple of weeks ago he tried one out that a friend has. I don't think I could sit still and do that, but he really enjoyed playing with it at his friend's house.
We joke about me going hiking and him flying overhead in a gyrocoptor to drop off food to me. :)
Last night Mark camped at a local tree farm with the boy scout troop. It was a little damp, but he had a good tent and a wonderful warm sleeping bag and sleeping pad, so I'm sure he was fine.
I'll post pictures of Lilly and the other grandchildren soon!
