Scones.

This morning my wife awoke and decided to make the best scones ever for her hubby. Today marks our first day off together in over a month where we plan on doing absolutely nothing. A little reading, a little bike riding and a little cleaning of the house maybe. Who knows? The weather today is a bright and a shiny 70 or so and the birds are chirping. Does Bend get a glimpse of spring today? I think so. This past week we had some friends from Scotland surprise us and show up at Backporch on Monday morning. So random. She was in town for work training and he was in town to drink coffee at Backporch. Lovely time had by all, centered around beer, pool at Silver Moon, harmonious friendship in action, and the launch of "The Office," which wasn't a knockout (overly awkward moments of Michael and Jan) but a good startup episode. Good week, but too quick for them to be gone already. Ned Beach is in his last 33% of chemo. He had an outstanding week of chemo and seems to be in good strength and spirit. That was a blessing for us all this week. Keep him in your prayers. Not much on the too close a horizon for the Beaches, although we are anxiously awaiting our two week adventure down to Costa Rica. So excited and boy do I need to work on my Spanish. I have been minorly obsessed with scooters once again. Majell isn't excited again also.... My beautiful elite is entering it's second season without starting. This is all because of an ill educated mechanic named Tom. He sucks at replacing tires and somehow my bike's starting is now messed up because he changed my tires???? What the heck? Don't worry, I have no hatred in my heart... maybe just a little. I did have Crazy Mike (orange stella guy) come into the shop last week and he has offered to help me get it running so that was great news. What else can I ramble on about? Probably nothing. No new beer making lately, although I am planning to do so in the near future- probably a lite beer similar to the Cascade Ale, minus the lemony flavor. I am shying away from the overly hoppy flavor beer right now for some reason. Majell and I are questioning what spring is doing to our cats. We think they are overly aroused for some reason. Kinda freakin us out right now. Somewhat possessed maybe, who knows? I am impressed if someone has read this far, so precious stones in your crown to whoever you are. Peace-dave
