On Saturday we trotted off to the portrait studio to get our picture taken, because I'd a coupon for a free sitting and free 8x10. This one had the advantage of applying to any number of persons, so we made it a family portrait, which meant, of course, that I wanted Michael to shave. Which threw his schedule off for the whole rest of the week, because instead of Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday, he skipped Sunday, shaved Monday, and shaved this morning. All of this to say that when I smell aftershave during our good-bye kiss in the morning, I know it's a Tuesday or Thursday, so I'm off this entire week also. And this explanation really only makes sense if you base your life on trivialities and habits, like Miss Bates in Emma. 'Remember, Mother? Not Jane's Day. Oh, sorry - napkin.'
Hard to believe we'll be flying to Oregon in just two days!

Hey Rose,
I do believe your family is coming over to the Brownells next Friday night. Will you be among the merry party and will we finally meet?!?!
Jonathan and I wanna know! =)
Alas, no! Our visit this time will be a short one. I do so wish we could have joined the throng. I keep trying to describe the Brownell family to Michael as a case in point whenever the subject of entreprenuership, chess, or ping-pong comes up. 'And the five-year-old wins chess tournaments! And not only are they the best at everything in the state, they even took on another state to expand their territory! Now they're the best in both Oregon and Arizona!' Have a fun evening anyway and enjoy the visit with the rest of my family! =)
Drat! We were crossing our fingers and hoping so! Oh well. We'll just keep up with you on the blog and whenever we make it your way -- we'd like to visit!
In the meantime, our door is always open so if you make it back to Oregon at some point -- stop in!
