does anyone else feel weird when you try to go to the restroom but the door is locked and you have to walk back to where you came from?

deeann is finally back in portland after a three month contract back in iowa city with the university hospital. she got back less than a week ago while my parents were in town. i can tell you right now, we won’t be doing anything like that any time soon.
now that she’s back we’re slowly making plans for the summer, hoping to get out doing more hikes, backpacking and climbing. any ideas?
for now we’re just enjoying being together again.
i look good in a chefs toque.

today my parents left portland after a nice long visit. my mom came two weeks ago for a conference that was here and my dad joined her a few days later. during their visit we went for various hikes in and around portland, ate at a few of my favorite eateries, did a good handful of gardening, and attended my graduation from le cordon bleu, portland.
they have visited from iowa three times now and this visit easily had the best weather. spots of slight showers but lots of sun. a few clear days for beautiful views of mt. st. helens, rainer, and hood. we stopped in the rebuilding center a few times for some stuff for the back garden … a few things for hanging the hammock, boards for some small raised beds, and some odds and ends for make-shift fountains and bird baths.
it was a great visit.
