Dinner with the President

Stan is eucharistic minister at church this morning so we had to be at church a half hour early so I'm blogging in the bathroom at church, lol! Anyway, yesterday I had coffee at Starbucks with Therese. It was great to see her for the first time in a LONG time, and super exciting that Starbucks had COCONUT LATTES back after a 4 year absence! I actually did a happy dance. Therese ordered one, too, and the barista says, "But you're not QUITE as excited about it though?" And Therese says "Actually I am, but I'm a bit more shy".

Then it was off to dragon boat practice where I didn't crash or fall in and we ran two practice races. We were the last boat out and had to haul in the practice flag buoy which was a bit of an adventure. Never did that before.

Then in the afternoon we headed up to Mt. Hood to the Mazama Lodge for a dinner and show. They had an actor who plays Teddy Roosevelt doing a dinner speech. He was very good and it was a very enjoyable evening. Max was all dressed up and playing maitre'd at the door. The food was fabulous of course. There's still snow up there, btw...

  1. I would love to see max as a Maitre'd. he would be adorable! And your blog heading is REALLY MISLEADING MUM! though i figured you didn't have dinner with obama or whatnot, but hey. :) lol. And isn't it some kinda blasphemy to blog in a church bathroom????AND DON'T EVEN MENTION STARBUCKS!!! I want soooooo bad. And coconut lattes sound SO good right now as I have a bit of a headache and that sucks. lol, but i suppose in the grand scheme of things, Africa>starbucks.
