The first field trip was to Boersma's. Arden, Colleen, and Bobbie went. Brad came this evening and did scissor sharpening and machine tune-ups, then stayed for dinner. Colleen had never had trout before. She liked it. Bobbie was hesitant, and had a bite of Dianne's trout, liked it, and had a whole piece of her own. "Crave" in Lake Oswego -- gluten free -- has won cook-offs. Bakery "Cupcake Wars". Be sure to try their Cinnamon Rolls! Judy was relieved of her "check your bobbins" duties. Bobbie took over, but she hasn't learned yet to speak loudly enough to get our attention. Barb finished her piano key project. |
