This wonderful weekend Ron, Amy, May and Rick drove down Friday night for a nice visit. On their arrival we had pizza of course. Saturday morning we walked to Starbucks and then had a delicious breakfast at home before heading to Costco. After Costco we went to a new wine bar in Ashland. We did wine flights and yummy appetizers. The girls then went shopping and the men tried to find the University of Oregon Ducks' football game at some sports bar somewhere. They had no luck. The girls had better success shopping.
The rest of the evening was spent with more wine and an incredible liver dish with vegetables dish provided by May and the regular old Albano meatballs. We were all pretty tired when we tried to watch a DVD called ART SCHOOL CONFIDENTIAL.See Rick, May, and Amy diving into the candy bag (photo included). I am not sure how many of us stayed awake for that movie. It wasn't me.
Today after Mass Lisa called and we all got to talk to her. That was quite the highlight for everyone I am sure. The men and May stayed at the house watching football and Amy and I walked through Lithia Park. It was crowded with people with cameras. The beauty was indescribable. But I will do what I can with pictures. Amy and I then went to the movies to see a French film, HEADING SOUTH. Back home we had our Sunday spaghetti dinner. Then they piled into Ronnie's car and went back to Portland. All in all it was a great weekend. I am so grateful the kids made the effort to come to see us.
