I am drinking a cup of coffee from our new French press. Lauren's boss gave it to us as a wedding gift. He also gave a salad spinner, ceramic pie dish, blender and slotted spoon. The beans are 'Berkshire Blend' from Barrington Coffee. They were a gift from Laura.
I was looking at a picture of myself from last summer recently. Lauren and I went into one of those photo booths that couples and friends are so fond of. It was at the Oregon Brewer's Festival. It was free.
I thought about how much I had aged in 7 months. I have more gray hair. I wear glasses. I look at pictures of myself from 4 years ago and it is night and day.
We got a new cat. He is black. He has yellow eyes. His name is Thomas. We are hoping that he is a companion for Alice. They have not meet yet. We are slowly introducing their scents to eachother. They may see eachother for the first time this evening.
I still have a job. We are still saving for a house. We have about as much job security as anyone nowadays. Which is not much.
We have great plans for our new blender. We still have frozen blackberries from the summer. We have made a pie and put them in various dishes all winter. For now we are going to do what we can with shakes. When summer market season hits we are going to have at it with the shakes. Blueberry, peaches, blackberries, strawberries, apples, nectarines, raspberries and more. All fresh. All local.
We have started watching Lost. We took the first season out from the library. I am hooked. After we finish this season will will give our selves a break. Then it is on to Season 2. I wish I had known about this show when it originally came out.
I am enjoying this cup of coffe.
Lauren is home.
