LOST: Two Cows

The DH and I took a break from unpacking today. We went to the Hillsboro Farmers Market and inadvertently the Hillsboro 4th of July parade. We pigged out on blueberries, raspberry and fresh made mini donuts.

Since I'll be away next week (thus missing the Oregon Lavender Festival) we went out to one of the local lavender farms to view the fields. They weren't quite in full bloom yet but views were lovely. We caught a bit of an alpaca auction which was going on next door. $2000 per animal! sheesh no wonder the yarn cost alot.

As we were driving out we saw a sign "LOST: two cows" it had us both cracking up.

Camp Game 2

In the second volume of the HP books by JK Rowling, The (#1)Chamber of Secrets, we continue to learn the incredible adventures of Hogwarts student (#2) Harry Potter and his friends (#3) Ron Weasley and (#4)Hermione Granger. Belonging to the house of (#5) Gryffindor, they attend Defense Against the (#6) Dark Arts taught by Wizarding celebrity (#7) Gilderoy Lockhart, a none-too-bright fellow who cannot even handle pixies!

In The (#8) Chamber of Secrets, we also meet Dobby a (#9)House Elf for the first time. Determined Dobby seeks to sabotage the return of (#10) Harry Potter to Hogwarts and is pretty persistent but is unsuccessful. After a few weeks at school, the deceased Ravenclaw student who haunts the girls lavatory, also known as (#11) Moaning Myrtle, shows (#12) Harry Potter and (#13) Ron Weasley an old empty diary that dropped through her ghostly form out of thin air!

Many nifty things continue to happen for the next several months… we won’t go into all the juicy details right now… however, the ending is prime reading indeed!! (#14) Harry Potter finally kills Tom Riddle’s (a.k.a #15 Voldemort) sneaky diary (which we now know is a #16) Horcrux and saves the sister of (#17) Ron Weasley, (#18) Ginny Weasley!!!

Oh! Of course, we must mention that the thickheaded (#19) Gilderoy Lockhart unintentionally erased his own memory, so he won’t be back for book three, The (#20) Prisoner of Azkaban…

The lie

And the Lie is... #3 I met my husband in college not highschool.

1) 1776 is a broadway musical and a movie (of the musical). It came out a few years before 1976. My all girl high school performed the musical becuase the producer's daugther was in my class. There are only 2 female parts in the play so the rest of us played men. To make it funnier, I was a high saprano at the time.

2) I really did learn to cross country ski at 5. My dad was a big fan of the sport and had us out and about as soon as my brother could walk. My brother went on to compete at a national level until he blew out his knees.

4) Who wouldn't love Tamora Perice and Terry Prachett, their books are awesome.

3 truths to 1 lie

1. I once played Roger Sherman in 1776.

2. I learned to Cross Country ski when I was five.

3. I married my high school sweetheart.

4. Tamora Perice and Terry Prachett are my favorite authors.

I have internet again!!

Wowsers, It has been uber busy the past few days. We had painters, installers and plumbers running all over the place finishing up the work on our new house. All we need to do now finish moving the rest of our stuff over.

On the plus side while I was waiting for all these people to finish I started on a recycled yarn sweater. The color ways are named the same but the colors are all over the place because the spinner added whatever colors where in front of her. Should make a funky looking summer sweater when I'm done.

Hey all.

I will be without internet (sob) from Mon 6/15 till Wed 6/17.

See ya all then.
