It was hot today. Again. And there was SMOKE!!!!

This is NOT Mt St Helen's

Shocking.

Its okay I am getting used to 2nd degree burns on my head from running from the house to the car.


Ok the weirdest thing today was this smoke that was in the air coming from a far off mountain, Mt St helen's which is visible to us in Portland but it is pretty far away. I would have sworn it was erupting today!!! However, I guess this is going on, it is a wild fire near there...

here is an article I just found on it.





This week Spencer does not have any camp but still has Kempo. We have a lot of packing to do and I have to make 300 phone calls to arrange for dumpsters and storage units and rental furniture pick up OH MY. BUT Because he has no camp this week and Bill still has instruments to finish before he has to stop working ebcause of yet another move, I have to keep Spencer out of his hair. it will be 85 tomorrow, the goat farm has no AC.... Have I mentioned that before????


Maybe I can just drag him with me places...

We went to McDonalds for breakfast - we had not been there in a while and also because it was 9 AM and already 85 on the goat farm, and Spencer played on the playland thing and spilled his milk. He spills his drink EVERY TIME in McDonald's, but the staff there is great. They see him walk in the door and I hear them yell, "Get the mop ready, Spencer is here!"

We made several trips to The Storage unit etc. and then we shopped a bit and then we came home and I made Homemade Salsa Fresca. It was pretty good, actually and we grilled some flank steak that we had been marinating for like three days. Siri gave me the recipe and we thought we would have one last decent cooked dinner before we have to pack up the kitchen and move to the van down by the river.

Well I have to go watch "The Next Food Network Star." I have to enjoy my Tivo while we still have a place to plug it in. Residence Inn (I am HOPING we get to go there for a month) has great stuff a pool, free breakfast, normal water, housekeepers, cable - all good things but NO TIVO. I am gonna miss a LOT of Project Runway but I have heard you can watch a lot of that stuff online anyway.
