Right now my emphasis has to be on new work documents, yes, WE’RE STAYING!!! And guests. It’s Wednesday and I don’t have menus yet. Ideas, but not menus.
I told you I’ve been dreaming of these chanterelle mushrooms, well I found them and am making chicken breasts, zucchini and risotto with fresh chanterelles. Of course I don’t have recipes for you because I make it up on the fly. Perhaps if I run upstairs for the camera I can get you a shot of the beautiful fungi.
Guitar lessons are back on my radar, after being sick for two weeks. I start next Tuesday with a new teacher. He’s a drummer, a really cool guy who opened my mind to things I haven’t seen before. I haven’t practiced in a while so must start on his pentatonic scale now that he’s my new teacher. I’m also going to take a 90-minute knitting class next door to the Conservatory. After the in-laws have come and gone. I’ve enough to do to prepare for their visit.
Note to PDX Knitterati – I’m considering a knitting class! There’s a pattern for a silk shawl that I love! That’s because we’re staying! Jim was “official” yesterday. Now only 99% of what we own resides in TX. C’est la vie. Dee

Congratulations! Glad you can stay in such a beautiful place. And I want to see the shawl pattern!
Just saw it and Nicole says it’ll take a while before I can work on small needles with silk. I gave her your blog site, her husband has already looked you up and she has some bamboo and other quality needles. She offered me a 90 minute class which I plan to take after the in-laws depart, next month. I’ll try to find the pattern for you, dear. Dee
