Day Two
Oh hello there, 3 hour time difference.
Mom’s flowers around 6am.
We went to Fred Meyers supermarket and got a six pack of beer and two bottles of wine. At 9am. On a Sunday. Suck it, Allegheny county, Pennsylvania.
Portland does ketchup right.
Mom relieves stress by coloring. She has like three of these giant posters.
Once upon a time, Josh got the Tris application on his iPhone, which I quickly stole and took the highest score. His goal for months has been to slowly nudge my score off of the High Scoreboard. He accomplished just that this night, then haughtily challenged me to try again to get a High Score.
Isn’t that cute?
Josh and Seth both had scathing critiques on my game play, but Righteoustetris struck with grand success — I now hold the second highest score. Again. Can I mention that I haven’t played on the iPhone in months? That challenge, it’s just adorable.
More games: Bowling. It’s on like Donkey Kong.
It’s probably been at least ten years since we all went bowling. We had the bowling alley to ourselves, and it was super fun drinking alongside mom and dad. There was some glorious trash talk. I must say we were exceptional bowlers, with frighteningly good form and earth-shattering strikes. Some of us even broke 100.
Seth was in charge of the board. Mom’s turn read “Miller Time”.
One of Canby’s cougars taking a bite out of Dad.
We celebrated Seth’s last hours of being seventeen with coffee, hash browns, and a chicken melt with fries.
Ah, to be young again… What am I talking about? I think we did that a couple weeks ago.
