We're at Greg's parents' this weekend. We drove up yesterday and Shannon, Ralph, Jeff and Hillary were already here for Pat's 54th birthday! We stopped at Greg's cousin's, the Fords and saw two new babies, Alex and Dominic. It was great seeing everyone and especially fun playing around on a unicycle. Unfortunately we don't have any pictures. Ben (Greg's cousin) is definitely the master. Everyone tried and stabled themselves holding onto a car and later we set up a ladder to guide everyone. I didn't think I was going to try it because I have trouble enough walking sometimes and everyone was struggling so much, but when it was just Greg and I - I tried for a minute or two. It was fun! It cracked me up at how we're all getting old and sensible. Jeff kept insisting we get a helmet (which we later did).
Later Randy and Pat took us all out to eat at this AMAZING restaurant. Oh my. I fear my mother's reaction when I say this, but I had the best salmon of my life! Greg's steak was the same way! All the food was EXQUISITE! I say it everytime, there's just nothing like good food! When each bite shuts out reality and you just are. Each moment the food is in your mouth it is an experience! Rebecca, I know you know what I'm talking about. Well, it was incredible to say the least. And it was just fun to be with everyone. A good time. The longer time goes on the more and more I enjoy my time with my in-laws. It was really nice. Thanks to Pat and Randy!
I can't believe Greg is going to GRADUATE NEXT MONTH!!! Insane! I was so relieved this morning when we talked with Greg's uncle in Germany using Skype. It worked so well! We could see them and talk to them so easily! It was wonderful! It relieved my mind so much that I'll still be able to talk to everyone! It's completely free as well. You just download it. I don't know all the details. I would google it, or ask Greg. I feel like I should have more to say but I don't! All is well!

Wooooooooooo pretty gutsy to say you had teh best salmon, you'll never hear the end of that one! I love you. I'm glad you had fun. If you guys are back, you shoudl come over. love you.
Sounds great! We will have to get that internet thing that is free so we can talk all the time! We will be in oregon for like...a week either before OR after the reunion. We will definitely let you know. I love you so much and am way excited to see you in a few months!
Megan, Be sure to let us know if we can come to see Greg graduate. I know that sometimes tickets aren't available and you both have large families. I am glad you had fun and I agree with Amy watch out!!! I am glad you got a helmet it only takes a few seconds to really hurt yourself. You are right to be careful, that is the spirit speaking to you. Love grandma
Megan, sounds like you had fun down south at Randy and Pats. I'm glad you get along so well with them. It is easy to see that they are wonderful people. Now to a very important subject - - Salmon. I have thought about your comment since reading your blog. And I have decided that I am happy that you ate the best tasting salmon you have ever had in your life at that restaurant and that you felt comfortable enough with your mother and me to admit it. I'm proud of your courage.
Love, Your dad
Oh, by the way, did I mention that you will be eating tacos and not salmon, tuna, or halibut the next time you visit?
That is so cool about the skype, I have heard about it and I am excited about it. I think it will be cool for all of us to finally get with it. It will force us all to do that! About the salmon, I have had great salmon and other fish in really high class restaurants and so I am not in the least bit offended! I would experiment more and probably will, but your dad is sooooo afraid to try new things. When we were in New York we ate at a couple of restaurants like that where every bite felt like heaven. You just want to close your eyes and melt into the food. I love that feeling. We have a very expensive restaurant in Newport like that. We go there on occasion and most of the time it is heavenly, sometimes its just good, but only once did I have a cookie there that was not good.
That is so funny about getting older and more sensible. It is amazing how young we become that way.
I love you!!! and am glad you had a great weekend.
it was great to see you guys! Glad you got to see Dominic too! Sounds like the bday party went well!
It was fun seeing you guys! Alex loved being oohed and awed at. He was quite upset when everyone left. :)

I love picturing you on a unicycle--that makes me so happy! :) ha ha! And an early congratulations to Greg on his graduation!!!
Oh, and I had just learned about that Skype thing earlier this week--I'm glad to hear it really works well!!! If we end up moving out of state the end of this year, I was dreading not having an inexpensive way to communicate with my family, so I'm really glad to see you've tried it and like it!!!
I'm so excited for you guys!
p.s. your Dad's comment is so stinkin' funny! I love it! He reminds me of my Dad!!!
that is such a pretty pic of Pat!
"When each bite shuts out reality and you just are." That is a great quote. If I was crafty I would put that on a board and hang it in my kitchen. I love it. Wow, I still can't believe you're running, and in the rain. You are like Rocky. Love you and miss you.
