Weekend

It's been a nice weekend thus far. The weather yesterday was actually quite pleasant, though it did start to really heat up in the evening. The clouds kept the temperatures down during most of the day, so I was able to walk the dogs when I awoke around 9:30.

We went to brunch at a local bakery today that serves brunch, lunch, and dinner. It was OK. The bakery portion is excellent, but the brunch was just average. However, it is in a very nice little village center that we like. We also went to see Clerks II last night. D really liked it. I think it was OK, but I wasn't a huge fan of the first Clerks (gasp!) so I suppose that is the main issue with my B- grade of the movie. If you liked the first one, you'll like this one.

Today, D and I are supposed to head over to the nursery to pick out a couple of more hanging baskets for our front porch. We thought they would look quite nice out front, too. I love flowers - I just don't like planting them. Buying them preplanted is perfect! Other than that, no plans for the day.

Oh, the worst news: we're pretty sure our favorite restaurant here in Portland (Harrison) has shut down. We tried to go on Friday night, but it was closed - no sign saying so, the menus were still hanging in the window, locked door. Yesterday, we found their website is down and if you call the phone number, it just rings and rings. I'm so sad. It was such great food at great prices. I will truly miss them.
