Spur of the moment
At the spur of a moment I decided to call my friend Chris in Beaverton. Spur of the moment if you can call finally doing something you have been thinking about since April. I say April because that was when I obtained Agatha, my dependable car, my car safe for making a drive to Beaverton and back. I had tried calling Solomon and he was unavailable and I needed to get out of the house. I called Chris while I had the opportunity and he was home and free of plans. I picked a great day because if I had called on Sunday he would have been occupied with picking up his wife, Genevieve. She had been out of town for two weeks. While I had hoped to see them both it was a chance I seldom get to spend time with Chris alone. I left immediately to visit and we had a nice time. We got reacquainted and drank green tea.
As we often do when I visit we went to Uwajimaya, an Asian market. Once there we visited Kinokuniya, a bookstore. Chris indulged one of my obsessions as an early Yule gift. I have two new tarepanda items to add to my collection, a calendar and a little suction cup with tarepanda on a swing. Tarepanda truely makes me giddy happy!
I hope to make it up there again soon to see them both and take Elijah with me. I learned that Chris is working for Frit O Lay. He packages pretzels and while the work is just work he does have good benefits and great pay. He informed me that he can get cookies at a great discount but my favorites, the Frosted Lemon are one of the most popular.
Chris, you are a wonderful great friend and I adore you immensely.
