News from willowwacks

Howdy!

Sisters is hot and dry. Oh how I've missed the high desert! It's so beautiful, I am already planning our adventures for Rodeo 2013.

Big stories:
1. Weston Randall Eid finally arrived! Trip to SoCal in a week and a half.
2. Mini lawn! We received 500 square feet of free sod so I had a good 12 hr work day raking up Central Oregon potatoes (rocks) and spreading top soil (manure). Now the family can watch grass grow together again!
3. Copenhagen is a go! Picking my classes: Viking sagas, Classical and Renaissance Rome, Marine biology, Biodiversity, and Sustainability in Europe
4. Cowboys and Aliens! Surprisingly good. Also the book "Visit from the goon squad" by Jen Egan for anyone looking for a new read.
5. 2,038. The new population of Sisters (city limits) finally broke the 2,000 mark. Also, I'm all caught up on the goss. Scandals! And if you're ever bored the sheriff's calls have been priceless these last few weeks.
6. Meteor Month. Unfortunately there is a full moon this weekend for the Perseid meteor shower, but August is always full of shooting stars so try and get out one of these nights and do a little gazing!
7. White Zinfandel. I've always been a little skeptical of pink wine but it is delicious! Maybe a Pink Party to follow the infamous Purple Party?
8. Charlie has dreadlocks again.
9. Kittens. Dylan, be prepared.

That's about it for now! I can't wait to hear from the Fall-abroaders and your adventures to come!
