One of Rob's students made this for him. It is one of the coolest gifts he has ever gotten from a student. It's pretty amazing.

September 16, 2012: A Walk
Festival Latino was going on in Monteith Park. We heard the music from our house and had to check it out. There was a mariachi band for Mexican Independence Day.
We saw geese and sleeping ducks on the river.
We walked along the river path.
We ended up at Calapooia Brewery where we indulged in a beer and some french fries.
We also got to see these cool beer signs.
September 14, 2012: Pigeon
A pigeon visited our pond. We think he may have been injured. He walked around our entire yard before being chased by our neighbor's cat. We scared the cat away. The pigeon hid.
The pigeon was gone in the morning. There were no signs that he had been eaten. I wish him only the best and hope he is still walking around the neighborhood somewhere.

September 9, 2012: Foosball and Harvest
We got a foosball table for free on Craigslist. It's a little dusty, but it makes a great addition to our basement game room.
Here is our awesome miniature harvest. It's all going in a salad for lunch tomorrow.
September 8, 2012: Jim Gaffigan
We went to Portland for the night to see Jim Gaffigan. Funny guy! We had dinner at Pizza Schmizza, where they were filming an episode of the Real World. We might be in the background, if they use the footage. Not sure if I should be proud or disgusted :)
The food was really good.
Jim Gaffigan was at the Keller Auditorium. We were pretty close to the stage :)
Afterward we went to Mcmennamin's, drank some beer/cider, and ate a hummus plate. Yum!

September 4, 2012: First Day of School
Today was our first day back at work.
And even though we don't have a picture, I want to tell you about a skunk that visited our yard last night. The smell woke us and the cat up. Little did we know that while we were falling back to sleep, the skunk was raiding our pond. All our pond plants were chewed on and ripped apart. The filter was pulled off the pump, and the pump was thrown into the middle of the pond. Also, sadly, I think we may have lost some fish :( Our little gold guy is still swimming around, but whitey and grey guy are MIA. Hopefully tonight goes better for them.

September 2, 2012: Leaving Medford
We had breakfast at Buttercloud in Medford. They had the most amazing homemade biscuits, jam and granola. Yummy!
Driving home from Medford. It's a beautiful drive through the mountains.
We stopped at Seven Feathers Casino and actually left with more money than we had when we arrived :)September 1, 2012: Trip to Medford
We went to Medford to visit some friends. We stopped by Ray's grocery store where they were advertising a "Meat Bonanza." Rob really wanted a picture of him and our friend, Evan, next to the sign. I took a little too much time trying to zoom in and get the perfect picture when all of a sudden the automatic door opened and hit Rob on the back. The guy walking out of the store was laughing at the whole scene, as were we.
I love the lights that our friends have on their front porch.
Medford was fun!
