Weekend Fun

Last weekend, was a blast! We had two friends over for BBQ on Friday night. We played three games of bacce ball at a local park, near our home. Our friend Tyler is a pro at the game. We managed to play on both grass and gravel at the playground.

Larry played Frisbee golf with the same "boys" on Saturday night. They mapped out an 18 hole golf course throughout the Old Mill office park. Larry works with Tyler and he's the leader of the pack, entitled "The Boys". There are four of them between the ages of 22-24, that live in this college house near the Old Mill District. They have great personalities, are extremely friendly and talented. We usually play sand volleyball with them on Thursday nights too.

Sunday, we tried a new church, New Hope. We were delighted by the appearance and sound of two electric guitars and thumbing drums on the worship team. The message wasn't bad either.
Larry and I took a bike ride near the Dechutes River in the afternoon and explored the bike path that follows the river through town. We managed to arrive at the amphitheater during this Sunday's free concert too! The band was playing western swing music, and they played well. We stayed at listened to four songs and then headed home to make dinner.

I stumbled across a moving sale on Saturday and fell in love with a 60's styled dresser and bought it for a bargain. Larry and I are lost without a dresser to store our clothes. The dresser has nine drawers to accommodate the joint clothing piles accruing on our closet floor, and some black oriental like handles for the drawers. I have sanded the dresser and plan to paint it this week. My hope is to decoupage the drawers with rice paper to make the dresser that more Asian. We'll see how it turns out.

Staying in the creative mode... I decided to take the decorative colored glass rocks used at our wedding and glue them to a framed mirror I picked up at Michael's. It brings a new texture to our guest bathroom wall, and plays with the sunlight brought in from our skylight. I'll have to take some pictures of the house to show the essence of our new home.
