rosebeeSaturday:
-Went hiking up a local butte Saturday afternoon (round trip = 3 miles). Weather was GORGEOUS! LOTS of people & their dogs were there.
-Went out to dessert with HTB's Brother & SIL Saturday evening. We went to a new local restaurant that serves Tapas (it's a foreign word, I'm not sure which language, and I think it means appetizers, or possibly entrees). But we went there because they also serve Chocolate Fondue for dessert. YUUUUMMMMM!!!! SOOOO Good!!! The 4 of us split 1 order (which is supposed to serve 2 people) and then each couple had one additional dessert. HTB & I split a fabolous key lime pie, and his Bro & SIL split a raspberry cheesecake.
-By that time it was almost 10pm, and the 4 of us then went back to our place were we played The Farming Game (see: www.farmgame.com if you're not familiar with it). We played until 2am. It's a fun game and can get rather involved. They left and I crashed into bed almost immediately.
Sunday:
-I managed to sleep in until 10 (a big accomplishment for me, normally I can't sleep in any longer than 8am or so). But 8 hours was still not quite enough sleep so I was kinda cranky most of the day.
-HTB slept in until noon. We got all our grocery shopping done (including our semi-monthly trip to Costco), and we got all the laundry done!!
Overall, it was a good weekend. Now I just want one more. :)
HTB & I both played The Farming Game as kids with our respective families. The game came out ~1980, and was thought up by a northwest (Central/Eastern Washington State) farmer. and when we were looking for other board games to play, I suggested we get outselves our own copy. It's lots of fun. Like Monopoly, except you're not trying to constantly gouge the other players, you're just trying to build up your own farm & make money off of it.
Lots of fun. Highly recommended for those who enjoy board games.
