The Days and Times
Saturday continued to be abnormal even after the conference. I worked at the library then sped up to Woodburn and stopped at the local Walmart (that sorry establishment!) to see if my friend BD (Aussie girl) was working that day.
I peered into the portrait studio, and beheld — not just BD — but also my friends the Goertzens! Hence, I got to observe and critique their poses (after being so invited) and then secured BD's okay for going out for ice cream that eve.
It was to be a wait of 45 minutes, putting us at maybe 9:15 or 9:30. I perused the store, found cards for my parents' birthdays, some socks. And then I waited for my friend. And I waited. And then I helped her close the studio (it was her last day working there, which means she will be leaving Oregon soon (boo hoo!) and will be in Australia in about a month). Finally we were done and it was 10:30 +.
We had a grand time at Shari's, talking about the day, etc. The waiters were jolly and the food edible.

Sunday I made a cake for my mother's birthday -- experimenting as is desirable to me. It ended up a two layered cake instead of a three because the middle layer was peaked in the middle and resulted in the top layer sliding off. The middle layer was relegated to a separate container.
***
So that was then. And back to school I received thank you cards from the children at Siletz Valley School. The dog skull was apparently popular, and one child even drew a picture with a half shell view of a horse hoof -- they actually payed attention to what I was showing them! If the actual career fair had not been worth it (which it was) this made it definitely so. It sounds like I get to go back next year if I am able.
