Craigslist Success

We finally decided to give up our DirecTV dish and tripod, since the Vue Qube seems to be working so well (a few less pounds to carry around, and part of our ongoing effort to stay trim). Chris suggested that we put them up for sale on Craigslist--the first time we've ever used it. Today the dish and tripod went to their new home with a mail carrier who had just gone out on his first trip last weekend in his new RV and was disappointed with the poor TV reception. Good for him and good for us.

We picked Annie up from Poekoelan and joined Chris for another great soup and salad supper. This time we had broccoli and cheese soup. All the soups we've had have been from Soup Cycle--a small company that makes and delivers fresh homemade soup made with local, mainly organic, ingredients. The soups have all been delicious. They're delivered by bicycle, one day a week only. For dessert we had fresh local strawberries we picked up at a roadside stand today.

Annie has a new home based project for school, to do something creative, like a scientific experiment. She and I talked about ideas for experiments, and she liked the idea of testing how much catnip it takes to make Phoebe and Violet start loving and licking a small stuffed cat toy. Later we watched program two of Carl Sagan's Cosmos.

We checked out four campgrounds in the area and decided that Sandy Riverfront is still our favorite, although Fairview RV Park is also nice and would be our second choice of the ones we've seen.
