Leaving Portland

Today is the day of Chris and Annie's flight to Texas for their family reunion. We got up early and got to Chris's about 9 a.m. for another wonderful homemade waffle breakfast with maple syrup and raspberry topping. Annie came home from school after lunch and we all headed for the airport to drop them off for their 3:30 flight. All went well except that the rain started on the way to the airport, and their suitcases in the truck bed got a bit wet.

We stopped on the way home to shop for some odds and ends, and spent the rest of our day hooking up the various components to the TV and getting everything to work properly. I always find it a bit frustrating to work with the tangle of cables and connections in our entertainment center, but there's a sense of satisfaction in getting it all working and buckled down for our trip tomorrow.

For supper we had fish tacos made with tilapia and red beans.
