It's been awhile since I've posted, I know. We had a very busy few days past weekend. Carrie's brother Matthew was in town for a job interview at TPT on Saturday; apparently it went very well. Friday evening we gathered at C&R's for Indian food, very delicious and it was good to see Matthew again. He's quite excited about the possibility of possibly starting a new job and is OK with moving back to the mid-west from Portland.
Saturday, after the interview we met him and Christine for lunch at Day by Day, and then we spent several hours driving around potential neighborhoods, looking for likely places for him to find a place to live. Battle Creek, the East Side, North Saint Paul, Hudson, WI, White Bear Lake and Little Canada. We then met a friend of his and had dinner at the Happy Gnome.
Sunday folks gathered at our house for an afternoon gaming/meet Matthew party. Michael and Norbert as well as C&R came and we played the updated version of Scruples and then split up to play various card games. Finally it was time to drive Matthew to the airport and the party broke up. Lots of good food as usual, and a fun time, despite an off and on drizzle.
These days were so busy and constant I didn't even think to take any photos! (Plus the battery in my camera is acting wonky; time for a new one [battery, that is] I guess.)
Anyway, our fingers are crossed for Matthew.
