Today is Monday. Kara had to go to work, so Brendan and I spent the day together. First we ate VooDoo Doughnuts for breakfast. Then we went into the city and walked around. We ended up at for lunch at Sushi Sakara. It was an automated sushi bar with a conveyor belt. As the sushi traveled by, you could take them off the conveyor belt. I ate a LOT! The calamari was really good. He made a special batch for us. Then we drove up a little mountain to the Japanese Gardens. It was so very beautiful and serene. I was so happy walking with my wonderful son through the lush green gardens, taking pictures and just being. I bought myself some hummingbird earrings and a little jade turtle for Brendan to keep at his desk. We also went to Pittock Mansion, a beautiful home which has been restored by the city. I especially like the stove and the showers. The rose gardens were pretty, and you could see the whole city from the grounds. We had a beautiful day to walk around. I think the rain is behind us. Brendan cooked for me tonight. We walked to the grocery store, and he cooked some delicious mashed potatoes and broccoli with cheese. Yummy. I have a good cook son.
