Saturday I went to the grand opening of <a href=\"http:\/\/pixpatisserie.com\/\">Pix Patisserie&#8217;s <\/a>new location with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.action-hero.net\/blog\/knitblog.html\">Action Hero Melissa<\/a> and my friend Wendy and her two girls:<br \/>\n<center><a href=\"http:\/\/www.supereggplant.com\/archives\/pix.JPG\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"pix.JPG\" src=\"http:\/\/www.supereggplant.com\/archives\/pix-thumb.JPG\" width=\"240\" height=\"180\" border=\"3\" \/><\/a><\/center> I took a photo of my croissant and two pieces of chocolate, but the photo actually looked kind of obscene, so I decided to just delete the thing. But hey, here&#8217;s a great shot of Lillie enjoying her bubble gum-flavored cotton candy outside of Pix:<br \/>\n<center><a href=\"http:\/\/www.supereggplant.com\/archives\/pix lillie cotton candy.JPG\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"pix lillie cotton candy.JPG\" src=\"http:\/\/www.supereggplant.com\/archives\/pix lillie cotton candy-thumb.JPG\" width=\"240\" height=\"180\" border=\"3\" \/><\/a><\/center> Her sister Paulina is not so thrilled by the cotton candy:<br \/>\n<center><a href=\"http:\/\/www.supereggplant.com\/archives\/pix paulina cotton candy.JPG\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"pix paulina cotton candy.JPG\" src=\"http:\/\/www.supereggplant.com\/archives\/pix paulina cotton candy-thumb.JPG\" width=\"240\" height=\"180\" border=\"3\" \/><\/a><\/center><br \/>\nThen Sunday was the <a href=\"portlandmarathon.org\">Portland Marathon<\/a>. Action Hero Melissa was participating in it, so I went to cheer her on. My <a href=\"http:\/\/www.i8u.org\/blog\">brother<\/a> has volunteered at the marathon for years, so I tracked him down at mile 12. Right when I was giving him his coffee and pastry, Melissa and her friend Michelle went by! Poor Melissa trained her butt off but got injured, so she couldn&#8217;t really run. I saw her again at about mile 18 on the St. John&#8217;s Bridge, the prettiest bridge in Portland. Here&#8217;s the view from the bridge and a shot as I was driving over it:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.supereggplant.com\/archives\/pdx marathon view from stjohns bridge.JPG\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"pdx marathon view from stjohns bridge.JPG\" src=\"http:\/\/www.supereggplant.com\/archives\/pdx marathon view from stjohns bridge-thumb.JPG\" width=\"200\" height=\"150\" border=\"2\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.supereggplant.com\/archives\/pdx marathon driving over stjohns br.JPG\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"pdx marathon driving over stjohns br.JPG\" src=\"http:\/\/www.supereggplant.com\/archives\/pdx marathon driving over stjohns br-thumb.JPG\" width=\"200\" height=\"150\" border=\"2\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nI then somehow ended up going shopping with my brother. We both bought shoes at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rei.com\">REI<\/a> (and yes, Carolyn, my orthotics fit into them). I also briefly saw my parents. My mother is on medication because she had a wacko reaction to either her flu or pneumonia shot, and my father? Well, he tried to pawn off a rack for miniature souvenir spoons on me. When I declined his offer, he muttered something about &#8220;this crazy family.&#8221; Ummmm, yeah.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Living in a big city means lots of choices for fun!
