Things We Are Loving This Week

• Hunter's new love for anything mobile and/or with wheels. (As said in H language): itsaBIGtruck!, arpane, duh truck, mowercycle!, bussss.
• Still reliving our Portland vaca (and no, we haven't forgotten to post the pics), including the search for the Shanghai tunnels, watching the elation spread on our friend (the groom) Mike's face upon learning his beloved Penguins had won the Stanley Cup, visiting Vista House and the Columbia Gorge in a huge cloud of fog, running into the inaugural Banancon celebrants, a hotel room without a bathroom (but with a private balcony) and sleeping in. As long as we wanted.
• Hunter's Mimi and Papa for watching him while we were away. And helping him achieve a kick-ass pool tan.
• Rogue beer straight from the tap.
• A 2-hour Scrabble match while the sun sets over Portland.
• Remembering why I started dating my hubs to begin with = because he's so easy to talk to.
• H greeting Brad home from work with a big hug and declaring LalaYu (translation: I love you)
• My brand new, white, 32G, 3GS iPhone. It's beautiful. Moment of silence in respect for Apple's uncomparable wisdom and design.

• 
  Our new fence!!!


• The song "I Feel Like a Child" by Devendra Banhart
• The book "Middlesex" by Jeffrey Eugenides (a Detroit born and raised author no less)
• Prepping for the New Kids On The Block concert on Thursday night
• This baby owl taking up residency at my mom's house

• Spending time on Detroit's Riverfront courtesy of Detroit River Days
• Amici's Pizza and martinis in Berkley, MI with old friends (Jason is home!) and new friends (Anthony and Katie)
