We just returned from our annual trip to the Portland Swap Meet. This meet is huge! - easily the biggest in the region. It lasts for 4 days, and tens of thousands of people walk through the booths, looking for something they can't go home without. Andy found tires for the '49, headers for the '49, cool headlights that might end up replacing the ones on the Dodge (unless I talk him out of them for the Model A...), a toolbox for the '92 truck, and some random smaller stuff. I found a pair of old roller skates with road wheels...
We (Forrest, Andy, and I) spent the evenings/nights with Suzie, and she was an awesome hostess. Not only did she take care of breakfasts and two dinners, she also packed lunches for us! We tested out some sandwiches for Marie's reception (they're very yummy), and cleaned her house right out of cookies. On Saturday night, Margaret and Greg came up from Independence to have dinner with us. Suzie cooked up some delicious Thai goodness - trying all the recipes for the first time - and ohhh my it was good! We had coconut shrimp soup, spring rolls, and salad. Margaret and Greg brought a raspberry dessert to top it off.
So...I didn't take a single picture, but we had a great time mingling with car people and catching up with family. When we came home, our daffodils had bloomed! That's a sure sign that winter is gone, right?
