Canterbury and Oregon Garden

My friend Sue

The second weekend at Canterbury was perhaps more fun than the first. Here are some pictures I snagged from the photographer. You can see the rest of the album here if you want to. There are so many interesting characters!

As soon as I arrived Saturday I went to visit Brenda the braider. She did an amazing job. My hair stayed in place for the entire weekend.

This woman is so fun to watch. She is the merry (creepy) prankster. 

Cab met me at my last performance Sunday and we went to stay at Oregon Garden Resort for the night. After a walk in the garden and a  fantastic steak dinner in the restaurant, we went to Gallon House in Silverton and chatted until dusk. It was a relaxing end to a busy weekend.

Monday we left fairly early. I went to Home Depot to check on some flooring for my apartment. My landlord won't replace my kitchen floor till I move out, but that old linoleum is just gross. I thought about stick on tiles. My landlady didn't say no exactly. My plan is to photograph the old floor then put on the new tiles. It will only cost about $30 and will look SO much better. 

I went home and crashed until I had to get Ruben at 5. I was exhausted. When I got to the church to pick up Ru I got a text saying it would be another hour before the buses would arrive. So I napped in the car. 

When the buses finally arrived I didn't see Ru till about half the people left. His camp leader came first carrying his sleeping bag and a garbage sack of the dirtiest clothes ever. Ru was carrying his bag and a box of fruit loops which he was still munching on. He looked kind of dazed. 

We got him loaded up and then I asked him about camp. He didn't volunteer much information, but from what I gather he had a good time. He played on the waterslides, had a lot of camp meetings, enjoyed the food, didn't have any headaches, and hung out mostly with the other Judson campers. He was so crabby and untalkative I let him go zone out on his computer for the remainder of the evening but made him go to bed early. On Tuesday I let him rest a lot, he was still on edge. He wasn't normal till Wednesday.
