Birthday and bear repelling

Kathryn and Jeremy joined us for dinner last night, and we celebrated her birthday with a fresh strawberry pie. Then the guys took all her and my money at poker. Jeremy talked to Justin, and we learned he and Alisa were apartment hunting - do we get to see and hear more about that soon, you Portlanders? Also, did anyone from Utah go camping this last weekend that we might get pictures and an update of? And I think someone may have gone to Reno to play basketball! We're looking forward to lots of sharing!!!!!


Jeremy and Dad installed electric fencing around our backyard hives this evening in an effort to stop the damage being done way too often. Simultaneously they were being annoyed by bees and mosquitoes. Last night the bear repeatedly returned, despite being shot at. We were very relieved that the authorities didn't come knocking on our door.

Those are great pictures too Mom! That's too bad about that darn bear! I wonder what the new neighbors think of their neighborhood! :) Love, Jen

Fun birthday celebration!

Bears in Paradise, really? I'm actually semi surprised. Maybe you need to move out of the woods =), hehe, jk!

As for the apt hunting. Not very exciting. Looking to go cheaper since we'll have one unemployed member of the household after June. But when we make a decision I'm sure Justin will post something.
