May 3rd-9th

Tilly and I went to do some errands downtown on Tuesday and bumped into a friend on the street car who invited us to a playgroup at Isobel's clubhouse. We had such a great time and can't wait to go back. That night we went out to dinner with the FMIG which Richard will be co-chairing next year. Wednesday we celebrated Brunos birthday and cinco de mayo with Jordan and Topher and took turns putting the sombrero on Bruno's head- I'm sure he loved that! We also cooked a strawberry-rhubarb pie for TSO appreciation day.  Thursday we went to story time at the library, met a lot of new friends, and enjoyed the extra time they added. That night Richard and I dropped Tilly off at a friend's house and went to the OHSU Alumni Awards Dinner. It was a lot of fun to see all the doctors and students I know. We all went to the farmers market on Saturday and stocked up on lots of goodies, while running into a few friends. Sunday was Mothers day so I got the special treatment, we had a big breakfast, lunch outside in the beautiful weather, and out to eat for sushi and ice cream.

On Thursday, Richard helped organize the Annual Rebecca Landau social justice lecture, this year presented by Dr Robert Lawrence from the Bloomberg School of Public Health at Johns Hopkins University. Friday he went to the Oregon Academy of Family Physicians conference downtown, where he ran into Dr Rinehart, with whom he did his summer observership. Saturday, he helped with the Global Oregon kickoff, and got to sit in on brainstorming sessions for his friends' journey to Columbia this summer, where they will assess the need for a hydroplant in a small mountainous village.
