Just Another Normal Night At The Kelley/Kiker Farm
Sometimes Thursdays are just as exciting as Fridays, ITS ALMOST THE WEEKEND! After work RuBoo and I dressed up to make a gourmet din!
Tudy was in charge of the AMAZING one day old fresh wild chinook salmon caught by her dad. She smothered the salmon with her dad's secret sauce and bbq'd to PERFECTION. flaky moist and perfect!
Why are we cooking in red satin dresses you ask.... BECAUSE WE CAN!
I was in charge of the veggies. Broccolini smothered with crimini mushrooms in a chardonnay reduction
The boys are always so good at going along with our crazy ideas.
Nice chest Lewis!
I'd pay $25 for our meal in a nice restaurant. All four of us were going crazy! We felt so special to have fresh caught amazing salmon, THANKS STEVE! In the middle of dinner I actually asked everyone to take a moment of silence and give God GLORY because I was so overwhelmed with God's creation. ha!
We had decided we potentially saved $150 on dinner so we deserved to go out for GELATO!
Phil is hilarious, I have such a weird husband. He is wearing a very "nice" outfit.
mmm...so rich and creamy.
Ended the evening with Nachos and NBC's Best Night of Comedy!

Ha ha ha ha!
So I was looking for pictures of 'snuggies' because I REALLY need one. During wokr I usually have a blanket on my lap and a blanket on my shoulders. 
During my search I found this and could not stop laughing. ha ha ha!

FIRST EGG!
So Ruby made this post: http://lewisandruby.blogspot.com/2009/11/new-addition-to-farm.html
and today we got our FIRST EGG! I'm so proud of the boys. They worked so hard.
See it??!!!!
The lady layers. We got them Sunday night.
Phil was so excited today. The very first thing he did when he woke up was to go to check on his chickens and the very first thing he did when he got home from classes was check on the chickens and he found the FIRST EGG! I love it!
The dogs thought they were getting a special treat.
Then they were bummed when I told them the egg wasn't for them.
So then they just wrestled as always.
From my work window I watched the Bain Girls meet the chickens. Phil gave Bets some chicken feed so she can feed them when she walks by on her daily walks.

My First Opera!
Friday at the end of work I got a last minute invitation to the Opera with Heather... "I've never been to the opera, what do I wear?!!!!!
I was working, I didnt have time to look for an outfit and be ready by 5:30! I called for emergency backup. Asked Ruby to make me an outfit. This is what I found when I got off work. Ruby laid out 4 outfits including shoes and accessories. She is so funny. She does this all the time.
Heather invited me to the Portland Opera to see Orpee.
Her mom has season box tickets and was out of town.
what I didnt know is that Opera's have subtitles to help you understand what is going on.
Ok my review of the Opera...WEIRD! The lady sitting next to me is also a singer and she said Orphee is currently the most 'modern' of the Operas out there. I usually dont understand modern art, dance, ect.... So what I was able to understand is that Death fell in love with a poet so she killed his pregnant wife and the poet got to go to the other side wearing magic gloves to pass through mirrors and then they had to go to court and the judges were drinking tea and they got a 2nd chance at life but they couldnt look at each other then the poet looked at his wife by mistake and she died again and........... and each time someone died bikers came to drag the bodies away. I appreciated the orchestra and the amazing human voice but the story was too weird for me! ha ha ha
during "halftime" heather and I went to the lounge for drinks.
after the play Heather challenged me to the "best burger ever". on the walk there we found 400 red lanterns and I fell in love with them.
Heather was RIGHT. Best Burger Ever at Higgins. A gourmet resturant with very creative menu items and we ordered the burger.
so delicious. I NEVER order burgers. I always take so long to order because I have to read every item and try the most creative dish. But this time I just enjoyed the simplicity of the burger.
We also met Leslie Mann.
you might recognize her from a handful of comedies.
