We only have the picture of dessert, but we had a delicious dinner at Urdaneta!
This isn’t our first time eating this delicious food. We also ordered from this restaurant to celebrate my new job. It was during the quarantine part of the pandemic and so this is the first time we’ve sat down in the restaurant.
Jennifer sent me this trio of pictures celebrating William Barnes, the Dorset Poet. The are: the church at Winterbourne Came, “a small dispersed settlement and civil parish in the county of Dorset” (so says Wikipedia). Whitcombe church, scene of his early services. And Winterborne Came rectory, his home until his death in 1886.
Here’s more about William Barnes, including some of his poetry.
I enjoyed that this postcard was made in 1991. Getting a 31-year-old postcard in the mail is one of the reasons I enjoy Postcrossing. Also, Jennifer let me know that her daughter popped in for a surprise visit from Australia and that she hadn’t seen her for years. So that was fun.
As were the stamps!
Matt and I tried out the mini golf at Portland’s only amusement park.
I like that all the holes had these flags. They made it easier to get the ball in.
In fact, I was on fire during this golf game. “On fire,” in this case, is defined as mostly only being one over par and sometimes making par but still losing. Usually it takes me six or seven tries, hand-eye coordination not being a thing with me. But for whatever reason today, I could really get that golf ball where I needed it to be.
The course itself was very basic. But it was also deserted, which was nice. I hate to feel hurried during mini golf.
