Afterwards we got to hang out with the lead singer/fiddler and one of the dancers too-the man with the fastest feet in the world. Before tonight I didn't realize it was possible that anyone could tap 30 taps per second, but apparently that's his record! We stayed up until the wee hours of the morning, drinking mead, telling stories, joking, singing, and laughing in the cupola overlooking the harbor in Portland. It was a night to remember indeed.

Stone Mountain Arts Center
Britt and Hope took the hooties and I to Stone Mountain tonight to see an incredible Irish band called Celtic Crossroads play their hearts out. There were amazing little twinkle lights and windows that were carved in the shape of trees, and 8 musicians playing music you couldn't keep yourself from dancing to in your seat.

tying up loose ends
After two years of midwifery school, we are finally finishing up our last couple days of class! 
Inspiration abounds as we get ready to say goodbye to our classmates before everyone scatters around the globe to finish out their apprenticeships. We're tired, and ready for a change.
I thought the hooties would like to hear about some of the things we're learning (and three heads is better than one!)... In their sneaky way they appeared as if from nowhere (those tricksters!), which made everyone smile- not always an easy task at the end of a long journey!

*S-L-O-W riders!*
As promised, we found our way to the Portland Slow Riders' bike posse after August's First Friday. We were right in our element!
The Slow Riders meet at 8pm at Monument Square on every First Friday, and are open to anyone joining their groovy turns about town.
We were joined by spider man, three other tandem bikes, a woman with a dog in her backpack, some rockin' bass, and a whole lot of laughter, hooting, and whooping from crowds and bikers alike.
We had sparkles. We had lights. Glitz. Glitter. Glamour. You name it. We had a blast!
And we ended the night at Duckfat with giant smiles on our faces, fully inspired to join next month's bike posse too. We hope to make it a habit.
