Sometimes The Best Laid Plans....

Here's how we intended to spend this afternoon and evening:  First, at a BBQ at our friend Magda's house in SE Portland with the twins.  Then we planned to head off across the river to Vancouver to help our friend Michelle celebrate her birthday.  Instead a truck hit us and nicely banged up our new car as we drove to Magda's.  None of us were hurt, thank God.  The car is another story .  We never made it to the BBQ or to Vancouver but not all was lost:  Symphony in the Park was about two blocks from our house and after spending a little time at that we left the girls with the babysitter we'd already scheduled for tonight and headed over to our neighborhood theater to see The Bourne Ultimatum.  It wasn't how we planned to spend the day but at least we're all ok.
