Happy Birthday, Courtney

Cougar game yesterday. WSU vs Arizona "Sun Devils"
Cold, windy, same old outcome!
First half: Offense played well, but the defense ... well, the defense was a "no-show."
Second half: The coach must have had a little "you-know-what!" at half-time. Both offense AND defense played quite well, but not quite good enough to extract the Cougars from the first half hole they dug for themselves! Close game, but "No Cigar."

We went to our usual Sunday breakfast in town at "The Old European Waffle House" but, not surprisingly, since it was "Dad's Weekend" in Cougarville, the place was packed with a stated one-hour wait. NO breakfast is worth a one-hour wait, in my opinion. There is a small restaurant up on the hilltop called, appropriately, "Hilltop Restaurant." We've never been there before, but we passed it on the way to the waffle house. I noted that it didn't seem busy, so I suggested we go there and give it a try, expecting to find a rather ordinary restaurant. Not so: The Hilltop is a small place, but very nice. In fact, one of the nicest restaurants in Pullman. It is owned and has been operated by a local Pullman family (Ron and Barbara Wachter) for many years. This Sunday, being Dad's Weekend, the Hilltop featured a sunday buffet, with yummy homemade pastries and some of the best potatoes au gratin that I have ever eaten. The raspberry crepes were another "must have more" item. But probably the best part was meeting and chatting with the owners. This will surely become one of our favorite hangouts. (We looked over the usual food menu and found it to be quite interesting. If the food matches the descriptions, it will be outstanding.)

We stopped by Jacquie's new art studio and hung a few painting. It's coming together nicely.

We spent another two hours trying to get the satellite internet working. No results. Something must be seriously wrong. It should not be this hard! Stay tuned.
