We had a delightful time in Colorado, checking in with friends and family in several cities. We went to our storage unit and decided that much of what we had planned to pick up was really unnecessary or had been replaced already. I did get my sewing machine and box of projects! Fun, fun.
We spent a couple of days in Loveland so Marv could go to Annual Conference and check in with some friends and colleagues. It was a good day for both of us - I sewed all day.
Then four days driving and a couple of days in the middle to relax, and we got to Bend, Oregon. We're here for a month. It's a lovely town with lots of trees. Free concerts in the park, farmer's markets, beautiful mountains (like Faith, Hope and Charity, the Three Sisters).
The first couple of weeks were unusually hot. Everyone in town was commenting on how strange the weather was. By noon it was time to stay out of the sun. But we managed to attend the Bite of Bend. Many food booths with samples for $1 or $2. Lots of yummy stuff! Of course it rained part of the time, but that just cools things off. And I have discovered that I don't even melt in the rain. Who knew?
We walked around the park downtown one day and discovered many ducks in the river nearby, some of them "mooning" us as they looked for food underwater. Cute!
Next - Quilt Week in Bend and Sisters!
