Jennifer Day

This morning we took a trip over the Cascade Mountains to Eugene Oregon to pick up Jennifer. She was there for three days interviewing for a job at the University of Oregon. She feels like she did fairly well but doesn't want to get her hopes up - understandable, but I hope they realize that future Nobel Prize winners are few and far between!

Here we are leaving the Secret Garden B&B - cute place complete with dogs!



We stopped on the way back to bend for lunch at The Lodge at Suttle Lake, they have a Rustic restaurant on the lake.


And Helen tried out the facilities!

After resting for a little while, we walked into town for "First Friday" The Galleries were packed with people, the food and wine were good, especially the chocolate truffles. Most of the art was beyond our means but impressive.
We met up with our friends Robert & Diane and after visiting most of the places downtown we settled on Thai food, which was tasty.
That brings everyone up to date - tomorrow a whirl wind tour of Bend for Jenn!
