\"Drive<\/a><\/p>\n

Our adventure continues, even if our journey does not.<\/p>\n

\"Millie<\/a>\u00a0\"Our<\/a><\/p>\n

We are settled into our cat box\/burning hair fragranced pet friendly room, thankful that the dogs are comfortable and able to stay with us.\u00a0 I could not imagine leaving Millie in a kennel not knowing when the cancer will overtake her.\u00a0 Our beds are pillow top and we have a sliding glass door for fresh air along with the best TV reception and number of channels since our journey began.\u00a0 We don\u2019t know when the mold remediation will start or when it will be complete but we are comfortably living In Eugene Oregon limbo for the next few weeks.<\/p>\n

\"Hirons<\/a>\u00a0\"Hirons<\/a>\u00a0\"Hirons<\/a><\/p>\n

One huge variety store, Hirons, has stores all over Eugene and appears to be the biggest jumble of junk and impulse buying goods I\u2019ve ever seen.\u00a0 John and I wandered around for half an hour just looking.\u00a0 You could stand in one place for 10 minutes and not see all that is jammed onto one shelf.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 And to further complicate your sight sorting abilities, it has bargain bins with unrelated items all thrown in together.<\/p>\n

\"Studio<\/a>\u00a0\"Studio<\/a><\/p>\n

We have finally discovered the great eateries.\u00a0 Breakfast is a local pancake house or Studio One Cafe, an eclectic little house turned caf\u00e9 with all types of omelets and interesting twists on salmon offerings, the salmon they smoke themselves and it is moist, flavorful and just plain yummy.\u00a0 We have been skipping lunch for an early dinner.\u00a0 Dinner has been purchased from the local Whole Foods type store, Market of Choice, and it is just across the street.<\/p>\n

And then there are the silver linings\u2026.The professional installer, and I use that word loosely, who put in our solar system has insurance. \u00a0\u00a0We only have to move bedroom things out to start the mold remediation.\u00a0 We have a room that allows our pups. \u00a0We have LilyPad in a covered storage being paid for by solar guy\u2019s insurance company and our food\/lodging expenses being paid for by solar guy\u2019s insurance company for the next few weeks.\u00a0 If we had planned for this major inconvenience we couldn\u2019t have planned better.<\/p>\n

\"Wild<\/a><\/p>\n

Eugene is getting ready to burst into bloom.\u00a0 Redbud, Dogwood, Magnolia and others that I haven\u2019t the least idea of the names line the streets and open spaces of the nearby Oregon State University campus, where we are temporarily planted. \u00a0Wild birds, geese, ducks of various types are everywhere, even in puddles in the parking lots.\u00a0 Can\u2019t wait to get out and take shots of the blossoms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
