"It wasn't her stellar beauty and intense gaze that drew the love seekers to her"From Ashland I made a last minute layover in Eugene for two nights. My ride was dropping someone off in Eugene on our way to Portland, so instead of sticking with my original route I decided to jump ship in Eugene and rendezvous with my Loves. I landed at Caitlin and Deven’s house to unwind for a few hours while Cait finished school. I picked her up and off we went for a late birthday celebration and ladies night out on the town! The next day Cait didn’t have class, so we decided to have a full day of fun activities. We took Ginny and went for a long hike/walk/run through one of my favorite parks in Eugene, made brunch, gave ourselves facials, then followed that up with wine tasting in the Willamette Valley. Deven came down from Portland that evening and Caitlin prepared a delicious dinner for all of us. It was another great time in Eugene!
The next day I headed north to Portland on the Amtrak Cascades just in time to make Andrew’s going away party. In the four days I spent with Anj I met just about every person he lived with in Portland,
Birthday Dinner
cocktails and catch up with one of my favorites as well as shared a meal with them. I saw all the places he lived, had a crazy fun celebration downtown with all his friends, and then managed to help him pack up his Focus and get on the road to start his new adventure down in Flagstaff, Arizona. It was funny having him leave me in Portland for he was the one that originally brought me up to this city. Oh how the tables turn. Another thing I experienced was how special it is to have a friend that you’ve known your WHOLE life who you still adore, enjoy, and who knows you almost better than you know yourself. Lots of reminiscing, laughter, and new memories made.
Wishing you all the luck and focus for this next year in school Drew. You’re going to crush it! And also have fun exploring that beautiful area; hopefully I’ll be able to visit while you’re there.
Continuing the story...I jumped to another friend’s house with whom I went to high school, who many of you know… Mr. Brodie McNabb. He invited me on a last minute camping trip with him and his roommate Harlan to the
John Day area of Oregon. Of course I replied with a big “Game On”
… Pictures and stories to come.
Until then sending everyone a big hug and smile, talk to you soon.
