As always the second half of anyone's vacation flies by. Mostly we hung out at the house and visited. We did a lot of evening cocktails and sitting on the deck. Ron and Dad did some chipping in the backyard, always a nice pastime. We did take a run down to Lithia Park. But I forgot my camera on that trip so I am hoping Patty will add those photos to her blog.
On Friday Patty and I did some shopping downtown and went out to lunch (something Dad and Ron would always rather skip and they did). We ate at Lela's. When Rachel Ray visited Ashland a couple of years ago she had her lunch there. Rachel Ray was one of my Mom's favorite cooks from the Food Channel. So Patty and I especially enjoyed that lunch. We shared a Greek Salad and a barbequed chicken pannini.
Then Friday night Rick, May, and Lisa drove down from Portland. Yesterday Rick and May cut Ron's hair together. They do absolutely everything together. They also went swimming at the reservoir at the top of Lithia Park. This time they took Lisa They are all there again today.
Last night we all had pizza and played cards. Dad learned a new fun and easy game from Aunt Betty and Uncle Jack. He taught us and we are having a good time with it.
This morning Dad and Patty left and the house is definitely emptier. I don't like people to leave. It was so wonderful having them here. One comfort is they are planning to return in August and to bring Scott next time. Goody, goody.
