Each morning in Portland we go early for a walk for coffee. Ron and Amy have several favorite coffee shops in their neighborhood. Thursday morning we walked with Ron, Amy, Alice and Anthony for coffee. Then when Ron went to work we joined Rick, May, and Nico for a walk to a nice little coffee shop for breakfast. It was a chance to see Rick before we left. We also stopped by one last time to say "goodbye" to Alice, Anthony, Amy and Lisa. (Lisa is staying on awhile longer to look for work.)
We then left Portland to head home. Halfway home Ron had a spontaneous idea. Why not go to Sunriver? We have always wanted Patty to see the area. It seems like a place that she and Scott would love with all the rivers, mountains and lakes. So we drove east along the McKenzie River toward Bend and Sunriver.
We stopped at McKenzie Bridge's St. Benedict's Lodge. This is my own personal favorite place on earth. I want my ashes scattered there. To me it is heaven. Anyway we stayed over night in Bend at the Sugarloaf Mt. Motel. We had dinner at St. Francis's Brewery. We walked along the Deschutes River before retiring for the night.
It was such a delightful day. Serendipity!

BEAUTIFUL! Could be the site of the next family reunion... Love it!
I love it as well! May's hair is so long! You are all beautiful as usual.
Cool. Actually one of Kelly's bridesmaids has a family coffee shop in Portland Called Sip N Kranz. Not sure where it is located compared to Ron and Rick but if they ever see if they should check it out.
