Trip to Bend, Oregon






On February 1 Jean and I set out for Bend, Oregon for a week long trip. This is the kind of trip where we basically unplug from life, take some books to read, some movies to watch, some projects to work on, and an expectancy to relax. All of those were accomplished. I didn't get to read through all the books I wanted, but did manage to spend some time with "The Black Box" by Michael Bene and "Can Man Live Without God" by Ravi Zacharias. I worked on my blogsite material, wrote a little for my book, and put together material for our 2008 newsletter. We went shopping and went for walks in the snow and along the river. You know you've had a great vacation when it is difficult to return home. We weren't ready to return but wanted to stay another week.

We did see some wildlife. We saw several deer and hawks and when returning from Sisters we saw a bald eagle tearing away at the flesh of a dead deer. Way cool.

What did you say to get Jean smiling. (It's fun to see.) Would you both like to add some pictures of a vacation to the gulf coast?
