Oregon

Bob and Toni Bowers left the local area decades ago and settled in Southern Oregon.  Despite the distance gap, we've remained close friends for all these years.  Over the years, we've traveled to their home(s) for many visits as our kids were growing up.  Now, as empty nested retirees, our visits are much more relaxed.  The general motto is "easy does it."  On this latest trip, highlights included watching the Canadian geese take off from the lake in the late afternoon during happy hour, shopping for antiques with intermittent bar visits in Grants Pass, watching evening movies while munching on popcorn, visiting with the Gmurs over dinner, etc.  One highlight was driving to Union Creek for a walk in the woods among the fall colors and then eating at Becky's, the wonderful restaurant we've visited over the years.  Our time at the Bowers' home in Central Point was sandwiched between two nights at the Running Y Ranch in Klamath Falls and three nights at the Kon Tiki Inn in Pismo Beach.  We loved our ten days of fun, relaxation, laughter, and good times.
