My trip to Oregon started with a very painful and long trip to the other coast. Having worked first thing in the morning and then the drive to Tampa and then the flight to Oregon and then the drive to Ashland from Portland it ended up that we were up for 24 hours. Ugh. We did get some sleep on the airplane and in the car so that helped. We checked into our hotel about 5:00 am our time but 2:00 west coast time. But we were there.
The first day we had lunch with Donald and his friend Darnell and that was wonderful. After a nap it was off to dinner with Mom, Jackie, Rich (Jackie's ex-husband), Calvin (Donald's grandfather and Darnell. We had the best Carbinerra (Sorry Naomi, yours is actually better). The a first happened. Jackie and Rich were deciding how to split the bill and Donald piped up and said how about he pay the bill. This is a first and I had to document the occasion with a photo.
Mom was cold after dinner and he let mom wear his hockey jersey. I loved the 60 degree weather. So refreshing after our 90 degree weather. Ashland is built on the side of a mountain with parts in the valley but the better part of the town in on a hill. More pictures to come.
I've also want to share some of the layouts I've done of Donald in the past 6 months. I'll put them in another post.
