Homeward Bound

I thoroughly enjoyed the drive home from Eugene.  The scenery is beautiful.  We stopped to check out Shalie Falls which are right off the highway in between Eugene and Sisters.  If I we weren't in a hurry and I wasn't still in my skirt, we could have taken our pick of several short hikes.  I hope we have another opportunity.

We took a different route on the way back, through Burns.  It's more of a straight shot and pretty desolate, but we saw hawks, eagles, ground squirrels, and antelope.  It was good to talk to Terry and good not to talk, but just day dream.  There weren't very many cars on the road and we made good time.  Originally we thought we'd drive straight through and get home around 11:00, but opted instead to stay in Burns.

The next day was Terry's birthday.  We planned on getting back by 11:00 AM, which would be 12:00 MST, so Terry could go into work for 1/2 a day, but we didn't make it.  Instead, we went shopping together for his birthday and Father's Day.  I fixed a complete dinner that evening.  That was something to celebrate since we've been living on healthy snacks every three hours.  By the way, he's a very young 64.  That's kind of a scary number, but we'll get use to it.
