2013 June 13 – 16 Bend, OR

Arrived at the Bend, Elks around 4 PM and got set up.  Hurried to Art, Vikki and Terry’s home (cousins) for happy hour, a couple of games of pool and a delicious pork chop dinner.  So great to see them again – it’s been 4 yrs.

Friday, June 14, we picked up beer and pizza for the guys and took it for Jerry, Art and Terry.  Vikki and I joined 8 other gals for delicious Mexican dinner at Amanda’s and then to The Stone Church for a Beatles Singalong!  It was a fundraiser for their local public broadcasting station.  Several bands played Beatles music and all sang along.  Great people watching event! 

On Saturday, I took advantage of their hot tub in the morning, then we went to Costco for some supplies and to a few garage sales.  After lunch we did some gardening – plants inside some bird cages to hang from the trees in their back yard.  Fun.  Home for a bit to change, then to their next door neighbors for a great happy hour/bbq.  Great food, I played “ladder ropes?” for the first time and even made one ringer.  Thanks Bonnie and Gary for inviting us!

Sunday, Father’s Day, Jerry chose to do a motorcycle ride.  Pictures below tell that story.  Are we going to get wet?

High desert scenery.  Bend is 3500+ feet.

The crooked river has cut quite a swath through the hills.

Escaped the rain with a minimum of sprinkles!

A few wildflowers poke through the dry ground.

 Jerry chose The Bend Brewery for Father’s Day dinner.  We ate on the patio, great micro brew, Old Outback Ale, J had huge burger and onion rings and I had the fresh fish tacos with pineapple salsa and black beans.  All was yummy!
