Love having guests for the night! Prepping potato packets for the grill...

An Atlantic sunset

Speaking of sunsets, I think the Atlantic can do a fine job keeping up with the Pacific.

In the beginning of June, we spent a long weekend at Emerald Isle with a few friends.

At the time, I was reading the book Kate Remembered, a biography of Katherine Hepburn by A. Scott Berg.  It was interesting at first, but I lost interest before I finished it.  I think I would enjoy it more after watching a few Katherine Hepburn movies.

On the last night, we packed up some chairs, a bottle of wine, and fishing gear (for Justin) and headed down to the ocean.

It was beautiful to watch the sun set and the moon rise.  The perfect end to a great trip!

Logging truck

In the Umpqua River Valley of Central Oregon, where logging is a huge industry.

Dinner date at The Vintage

We spent our first evening in Eugene, Oregon enjoying dinner in the front garden at The Vintage. 

Crazy eyes and rosé.

There was a funny yard sale going on across the street.  A yard sale on a Wednesday night at 7pm... guess Eugene is just a yard sale kind of place.  

I wanted to buy a little collection of heavy brass ducks that I saw for $7, but I second-guessed the purchase and didn't get them.  Now I am so mad I didn't!  It would have been the perfect souvenir from Eugene, home of the Oregon Ducks.
