Geez! I'm such a slacker! It's been a while since I posted.....lots going on.....We're very comfortable in our summer home in Salem....I'm having trouble getting the pics from my phone onto my computer so I'll have to post those later.....until I do, just visualize rivers, fields and forests....and wineries!
Celebrated my birthday with brunch, lunch, casino and dinner....an all day event! Had a great time except that apparently the casino did not recognize the importance of the day!!
Met some of the neighbors....folks from Colorado.....she makes jewelry and he does woodcarving. They told me about the senior center.....I know....I'm wa-a-a-a-ay too young for senior centers....but I thought I'd take a look....signed up for a yoga class (Natalie, Melodie, are you reading this?)....and a lapidary class....very excited!
The Salem UU Church is only 8 miles away so I've been going to services there....The minister, Reverend Rick, will be gone for the rest of the summer so they'll have different guest and member speakers. And speaking of UU....General Assembly is in Portland next year....Dean and I were already talking about coming back here anyway.....getting to go to GA would be an added bonus!
This area is very health and fitness oriented....lots of walking trails.....and other outdoorsy stuff! Not my thing but it is kind of cool to be around it! There are farmers markets all over the place and we have a fruit and veggie stand just down the road from the park.....almost everything is locally grown! We go over there every couple of days to see what came in and get it fresh....yum!!!! Waiting for the peach season.....the guy in the stand says Oregon peaches are wa-a-a-a-ay better than Georgia's.....the season starts in 2 weeks....will let you all know our opinion. I hate to admit it but the strawberries give Plant City some competition!
Until next time.........
Namaste,
Tobi
