Visit Bend. Twist my arm! The mercury is climbing and 80° sounds better by the minute.
We’re planning an adventure in the Northwest to visit our sons and their families, taste some new coffee, and deliver a crib Mike made for our grandbaby. This will be a family heirloom someday. What a treasure!
We plan to check out new restaurants, galleries, the Farmer’s Market and the Deschutes River trails. We’ll photograph the landscape and imagine new copper and glass designs.
Everyone needs an adventure now and then, and ours seem to be few and far between. Sometimes venturing into the unknown can inspire new creativity. Challenge the senses. Cement values.
Yep, that’s what we’re looking for, and it won’t hurt to be cooler for a few days either.
This grandma & grandpa are ready for an adventure.
How are you winding down your Summer? Are you looking for inspiration or just taking some time to breathe deep? Let us know in the comments below, we look forward to hearing from you.



I am jealous of all your adventures! And that crib is a masterpiece. Anyway get it into my hands? :) I can’t wait to see what comes of your latest excursion!
Thanks Lena,
We hope our boys pass the crib around and around and around!
