Friday in Oregon

Wait, how did I get to be six days behind?  At least it's a mild week here, easy for catching up bit by bit.

But let's do this a little different.  Here, then, is a list of things from last Friday in Oregon, the day before the wedding...

1. A lazy start, but when I got started, I think I looked cute.
   
   
   
2. A drive into Medford with a first stop at Starbucks.
   
   
   
3. A walk around the city downtown. 
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   Some cool old buildings,
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   but not much life, alas.  Big library, though!
   
   
   
4. A drive out to Jacksonville, where we'd had dinner the night before, to poke in a shop or two.
5. Wine tasting after too short a time in Jacksonville's downtown. 
   
   
   
   
   
   Very good food
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   and wine to pair at Parkhurst Winery. 
   
   
   The white asparagus dish was a particular highlight,
   
   
   as were the sablefish bites. 
   
   
   The fava and mint puree with the shrimp was the best of all, though.
   
   
   
6. A party in the hotel lobby for all the wedding guests featuring burgers and brats grilled outside and catering by Peter's aunts.  Meeting everyone was a treat, but Peter in a tiara (with Deb) was the highlight.
   

There.  Not too much editorializing, and really, none needed.  Just look what a gorgeous day it was.  Clearly we enjoyed ourselves the day before Peter's wedding!
