Dave and I have spent the past few days in Central Oregon visiting my family. Again, I thank you, Dear Readers, for your kind words about My Mom - your emails are a great comfort.
All the children were present last night - which really pleased Mom - but the house was full, so DT and I stayed at a hotel downtown. We checked-in around 11p, but the clerk told us we would have a view to all the snow-covered mountains from our room in the morning. There wasn't a cloud in the sky and we were really excited about our morning vista.



But, we could not see any of the mountains. Bachelor. The Three Sisters. Broken Top. Mt. Jefferson. Nothing.

Before driving home this afternoon, we had a late breakfast/brunch with some of my family at a popular coffee shop in Bend - Jake's Diner. Jake's motto is "Home of the Largest Portions in Central Oregon". Isn't that supposed to be a bad thing now? Not at Jake's. Omelets come Large or Small... but if you are a dainty diner, you can order - by special request - a two egg omelet.



Until my next update, I remain, your well-fed correspondent.
PS: Miss Lisa is feeling/looking better. She actually left her house this evening. Today Lisa says that she looks as if she had "really, really good collagen injections under my eyes".
