after work on friday the 13th i headed down to eugene thinking it would take +2 hours. to my surprise i was at the henry’s front door in 1.5. they have a new house and have settled in nicely. they have a wonderful back yard and house filled with love and laughter. that night jess, john and i just stayed up chatting over beers while the kids slept. saturday morning i woke up to giggling at 7:30am. (that is a new thing for me. ouch.) thankfully it was laughter and not screaming! we enjoyed breakfast together and headed out for an adventure. downtown has a great saturday market. (that is where most of the photos are taken.) we had such a wonderful time. looking, talking and happy to be alaskans living in oregon. next stop was pizza and belly dancers. it doesn’t get much better than that. dinner was chinese take out with the strangest eggrolls ever. (yuck). that evening we all piled into the kids room and listened to the story jess was reading to all of us. (what a family moment). after they fell asleep i received a wealth of knowledge from john about how to play cribbage. (due to my math skills ((or lack of)) john laughed A LOT!). sunday was low-key. breakfast, making necklaces and saying goodbye until the next visit. i hope to be back very soon. j4… thanks for the family holiday!!

John learned everything he knows about cribbage from me. Make sure you tell him.
