It's Awww Monday! September 21, 2015

Our Awesome Day...
Yesterday we drove up to Jacksonville   
which is close to Ashland Oregon.
I had signed us up for an afternoon
of wine tasting. Here are a few photos:
 
There were several Trolley buses
that shuttled us from winery to winery....
 
The Daisy Creek winery was especially
pleasant with a grape arbor and lamas
nearby. They raise the lamas for
the wool and I bet the fertilizer helps
grow all the luscious grapes.
 

This lama was especially friendly as
I was feeding him fallen apples
from their orchard.
 
 
There were also oodles of different butterflies.
 
 
After touring 5 wineries we opted
to get a bite to eat at Deja Vu .
 
 
Fred insisted on joining us....
 
 
Needless to say we had to tuck him
into bed once we got to our B and B!
We stayed at The Bybee Historic Inn .
It was only a little bit out of town and
was a beautiful place to stay. It was
incredibly gorgeous and was built in 1857.
Two years before Oregon became a state!

Saturday Six Words and Sunday Shadow Shots! July 25-26, 2015



One last day before going home...
 
 
Fred kept me company every morning
at the grocery store nearby that has Wi-Fi! There wasn't any where we were staying ....
 
 
 
Fred joined us for lunch at our
most favorite NW Portland restaurant!
 
Molto delizioso!!!
 

 
Close your eyes, inhale and you are in Italy!
 
 
This morning Minnie kissed Fred goodbye...

 
 
 
 
In a few hours we'll be home....
it's always fun to travel, but there
truly is no place like home.
Have a great weekend!
