Men Seeking Women

 

Personal ads from the 80's 

No electronic emails then

Only newsprint pages rustling

Heard while riding on the bus 

 

I read "Genuinely nice man"

No mention of "fireside talks"

Or "walks on the beach"

Straight forward honest words

Serendipity.

~~~

Well over 25 years ago we managed

to find each other. We are lucky ducks.

One Lucky California Acorn Woodpecker....

This little woodpecker*** slammed

into one of our front windows as

it was being chased by a local hawk.

Fortunately we heard the "thud"

and went outside to see what had happened... 

Russell held this beautiful bird to keep it warm for about 30 minutes while it regained

it's senses and was able to fly away.

Hopefully it was okay. 

We do love our wildlife.

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!
