Today I spent a really great day with Anita and Eric. They took me up to Mary's Peak, which is the highest point in the Coast Mountain Range. Then we went to their favorite winery in Philomath (small town not far from Corvallis) and had fun with a blind wine tasting. I failed it miserably (I wouldn't be able to distinguish a French chardonnay from a California chardonnay if a Frenchman and surfer were doing the pouring) but it was great ambience and the owners are really cool.
Had dinner at a vegetarian restaurant (I think I love Corvallis) then Anita and I took a walk around the ag fields at Oregon State Univ. All in all, a great day. Thanks, guys!!
They've only just begun...Eric points out the future homestead he and Anita will be erecting once they've parked the conestoga...
A little quiet time with nature.
What good friends I have, making sure I get a little spliffy on my b-day weekend!
It's hard to see in this picture, but this bookstore had a Harry Potter display in their window. Many of the schoolbooks Harry and his friends would have bought at Flourish and Blotts were displayed--The Monster Book of Monsters (with the necessary bindings!), A History of Magic, some of Guilderoy Lockhart's fanciful yarns, and many more. What a great show!
