Guanajuato y Ashland

Ashland, Oregon’s sister city is Guanajuato, in Guanajuato state in Mexico. They are the reason I have Pedro in my life.

Ziplining in Rogue Valley

Next in the Pedro-likes-thrills series is ziplining in southern Oregon last month.

Pedro and I took a hot air balloon ride across the valley.

The more you look, the more there is to see at McMenamins Edgefield.

The McMenamins family brought craft brewing to Portland and established a beer culture here.

Bonnie’s hike gave me the boost I needed to get outside and do my own hike.

On our last day at the beach, we played in the sunshine.

Tara introduced me to the darling little Pacific coastal town of Newport, Oregon.

Who knew earthquakes are what crafted so much beauty?

When it rains too much to work in the yard, I am forced to do other things, like catch up on overdue blog posts.
