Eugene visits

You know those best friends that will jump into unheated swimming pools with you in the middle of January at 3 am? Terry and I have one in my other other favorite place to live: Eugene, Oregon.

Terry and Joel sharing a candle-lit dinner - winter 2010:

Every couple of months we make the trip down to Eugene or Joel will come and visit us in Bellingham. We visited on our way back from Florida (last January - the pool incident), again in May, and the night after my GRE test in August.

Our May trip:

In August, I was so grateful for the warm weather, good company, and Ninkasi.

Of course, I wasn't allowed to sit next to Terry, Joel had already claimed him.
