Today in Eugene, we spent pretty much at home. After a super breakfast of french toast, courtesy of Chef Gil, we proceeded to finish the projects that we had started yesterday. Deb and Neal tackled cleaning the basement, which was a disaster of cement dust after Neal's use of the cement saw yesterday. We spent about 4 hours with rags and vacuum cleaner, cleaning her, fortunately, small basement area, and getting it back to functional level. Too bad none of us thought about the cement dust issue before he set to work. We had not done anything to protect the washing machine, dryer, small food pantry, old school projects, storage down there. Sigh. Live and learn.
Meanwhile,R and G made 3 trips to a local organic composting joint to get rid of all of the pland/yard debris from our yard work/ planting that we did yesterday.
Then we had a good afternoon--hanging-- well R. really was working- grading an exam for her students -
Neal read learnedly, with a little help from Tellulah-
Deb read and slept, but no one else thought to take a picture....
Nitro sat around looking beatuiful
And, then we went out to a great Italian Dinner, followed by an even better strawberry/ rhubarb pie that Gil had made this afternoon. Very yummy- may have to have some for breakfast as well:
That about sums up our day- very relaxing. It was, also, very beautiful today- blue sky, and in the high 50s- almost warm. We are relaxed and feeling about as ready as we will ever be to return to DC and leap back into things. We fly home tomorrow, so this will be the end for now- tune in about May 17, when we travel again for about 10 days to see Sarah in Arizona and then Neal's sibs in Idaho, for more fun and adventure.
Love to you all. Deb and Neal
