Wednesday, June 21st, 2017….. We must have had a good rest last
night because we both got up earlier than usual this morning. So we got ready and left to head north to
spend the day in Salem. We decided to drive
through Lebanon on the way and even though we stayed away from the house, we
wanted to find a good breakfast place close to the new house. We found Appletree Restaurant about a mile
down the road from Oak Creek Way. It was
really good and I liked their gravy. Afterward, we drove the 36 miles to Salem
and located the shopping malls and larger box stores plus we found the
emergency room/hospital for future reference.
We stopped at Kmart and then drove back through Lebanon to locate
another rv park I found online. It’s a
smaller park, with only 21 sites and will be full from now through the holiday,
but we made note of it as it’s only a few miles from our house. It’s called
Gills Landing and it’s right on the Santiam River with nice sites and good
rates.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO US! 49 years! We didn’t do anything until
late morning when we headed off to visit the Owen Rose Garden in Eugene. It was
not very big nor was it well maintained (guess they don’t get enough
volunteers) but it was pretty.
After that we
decided to go find the local square dance hall around Eugene. It’s actually in Springfield but the two
cities pretty much touch other.
We might
decide to go visit one night before we move north. We looked into either a brewery or a nice
Italian place for our anniversary dinner.
Lydia found Plank Town Brewing on the web and it had good reviews so we
went there. It was early so it wasn’t
crowded. We hadn’t eaten lunch but
neither of us wanted a big dinner. Lydia
chose a cheeseburger and I had the Apple and Pork Dip sandwich w/apple and
swiss cheese on ciabatta w/beer cheese jus. It was REALLY good! House beer was
Plankster Pale Lager and I liked that as well.
Afterward, we made our way back home but we made a stop (more of a drive
by) to a John Deere store to scope out the lawnmowers. I’m still having dreams about mowing that
property! Once we got home, Lydia called the kids and told them that we are
putting money into Jeff’s checking account as our wedding gift to them. That way they can plan out what they want to
do with it. Later, we stayed up late and had a nice time together watching tv.
Oh no, I missed your anniversary! Sounds like you had a great one. Any word on a closing date yet?
