The Renaissance Man and I are celebrating our one year anniversary today! It’s hard to believe that a year ago today I was nervously getting ready to walk down the isle and marry my partner in life. What a year it has been! Many thanks to the wonderful people who celebrated with us and who inspire us.
This past weekend The Renaissance Man was asked to give a presentation for The Native Fish Society as part of the 2014 River Stewards Retreat at Camp Westwind on the Oregon Coast. It was a fantastic event, and I was lucky enough to tag along for the adventure. Camp Westwind is located just north of Lincoln City in the Cascade Head Scenic Research Area.
Last weekend a friend of mine shot me a text message asking if I’d be interested in spending Sunday afternoon at Bergström Wines. At first I was overwhelmed thinking about all the things I needed to finish up over the weekend and then I realized what I really needed was to go share a glass of wine with a friend.
We’ve been having one of the driest summers on record, and the weather on Sunday was absolutely stunning! Not a cloud in the sky. We grabbed a table on the veranda, and enjoyed the views while keeping cool under the shade of a leafy wisteria.
I don’t think you can really beat waking up to the smell of bacon. Now I’m not a huge bacon fan, but that smell just makes you want to roll out of bed and head into the kitchen to see what’s cooking. So on a Tuesday morning, as I was struggling to reach out of bed and turn off my alarm, I realized that bacon was cooking and quickly got excited to see what else was on the menu!
Every once in a while The Renaissance Man transforms an ordinary weekday morning into a special occasion that you end up talking about of the rest of the week. Yes, I know, I’m one lucky gal!
