Jacksonville Visit


My darling daughter, Kate, gave me the gift of helping me 
drive up to Jacksonville, Oregon to visit friends. 
I lived there for 8 years and made many good friends. 

We spent 4 days visiting and generally
enjoying this wonderful small town 
in the Rogue Valley.


We stayed with Shirley.
She had just had a local artist deliver
this wonderful poppy sculpture as 
we arrived. It was very celebratory!



Shirley is on the left and the artist is on the right. 
The Poppies are so much fun.



Shirley brought home this little fish recently.
This is her first "pet " for awhile.
She named it "Sami", as he is a fighting fish.
Sami for Samurai.

How nice to get to take the trip and visit with old friends! Nice sketches too.
