Last weekend, on the Saturday, Jo and I took a drive downtown and walked round the Grants Pass shops, stopping occcasionally to admire the bears, which are a feature of the town every summer:
Last Sunday all four of us took a run down to lovely Ashland. We had lunch at the Caldera brewery and a short stroll around the town and through Lithia Park, finishing with ice creams.
Not having a proper camera nowadays, I notice I'm taking far fewer pictures and hence, half the time I can't remember what we've done! I do remember, however, that we had to hunker down for a week of triple digit temperatures, soaring as high as 115 F (46 C) midweek. We had chores to do on Wednesday, which kept us busy and mostly out of the worst of the heat. Braeden had two orthodontist and one dentist appointment, all within a few hours:
We managed to squeeze a nice lunch in at Matsukaze, a local Japanese restaurant, and it was another Japanese restaurant we ended up at for Cade's 17th birthday on Thursday. On this occasion, 7 of us, including girlfriend Avena, travelled to Medford, with the initial plan being Kaleidoscope, but it was way too busy, as was Plan B - MOD Pizza. Jo and I stuck to the tried and tested teriyaki meals at Bonsai, whilst the rest did all sorts of sushi and other exotics.
Lucy doesn't work Fridays so we were able to take Shelby for a bit of exercise on the Limpy Creek trails. A lovely spot and we had a fine hamburger lunch at a local RV park afterwards.
We enjoyed the walk, so decided to repeat it today (Saturday), this time with all 3 dogs on two separate trails at Cathedral Hills:
Note that Scott doesn't have his neck brace on here. He takes it off quite often now, but still has to sleep with it on. However, not long to go now until he will hopefully get the all-clear from the medics.
Cade went away to the coast with his football buddies overnight, and Braeden stayed with a pal too, so we don't see as much of the boys as we used to, but they are sure growing up.
