Autumn Fun in Oregon

By nine a.m Matt, Jason and I were on our way to to Grant's Pass and the Josephine County Gun Show. Fortified with Dutch Brothers Coffee courtesy of Matt, we got freebie admission to the show because Matt's Security business was doing the security and the show manager stamped us and waved us through. I fancied a little pistol and Matt was able to obtain it immediately by virtue of his concealed weapons permit. On the way over he played cops and robbers-leaving me in his dust, then suddenly appearing in my rear view mirror. Dutifully checking in with the "wimmen-folk" afterward, we learned we were due at Harry and David's for the pumpking weighing contest and a photo-opportunity in 30 minutes. We made it. Tasted several varieties of wine served by a striking tattooed lady. Because Cheryl is in charge of all of Harry and David's Cell Phones, we helped her shop (more wine!) using her employee discount. We had grilled sausages with apple and vidalia onion sauce and Italian sodas for lunch. Very tasty. We think Audrey is going through a growth spurt because that three year old can eat! Then we took pictures.

Eve and Jason and Lori headed for Ashland, another winery tour, and massages, Eve's treat, at a spa she favors. We collected there at the Kat Wok, an Asian-fusion cuisine restaurant. By virtue of Matt doing their security, he knows what is good and we had an amazing array of sushi, prawns, ribs, steak, sauteed veggies, veggies tempura, jasmine rice, miso soup and shared a piece of deep fried cheesecake. Decadent. By virtue of Jason arriving first, my money was no good. It was drizzling when we left: I-5 Traffic was sane for a change. A great day! Buster was good as gold in all our wanderings. He has been enjoying rare bones, from the pork roast Happi fixed.
