Farewell Eugene, Oregon

Today, one of the loveliest days yet in Eugene this spring, is our final day in the great, green, duck-phile, fabulous NW. We each arrived in Eugene more than 12 years ago, at very different places in our lives, and without any knowledge of the other (despite nearly moving into the SAME apartment complex in 1998!). Today, as we make our final preparations to drive off into the wild blue yonder, very much together, we believe ourselves to be finer, happier, transformed versions of our formal selves. We leave Eugene thankful for the countless lessons received, grateful for the abundance, opportunities and blessings. And, as we look around at our empty home and our packed bags we are eager to begin our next journey, together.

We received several pictures of our new little apartment in Boston today. The remodel has proved a great success and we are over-joyed knowing that our destination is such a lovely space. What are your thoughts?




Already we are thinking of where our favorite items will be showcased (large red plate on mantel, bookcase or hutch? Colored plates in hutch or pantry? ). We are also delighted to know that our space is cozy and completely comfortable for guests. So get those tickets and make your reservations for a visit to the McJabney Inn where the coffee is hot, the wine flows in dark rich rivers of Merlot and we will always welcome you with open arms.

Posts from the road are soon to come. First stop, Twin Falls, ID. Okay, this will be nowhere near our ‘first’ stop….after all; Macy and I will be in the car. I bet you can’t guess a) how many stops we make before arriving in Twin Falls, or b) where we actually make that ‘first’ stop (Springfield is not out of the question, nor is that Starbucks driving out of Eugene). But it will be our first night stop.

Currently accepting suggestions for witty, snappy and catchy names for our cross country trip. Make suggestions and see what we choose.
