August 25, 2013---Eugene Elks Lodge


We ended yesterday with Matt Dillon and started today with Gene Autry.  “Ol’ Tex” is a happy cowboy.  So I’m happy, too!

It was raining this morning.  It is the first rain we have had in quite awhile...and this is Oregon!  Maybe we are setting a record.

We had two errands to go on today.  It was well after lunch time before we left home.  Our first stop was at the Duck Store by the stadium.  I wanted posters for the current football season.  There was a special event yesterday as a kickoff for the 2013-14 sports year...a fan appreciation type of thing.  It was not just for football, but for all sports.  The poster was just football, but the special t-shirts were for the whole program. 

Eugene isn’t the easiest city to get around in, so when we left the stadium area we took a wrong turn and ended up in Springfield, across I-5.  Since we were over there anyway, we decided to have a late lunch at a Chinese buffet.  It has been a favorite place of ours for many years.  The food was good, but probably not as good as we remember.

Not long after we got back home, the rain started again.  It didn’t amount to much, but it sounded nice on the roof of the coach.  It was very peaceful.
