Bend and Klamath Falls

So, here is run down of my trip so far:

Monday afternoon I drove to Sisters and it was wet but no snow or ice so a nice easy drive. (Actually getting on the road was a little challenging but I made it. I came into work late as most of you know because I was packing Monday morning, once I got to the office the craziness of visitors, phone calls and people coming into my office ensued and kept me from getting some things done I had planned so I left later than I meant to from work. I also forgot something at home so had to run back to my apartment which in the opposite direction. I had a bowl of quinoa in hand and in my haste rushing to get on the road I dropped that bowl all over my carpet so had to clean that up before I left as well. I have come the realization that I am actually quite a klutz sometimes.) I got to stay the night with Seth and Jenni Burke and it was so nice to catch up with them and see Jenni:) I always enjoy visiting Sisters it nice quiet, cute town and they have gluten free bakery!

Tuesday I got up stopped by the gluten free bakery for coffee and some pastries and headed to Bend. Again no snow so nice easy drive. The fair was a little slow but I was sitting by Dot from Fox so we chatted a bunch. From there I stopped by Cafe Yum in the Old Mill District and had a yummy gluten free meal:) I also stopped by Thump in Bend for some Stump Town Coffee before hitting the road. I know I know, you're all jealous and yes it was as good as it always it:) Again a nice easy snow free drive, I'm very thankful for that and made good time. I stayed with Ben and Barb Cornelius in Klamath Falls so had a nice home cooked meal and chatted with them last night. I had planned to do some work but they live way out of town so no Internet access. I did however spend some time working on my Greek homework. So right now I am sitting at my booth at Klamath Community College. Its a very tiny school and when I drove up I wasn't sure this was it since there are only like two building. However, I have been pleasantly surprised by the response, its slow now but I have actually talked to a lot of people, way more than at COCC. So, this random little college might be work it:)

After this I head to Medford so hopefully I will avoid snow again. I'll update more later!

  1. Yay Courtney! I'm glad to hear of all the food fumbling, friends,and free-of-gluten fests.

    Nothing too exciting here in the office. Although, my sister came in and chatted today...twice which made Jordi very happy since she's an only child. I also had a fairly deep conversation with Natalie about women's role in teaching (in the context of a college capmus vs. an actual church), just got back from lunch with a transfer, and I currently see Matthew Ogard walking across the sky bridge. =)

    Keep on having fun, resting, and working hard!

  2. Blast! I just realized I wrote "capmus" instead of "campus"! =/
