Hard to be Back

Jeep at Pilot Butte

I had the best intentions of trying to blog while we were in Bend, but it was just so lovely there...and I didn't even have the slightest itch to pull out my laptop.  So I didn't.  We had a lovely time, and did take some pictures.  I'll try to work on getting some of those up in the next few days.  I think right now I'm just missing it too much.  Did I mention we had a really lovely time?

Almost Home

So the work part of my weekend is over.  Today was the last day of our retreat.  All that remains is the group dinner at La Rosa, and then tomorrow morning we will be heading back home to our dreamy bed and our fuzzy cat.  I miss that fuzzy cat.

The meetings have been good, and I'm glad I was able to be a part of them this year.  I feel like I came away with a better knowledge of what needs to be done moving forward, and some things that I would like to do/work on to help the firm progress technologically.  Last night we had a group dinner at Merenda.  It was First Friday in Bend (all the business were open and doing everything they could to draw people in, there was local art and music around every corner) so down town was kind of crowded.  The dinner was very good.  There was good wine, and yummy chocolate cake at the end.  I'm sure tonight will be fun, there is a margarita (or two) in my future.

Where Are We Now?

David and I are just the busy little travelers.  Just as we recover from our whirlwind trip to Nebraska we find ourselves in Bend.  I have a work related function here the next few days and David kindly agreed to accompany me.  We are staying at the lovely Mt. Bachelor Village Resort.  Puppy is staying home and holding down the fort for us while we are away.  We just had a find Bacon Blue Cheese burger at the Deschutes Brewery and now as I digest my lovely meal I am thinking about the cookies we brought.  I am such a chocoholic!  Tomorrow means an all day meeting, but at least I get to enjoy my evening with my sweetie.
