My cousin Carol and her husband John have spent the past two years in Vietnam where John has set up an R&D operation for his company. Luckily, they are now home (for awhile anyway), and we were fortunate to spend a few days with them at their home in Eugene. Getting to know Carol again has been like reconnecting with a long, lost friend. We took lots of hikes, drove out to Mapleton where they have a home on a river, picked blackberries from John's kayak and laughed and reminisced. It was wonderful!
The first day we were in Eugene, Carol and I drove up to Salem to have lunch with my cousin Meg. We also visited their dad, my Uncle Jack. Though he's in his 90's, he still has a twinkle in his eye and a great smile.
Gene finally found a place to buy Oregon peaches! And corn. And green beans. And . . .
Carol, John and Gene.
Sue and Carol. We look like cousins, don't we?!
