| Last
weekend with my niece, Heather, in Eugene was fun - I really loved
getting to play with her and her two cats. I've really missed feline
company since I left Austin. (Oh, yeah, and you, too, Heather... :-)
It just brought back how hard it was giving up my Sunshine when I
first took off and then once I was back in Austin, I was just started
getting to know Keala's two kittens when I left again. So hearing
kitty claws tear across the floor in the middle of the night was a
welcome sound. |

Saturday
was the last day of the market they hold each weekend in Eugene
so we braved the rain and ate Thai food under the tent while listening
to bluegrass music - talk about an eclectic town! On Sunday Heather
gave me a tour of the university campus and showed me one of her
favorite retreats by the river when she attended classes there.
She was disappointed that they had turned her old haunt into a boat
ramp and it was funny to listen to someone so young gripe about
changes that have already taken place in her life in the name of
"progress."

The leaves
have all pretty much abandoned the trees to swirl around in the
streets and although the bright yellows are tinged with brown, it
is still a treat for me who grew up in the south where such sights
are unknown. Sunday we went to the rock and mineral show and like
always when I attend one, I spent too much money. But it was a great
weekend and it was nice to get introduced to such a cute little
town by my cute little niece.
