Overnight trips again

The Deschutes River near downtown Bend, July 26.
        Friday night was the first time since September 2019 that I’ve slept overnight somewhere other than in our bed. Nearly six years! The pandemic put the initial cramp in my style. We’d been used to taking a least 3-4 trips a year with overnight stays, and then in 2020 I started staying home with the kitties when Mrs. R would go visit her family in Bend. But this last weekend they had a family reunion / memorial for her mom, who passed away in the spring. So we had a friend feed our cats and I made the bold step of coming along! It was quite fun, and I’m glad I did it. There was a psychological hurdle to get past, for sure. But now I’m good for overnight trips again, which is good because we’ve got one coming up in a couple months to go see Sparks perform in Portland!!
