Last full day in Ashland

8:20PM

The plan originally had been to leave Ashland yesterday, but the mail I was expecting from home didn't get here on Monday or Tuesday so I extended my stay another day.  I thought, for sure, it would be here today; late this afternoon, when it hadn't arrived, I drove to the Post Office in town and was told that I'd have to talk with a supervisor tomorrow morning to see if I might be able to intercept it before it goes out with the postal carrier because he doesn't get to this RV park until later in the afternoon.  So, I may be paying for two RV sites again tomorrow.  

So, today I took a few more lovely photos of this beautiful country that's called Southern Oregon ....

This was taken from a gas station close in to downtown.  What a beautiful back-drop for a wonderful city.  And, check out those magnificent clouds.

Turning just to my right from the above angle, I took a telephoto shot of this lovely rock formation.  It's probably about 5 miles away as the crow flies

My neighbor, CC, and I went in to Ashland this noon for lunch at Ruby's.  We each ordered a Ruben sandwich and we both liked them.  A cute little lunch spot, we opted to eat indoors as it was once again close to 90 outside.  This evening these clouds have taken on a little moisture so we may have a rain shower before morning.

This CC's cat, named Bohdi (or is it Bodhi? - not sure);  he's half Siamese and half Rag-Doll.  What a beautiful cat and he's quite the trooper, liking to walk on a leash to check out new areas.  He's five years old and very mellow.

Here's another photo of Bohdi/Bodhi; unfortunately after taking several shots I realized the crystal clear blue of his eyes is not going to show up in the pix.  They are gorgeous.

Bodhi is one great cat.  Lacy has made friends with him, and, of course, with his brother, Tucker, whose photo was in my blog a couple of days ago.  Beautiful, handsome, well-behaved, quiet, secure, friendly, inquisitive, what more could one want?  CC and I agree that our pets are very important  to us.  Lacy has played better with Tucker than any other dog since Bella died.

Bella October 4, 2005 - November 8, 2012

I still miss her terribly.
