Three Beautiful Things 10-12-2023: Breakfast at/on The Oregon Trail, Solitude and Relaxation, Beers and a Little Whiskey

1. All six of us piled into rigs and drove east on I-84, took the Meacham exit, and wound our way to the Oregon Trail Store and Deli. Every time we come to the Wildhorse Resort, we blast up to this place either for breakfast or lunch. This joint is run by a couple -- he works the floor, she cooks, (she's a superb cook) and we were all very happy with our food -- we had a great time together and Terry and Lars took off after we ate, ending their time on our twice a year outing.

2. I relaxed in my room for several hours after breakfast. I blogged. I had some catching up to do on New York Times crossword puzzles. I napped some. I enjoyed slowing things down, doing some of my normal routines, and having some time to myself.

3. Jake, Mike, Ed, and I met later in the afternoon for beers in the sports bar and then the hotel lobby bar. Later, I grabbed a delicious Cuban sandwich at the deli on the casino floor and, not long after that, Ed and Mike came to my room for a taste or two of Pendleton 1910 Rye Whiskey. We'd all had a good day, each in our own way, and it was fun just to yak for a while to end the day.
