Trisha and I had visited the area near Bend, Oregon way back in 1992 and I never forgot the beauty of the mountains and high desert. So for a 65th birthday celebration we decided to spend a few days in a rented home at the Sunriver Resort just south of Bend. The drive from North Bend was a little tedious but the time went fast. We checked out the rental: a very nice two-bedroom unit overlooking the ninth fairway of the Resort’s Meadows golf course. One of the first scenes awaiting us was several families of geese with their young in the small wetlands just off the back deck. We made a quick trip to Whole Foods to pick up a dinner and by 8:30 or so we were sipping a local rosé wine and admiring the sun setting behind Mt. Bachelor and the adjacent Cascade peaks. Life it good, even as birthday 65 nears.
