Juneau Fall Classic

Greetings from Redmond, Oregon, home of the Juneau Golf Club 2008 Fall Classic.

We drove up from Portland on Sunday morning - a beautiful drive past Mt. Hood and up into the high desert. The weather was, and remains, near perfect. The previous evening we had supper with Jane, John, Terry, and Jim at a neighborhood Italian restaurant in Sellwood. It was on par with the best food downtown and the last in a series of outstanding Portland meals. Bet I gained a few pounds in Portland.

Alison helped man the tournament registration table on Sunday afternoon and Dougie and I went grocery shopping and got us checked-in to the condo. The units are very nice with two bedrooms, a full kitchen and nice deck. Alison cooked steaks on Sunday.

Yesterday we played a scramble. It was quite fun although I don't know that I contributed too much to our team effort. We finished at even par and the winning team was 7 under. In about an hour and a half we tee-off on the first of our three round tournament. There are about 90 participants. This evening we have a BBQ at the Clubhouse for all participants. Laura Beason is the tournament organizer and so far she seems quite pleased with everything...
Supper at Paley's Place with the Snowdens. Good eats and good company.
More food! Dining under the moon and stars on the patio at Lovely Hula Hands.

Street theater in Portland. Elvis - the party years.

Stay tuned for more pics from Portland and Redmond. I'm going to eat my Wheaties and go play golf!
