Yesterday Linda and I took a ride out Old Stage Road to Jacksonville. A fun
town! We shopped, laughed, and had a good time.
Stopped at the Jacksonville Inn for lunch.
Linda had the salad with lemon dressing (got the recipe!) and a honey
butternut squash soup that she raved about~
I had the frittata and a salad. OMGOOOOD!!!!
Corn, black beans, green onions, creamy and nummy!
Our waiter, Micah, is a "born in Texas" and a former Marine guy. Super nice
and friendly. We had fun chatting with him.
*****************************************************
President and Mrs. Bush stayed there a few years ago in one of the Inn's
cottages... this from the Mailtribune:
The coffee pot was still hot Wednesday morning in the Latourette Cottage when Jacksonville Inn owner Jerry Evans took a look at where President George Bush and his wife had just spent the night.
They were the most pleasant, accommodating, polite people,
he said.
He gets up at 5:30, reading five or six newspapers, Evans
said, pointing to a stack of newspapers sitting on the coffee table.
The Bushes had dinner Thursday night in the patio area
behind the Jacksonville Inn, with Bush ordering the portabello mushroom filet
and his wife the salmon.
The last time a sitting president stayed in Jacksonville
was in 1880, when Rutherford B. Hayes spent the night at the U.S. Hotel.
However, George W. Bush's father stayed at the inn when he was vice president,
Evans said.
Early Friday morning, about 100 people lined the streets of
Jacksonville to say goodbye to the president and first lady.
Jacksonville resident Tom Moeller got a brief glimpse of
Laura Bush, who was waving behind the bullet-proof glass of the Bushes'
limousine.
After a two-hour wait in the chilly morning, Moeller said,
That was worth it.
His wife, Carol Moeller, held a sign that said, God bless
President and Mrs. Bush.
****************************************************
The ride back was the back roads on Hwy 238 that comes
through a lot of the winery area, lots of tasting rooms, and then out through
Murphy and back to Grants Pass. The sky was beautiful and cloud formations so
interesting...
Back in GP we stopped at my Brian's office, Mr. State
Farm, and saw his new ride... Beautiful truck, Bri! xo
Home, wine, TV, and dinner .... which was my marinara
sauce, fresh diced tomatoes, sliced mushrooms, can of cream of mushroom soup,
fresh basil, and artichoke ravioli (Trader Joe's!).... We put on the movie
"Darling Companion" with Diane Keaton (my nieces former babysitter!) and Kevin
Kline. A good movie with a happy ending!
Linda left about 9 this morning on her way back home.
I have a bone to pick with the post office as I had a
notice for a package... went there just after 9 to pick it up. The post office
USED to be open til 11 for will call package pick up on Saturday. NOT ANY MORE!
Not open on Saturdays at all! I'm writing the Post Master General, Mr. Donohoe.
Stand by dude! I'm pissed! This Rogue River post office has the WORST service of
any I have had to ever deal with! What do people do who work til 5 and by then
the PO is closed... and no will call on Saturdays????
Ok, off the

September 28th
National
Good Neighbor Day
Ah, Good Neighbor
Day. It's definitely a good thing. Being good neighbors is an important part of
the social fiber that makes this country so great. Therefore, it seems only
fitting that one day a year honors good neighbors. This day is to truly
recognize and appreciate your good neighbor. Hopefully, one of those good
neighbors is you!
and......Ask A Stupid Question Day
It's your opportunity to speak up, and to ask all those questions you were afraid to ask. All those questions that you thought were too stupid or dumb to ask, have been piling up all year long. Today is the day to unload them. C'mon give it a try. Nobody will laugh......we hope. This may be a stupid question, but I will ask it anyway...... Teachers say
there is no such thing as a stupid question. Or, that no question is too stupid
to ask. If this is true, then why do your classmates laugh when you ask a
question? Yes, kids can be cruel. But, if you have a question, there's no
better place to ask, than in the classroom.
and.....Strawberry Cream Pie Day
and.....Drink Beer Day

I wondered if you liked that movie? That food looks so darn good! I bet you will miss Linda! Love t&g
Yes, I do miss Linda... and asked her to stay longer, but she commented, "like fish, 3 days!" LOL
"National Good Neighbor Day"
Have to take this opportunity Sue, to say something you surely know and I have observed. I have always been impressed by the connection you have with people from you distant past. My sister-in-law once said to me that you have to be a good friend in order to have friends. You are an example of that philosophy.. Mike..
Awwwww Mike. So sweet of you to say that!!! I do value my friends, old and new. xoxo
Oh I loved reading about GW and Laura staying there and the details! Everyone I have ever heard speak of having dealt with them in any way say the same thing about how down to earth and wonderful people they are. Same thing for his father and Barb.
You find the most adorable places to eat! Love those kinds of dishes because they make the food look so darn delicious which I am sure it was. Yours looked like a pizza. Not a good thing to see right now when I am hungry! :)
Brian's new ride is beautiful. John makes noises about getting a new one but then he keeps getting it fixed when something goes wrong.
Hope it doesn't rain on Tucker's party! Have fun!!
Oh I heard where the post offices were going to stop delivering mail on Saturdays. Yea, will call open on Saturdays would be nice!
XO Trisha
I knew a lot of you would enjoy the story about GW and Laura. When they left the cottage, there was GW's favorite breakfast cereal still on the table.. Honey Bunches of Oats!!! His photo is hanging inside the Jacksonville Inn. Thumbs up to the owner, Jerry Evans! xo
I too loved the story about the Jacksonville Inn and the Bushes. I had to check out the Inn as a possible destination place. Beautiful area.
Thanks Sue
LOL- Beer and Strawberry Cream Pie on the same day sounds downright frightening.
Love the pictures and story of the little town you visited.
