A DECADE OF OREGON

I AM an Oregonian
I have listened to the waterfalls along the Columbia Gorge
I have breathed deeply the air atop Mt. McLoughlin
I have spent money at the Outlets in Lincoln City
I have been tubing on Lake of the Woods.
I have been lost in Fields
I have heard my name called at an OSU graduation ceremony in Corvallis
I have given birth to two boys in the Rogue Valley(naturally I might add)
I have been inspired by the artistry in the Sister's Outdoor Quilt show
I have ridden a quarter horse bareback on a ranch in Arlington
I have geo-cached in Newport
I have tasted Moonstruck Chocolate in Portland
I have seen the wonder and ahh of the fall colors in Klamath Basin
I have toured a pioneer fort in Astoria
I have purchased tulip bulbs in Woodburn
I have enjoyed a ferris wheel ride at the State Fair in Salem
I have been apart of an Univ. of Oregon football halftime show in Eugene
I have smelled the coastal air in Brookings.
I have eaten s'mores around a Fish Lake campfire
I have enjoyed the climate in Grants Pass
