Evil twin vanquished

Thanks to my (Russ) superior technical skills, I have re-gained control of this blog from Scrooge McDuck. Russ  will now continue with his regular coverage.

It’s been cold and foggy here in Eugene, lately.

We decided it would be good to warm up at our favorite breakfast place.

Sue & Doug might recognize this restaurant, since we met them here for breakfast when they came through Eugene this year. It was lots warmer then, however!
And, that’s not their Jeep.

Donna made me pose in front, so she could get a shot of my new haircut, but I fooled her, and didn’t take off my stocking cap…too cold!  We wanted to hurry inside and get some nice warm coffee cups in our freezing cold hands.
P1020605       Donna has her Holiday Finery on and looks very festive. She’s in full bore “Getting Ready For The Grandkids” mode right now, and this was a nice break for her. Notice, she still won’t let me take a picture of her hair before she gets it cut. She’s worse than I am.

This is one of our favorite waitresses wearing her Christmas Hat complete with blinking lights. She was in a commercial for the restaurant that was aired during the final Oregon Ducks football game of the season. This place is near campus and very UofO oriented in all respects.

Donna loves breakfast here better than anywhere else! She felt much better after having a great breakfast of bacon, eggs and pancakes (the ketchup was only for me).She really missed having their great pancakes.

Our grand daughter Emmie came over to show us her yellow belt in martial arts……. now she can REALLY beat grandpa at marbles…

No matter how hard I try, I'm still loosing all my marbles!  


 
Thought this was a sign of warmer weather to come, 
but it’s NOT!

 Well, I better wrap this up for you, so have a wonderful day, and we’ll get some more good stuff soon.

  2. It's been really cold here too! We were going to do some work on the Alfa last night (replace an air filter) but it was way too cold out. Hope things will warm up for us and for you this weekend.

  6. Good thing Scrooge McDuck didn't show up at the Pancake House--he would have been banished.

  7. Glad to see that you are back in control Russ. Congratulations to Emmie on getting her yellow belt. Looks like a good breakfast spot that's some serious bacon slices. Have a great day and stay warm.

  10. Great post Russ!

    We all know having 'control' at our age is nothing to sneeze at.

    Now I know what 'multi taksing' really means. ;))
