Enjoying Local Tourism
It was gray and overcast and cool to start the day. At 10:30 a.m. it was still just 61 degrees. But at some point in the afternoon, the sky turned blue and the sun was shining brightly. From the morning low of 55 degrees, it rose to a high of just 74 today.
My blood sugar was up a couple more points, to 178. Not a terrible number, but there are plenty of better ones.
After finishing our coffee and the Saturday edition of brain games, we had slices of Kathleen’s banana bread for “breakfast.”
A little while later, Kathleen and Ronin showed up to mow and trim the yard. Nancy went back to their place and came home with a baby watermelon plant and a new rod to hold tomato vines.
Before noon, Nancy and I took off for the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art on the UO campus. The main current exhibition is about Himalayan art and features religious art created from the 13th through the 21st centuries in Tibet, Nepal, China, and Mongolia. Sections include “Symbols and Meaning,” “Materials and Technology,” and “Living Practices.” There were other displays, including a collection of photos by Diane Arbus.
When we finished our viewing, we had lunch at the new Mandy’s location near the campus. The menu is exactly the same as the original Mandy’s, and their rendering of the food was very good. I had the Saturday Market Benedict with ham. Nancy got the T-Bird Melt with fries. The place was not crowded when we got there, thank goodness.
Our next stop for the afternoon was the Shelton McMurphey Johnson House near downtown Eugene. It’s a Victorian-era residence listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is named for the three families who called it home over the years. The two-story Queen Anne-styled house is a recognizable city structure due to its high decorative carved wood, large circular tower, and green exterior paint and trim. It sits on the southern edge of Skinner Butte.
We had wanted to stop by Prince Puckler’s on the way home, but we were still feeling full after our lunch, so we came home and napped.
When Nancy got up, she went out and worked on the yard, watering the front and back, and checking out the garden boxes. I worked on my Flickr account and other social media.
We had fudgesicles when she came back in. Then I went out to walk around the neighborhood and put in 1.97 miles in just under 44 minutes, a total of 4,600 steps.
Once I made it back, we both sat out back in the shade while Nancy had a glass of wine. Then we came back in and had a protein shake for “dinner.”
Our streaming entertainment for the evening consisted of the final two episodes of the “Resident Alien” series, which ended happily, with a lot of emotional discussion about love among the peoples of the earth. Happily, that’s not an entirely fictional aspect.
It looks like we will see more sunshine tomorrow than we did today, with the low tonight dropping to 48 degrees, and the high tomorrow reaching almost to 80.
Tomorrow is the Fourth Sunday after Pentecost, and our church friend John will be singing a song of his own making during the service. The choir has concluded its season, and the music director is setting up “summer stock” to fill in. She has even asked me to perform something. I have yet to agree.
The Sunday evening recovery meeting is one other thing on my calendar, but we don’t have anything else scheduled at this point.

On this day in 1975, the film “Jaws” was released in the United States, becoming the highest-grossing film at the time and starting the trend of films known as “summer blockbusters.”
June 20, 1847, was the birth date of Gina Krog, a Norwegian suffragist, teacher, liberal politician, writer and editor, and a major figure in liberal feminism in Scandinavia.
