Breakfast with Will and Natalia

Will and Natalia are our house/cat sitters who have showered our beloved cat Picasso with love and care for our last 3 long jaunts across country. We were so happy to be able to meet up with them in Eugene for a long breakfast and gab-fest this morning. They are expecting their first wee one next month so we spent plenty of time congratulating each other on our respective adventures.

And boy do they have our number. I can highly recommend the Hideaway Bakery in South Eugene. Breakfast was delicious, and Gordon and I were unable to escape without purchasing a huge artisan loaf of potato bread baked in their wood-fired oven, a batch of golden brown granola, and we MIGHT have slipped an almond croissant and a tasty pain-aux-raisins into the mix.

And the extra special added bonus was that we were able to sit outside in the SUN!!! We were beginning to worry we'd never see it again.Read more
