After our hike on Saturday, Larry and I decided to visit Sisters. Sisters is approximately 20 minutes west of Bend on Highway 20. It's a quaint town that we discovered on our Oregon drive tour in 2003, thanks to John Lee's recommendation. Here are the peaks you can see along the drive, coincidentally called Sisters (North, South, and Middle Sisters).
There are ranches along this route, that grow hay for their horses. It's beautiful to the horses graze with the mountains in the background.
Rebecca found her new home quilting store three years ago on our Oregon Trip '03. There's a great selection of batik and oriental prints to sew with. In fact, Rebecca didn't leave without a few purchases- 2yd of a great olive bamboo print, and two fat quarters ( sample fabric averaging about 1 square foot in size) in a fun retro lime green print. She hopes to make pillows for our new living room, after
we purchase the couch we both like. A friend recommended a home furnishings store in Tumalo, coincidentally on the way to Sisters. We checked it out and liked a couch in Olive green microsuede with two recliners on either end. The house is coming together nicely, and decorating has been fun as a team.Rebecca isn't the only one who has a favorite store in Sisters. Larry loves the Doc Holiday Bookstore, that has a large collection of books covering topics on the Old west, Cowboys, and Native American history. He purchased a fiction book on George Drouillard, guide to the Lewis & Clark expedition. It's interesting to hear how he got the job. There's a wealth of history in the west! We're beginning to feel like modern day pioneers, following parts of the Oregon Trail and reveling in the history lessons we receive along the highway.
