They bought five acres out of town to have more space and smaller house. Maybe we can park on their acreage someday. They said Bend is growing and getting busier. Then they drove in Seattle traffic and realized Bend isn't that busy after all.

Bachelor. It's a couple thousand feet higher than Bend so a bit cooler.Jim and Gaylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13982110996137470496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9062337474734435253.post-4964259774168242522016-06-15T05:10:20.246-07:002016-06-15T05:10:20.246-07:00how fortunate to have friends with land near Bend,...how fortunate to have friends with land near Bend, we too love Bend but always have a hard time finding places to stay since we travel on the fly with few reservations.

I think we visited 3 while we were there. I have to say if we were looking for a new place to settle down, Bend would certainly be in the running.

She has a small shop downtown. There used to be an electric bicycle shop across the hall that let you test drive 'em.

Bend sure looks like a great place to consider.
