More Roses, Theater & Good-byes

Sunday was a rather gloomy day, weather wise and mood wise. We didn’t set an alarm, and woke to a fine on-and–off drizzle. The first rain since being in Oregon fell on our last day here. We worked on pictures yet again before breakfast and a 10 mile drive to the Portland Rose Garden. It was such a lovely and calming place, in the morning before the crowds arrived, overcast and misty. We stopped back by the Fairfield to change for the show, “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels”, and headed off to meet Josh and Laura at the Broadway Rose. The performance was very well done and an entertaining musical, although a bit risqué at times and too many seemingly avoidable profanities. Too bad. We then found a Mexican restaurant at a nearby plaza and enjoyed our last meal together. It was indeed hard to want to let this somewhat surreal vacation draw to a close. The drizzle was now a rain, so we prayed together in Josh’s car and weathered the rain for our good-bye hugs before driving back to the Fairfield to pack for our trip home.
