It&#8217;s such a nice town and our trip coincided with their art\/craft festival again. One of the Eugene fiber-arts gurus was there, and I was glad for the chance to introduce her to BN, since every time she sees me she says something about how I don&#8217;t even look old enough to get married. Now she&#8217;s seen my husband with her own eyes! From a hatmaker from Washington I purchased a sun hat for our trip to Hawaii, handmade from some natural fiber that looks like a straw hat but is soft and squishable so it&#8217;ll be good for packing and travelling.<\/p>\n<p>For our day trip we went to Sparks Lake, one of the lakes we&#8217;d visited two years ago on our trip with my family to the Cascade Lakes area. It was a perfect day to go swimming, the water was very cold but refreshing. The Cascade Lakes mosquitos are pure evil. They are huge, and the bites I got swelled up into quarter-sized welts that turned purple like a bruise. And itched like mad!<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"SparksLake1 by fidget kt, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/15197746@N03\/3727781429\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/farm3.static.flickr.com\/2662\/3727781429_ee77254227_m.jpg\" alt=\"SparksLake1\" width=\"178\" height=\"267\" \/><\/a> <a title=\"SparksLake2 by fidget kt, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/15197746@N03\/3727780987\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/farm3.static.flickr.com\/2459\/3727780987_8f3f40accf_m.jpg\" alt=\"SparksLake2\" width=\"267\" height=\"267\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>We made several visits to Townshend&#8217;s Tea, a really-and-truly tea shop with no coffee at all.
