As I was riding down a one-way street, to get to a point to make a couple of turns and return the other direction, I was suddenly overwhelmed to stop. It was in front of The First Presbyterian Church of Pendleton. So I did, and attended the service.
It has been many years since I have attended a Presbyterian Church. I found it interesting that it was so easy to recall the order of the Service, the recitals, and even one of the hymns. I spoke to the Pastor following the service. I will return, schedule allowing.
I arrived at my new home, for at least the next two weeks. Another motel, however they offer a discounted weekly rate. Formerly part of a chain, now an Independent. Nice property, has a pool for later this summer, nice rooms - although I don't need much, and understanding and cooperative proprietors!
It started to rain, and I asked if I could pull my bike under an awning. The owners didn't even hesitate and said sure. So I have premium, covered parking!
I say I am settling in. For the first time since I left Phoenix, I actually unpacked! I am no longer living out of my bags. Clothes are either hung on hangers or in a drawer, a run to WalMart for some needed essentials today, and a plan for a grocery run tomorrow...
In my wanderings today, I found something I have never seen before!
A drive-up/drive-through Circle K! Anything can be ordered and purchased from this window, from a thirst-buster to a hot-dog to a 12-pack of beer! I obviously have lived a sheltered life...
More tomorrow!
