Smith Rock State Park is a thirty minute drive from the beautiful city of Bend, Oregon.  Our friends Kim and Dane had this park on the list of places to see when we came to visit.  Being lovers of the outdoors, we were all ready to hike the Misery Ridge Loop Trail and get a spectacular view of Mt. Jefferson as the sun set over that mountains.

I made a brief trip see a sweet friend and true sister in the beautiful city of Cincinnati.  A stroll in the park and a walk along the river brought us back together for a quick second.  Dinner at the Taste of Belgium and meeting her new fiancé was the perfect treat!

Ohio is a simple place.  

Open Space,

Of trees and fields and sunsets.

Time with family and solo drives on country roads,

Leave my heart content.
