We had a leisurely lunch in Roseburg at Brudke's, a funky little restaurant with tired decor and tired waitresses (who, nonetheless, were pleasant and as attentive as they could be, given that they were short-handed today). The patty melt that we split was quite good, and the onion rings and bleu cheese salad dressing were above average.
The weather has been glorious; sunny and mild. The highest temperature reported by our new Mazda 6 Sport Sedan was 70 degrees Fahrenheit. It made for a pleasant drive from Dallas. And we have been more than pleased with our new car.
So, here we are at Callahan's. The setting is lovely; the room is large and well appointed, with wood burning fireplace, jacuzzi tub and a nice king bed. Our room is on the ground floor, looking out on a grassy yard with a waterfall fountain and a wonderful variety of trees. I can see pines, cedars, oaks and a couple of varieties that I don't recognize.
After settling into our temporary diggings, we took a walk around the property. The grounds are mainly natural, except for the big backyard. If there is a downside to this place, it would be that the highway is nearby and on about a 5% grade; many a truck has gone by using its exhaust brakes. With luck, that won't disturb our sleep.

We are happy splurging on this rather spendy lodging and look forward to dinner in the beautiful dining room. In the meantime...perhaps a soak in the jacuzzi...who knows??
