They say a picture is worth a thousand words. That’s good. Because I don’t have a thousand words. I have a ton of pictures. And zero words. Well, some words.
Things have been happening here after moving to the Pacific Northwest. We’ve been…
running around the beaches in Florence,
biking all over Eugene,
hiking all over Eugene,
and eating, always eating the good vegan foods.
Vegan Chinese from Lotus Garden: Battered veggie beef deep-fried, broccoli, carrot in sweet & spicy sauce, 
and veggie pot stickers. 
Neal’s specialty: homemade BBQ tofu with a side of broccoli and curly fries.
Asparagus bowl with creamy avocado dressing, olive tapenade and a jungle juice (I think) from Laughing Planet. 
And food from one of my favorite places in Eugene, Cornbread Cafe. A vegan omelette with sausage, biscuits and home fries.
Strawberry crepes with tempeh bacon and home fries.
For the next post, there will be words. At least more words. Probably the same amount of pictures give or take. Sound good?

It’s so beautiful out there! I’m glad to see you guys so happy out west. 🙂
Thanks Becky! Sorry I dropped the ball on your smoothie book back in Feb. The adjustment to moving was very much up and down and all over the place for me so it was difficult to focus on the blog…but I think I’m on the upswing.
Hope all is well in the ATL!
vegan strawberry crepes and vast hiking trails…total bliss!
Total bliss indeed! Thanks for reading and commenting!
Congrats on the move! And oh my goodness, that picture of the dog about to eat the broccoli?!! Those eyes! Amazing! bahahha
Thank you! Yes, Nikko is very food motivated and will go to extremes for “people food” which means funny greyhound faces aplenty 🙂
Yay! It’s nice to hear from you! Beautiful pics, and I look forward to more words 🙂
Thanks Hannah! Ha ha, yes I seem to have forgotten how to write blog posts. But I figure I gotta start somewhere. Thanks for coming back! 🙂
I’m so happy to see a new post and that you’re enjoying your new home! I have to say, Eugene is on our list of possible places to move. You might have convinced me 🙂
Hi Amanda! If you’re seriously considering Eugene, you have a place to stay if you come to check it out. The summer has proven to be pretty spectacular so far. It gets hot here but nothing compared to Atlanta.
Thanks for reading and commenting! It means a lot to me.
You are so sweet! And we just might take you up on that. We’re planning a trip out there in the early spring to check it out. We are super excited!!! I’ll certainly keep you posted on specific dates. If anything, I’d love to meet up with you for dinner.
Yesss!!
Welcome back Ketty! Gorgeous photos of your dogs ❤ I haven't been to Florence yet, but I heard it's a lovely place for dogs to roam around and I'm so happy they look comfortable there! It's a long move from Atlanta! I'm heading back in mid August, we should meet up soon and have some Thai food together! Have you been to Ta Ra Rin? x
Thanks Rika! We’ve been to Florence only once and that was back in winter, so we definitely want to go again now that the weather is so nice. Yes, let’s meet up when you are back from traveling. We’ve been to Ta Ra Rin and it is excellent. We also really like Tasty Thai Kitchen.
I’m so glad to see a post from you again! I love all of the pictures of your goings on. It looks like you’re making the most of your move and enjoying the Pacific Northwest. As always, I adore all of the pics of your happy pups.
Thanks so much Cadry! Your instagram comment helped pushed me to “just do it”. It was actually really hard to do a blog post because it had been so long..hence the little words 🙂 I just haven’t been motivated to blog, partly because it’s taken awhile to get adjusted here but I’m on my way. There is so much to explore here and in neighboring cities…we’ve only just scratched the surface. Thanks for the support and motivation!
Such breathtaking photos! It sounds like you are happily adjusting to your new surroundings and I’m so glad!
Thank you for the kind words!
what a nice post. I love all the beautiful pics – especially happy doggies!!
Thanks! The dogs are ridiculously happy in these photos as they always are. who could blame them? Relaxin’ all day with no worries in the world 🙂
Stunning photos from the beach//bikes//hikes Ketty! Looks like you’ve been recharging and enjoying your summer post-move 🙂
Gorgeous photos!!!! I hope to be able to visit up there sometime!!!
Oh Ketty, your photos are just so stunning and inspiring! I’m sure you’ve answered this somewhere else before, but what kind of camera and lens are you using?
I adore all of the doggy pictures, they’re ridiculously adorable! I also need that strawberry crepe plate, it looks like the perfect sweet and savoury mix.
That asparagus bowl looks TO DIE FOR. Also, like everyone else, I love all the pictures of your sweet pups 🙂
How did I miss this post? We miss you both! Eugene looks beautiful!!
