Medford Oregon Makes the List - Again!

So, you are a Baby Boomer looking to slow down the pace in your life. The kids are grown and on their own, or maybe you didn't choose to HAVE kids, having focused your attention on your career, hobbies and travels. In your mid-forties on up to 70+ years old, is it time to stop? Maybe it is dusk, not twilight for you.

So, you don't want the long days, high-stress that may have come with your career. You've traveled a great deal, and still have many places you want to see yet. You are starting to think about stepping out of the mainstream, but don't necessarily want to be out in the boondocks.

good old Medford :-) It is very beautiful down there. It is nice to see it get some recognition!

Yeah...and that pic is just the view from my Medford home office! I'll put the view from my office up next good snow we get, or when Spring rolls around. Eugene is nice, too...you rate a Trader Joe's, so you must be special :->.

Karen - I grew up in Klamath, went to college in Ashland and both of my parents grew up in Central Point. The Rogue Valley is part of my Roots. While I live in Northern Oregon. Southern Oregon will always be home.

Larry - So you've seen our area grow a bit, eh? Look me up if you come back to your roots, okay? Would love to meet some fellow AR'ers.

Yes. I rember going to my great grandmothers to pick blackberries and play with her chicks. She was about 4 blocks east of the river and it was still pretty much country. I remember when Central Point WAS country... My grandfather came when there was still only dirt roads...

Hi Karen ~ I always love it when Oregon gets recognition. I do not care necessarily about the city or region even. I do like Medford, though, and it has some great high school memories. Being a native Oregonian, I attended Centennial High School and we did a choir tour, stopping there and hanging out some. Also my uncle lives in Eagle Point, not too far from there!

Hi Sarah- No...Eagle Point isn't far from Medford at all. It is the fastest growing city in our area, though, so if you haven't visited your uncle recently, it may look a lot different! Our daughter is in chorus. Maybe one day we'll end up touring your neck of the woods!

Hi Karen ~ If you do tour up here, let me know and we will hook up! I should go visit my Uncle. He is a terrific guy!

Will do, Sarah. Every Spring, we take the RV and try to visit new places in Oregon we haven't seen before. Will look you up when we head your way!
