I ventured up to Eugene and Portland this past week. The drive up was so long and beautiful. It was nice to visit my friends and see what has been happening in their lives. I stayed with my friend James and went to work with him for a day. He and another guy Tim started Project Grow, which offers disabled adults the chance to work and farm within their neighborhood. The operation seems to be working out; harvesting vegetables and eggs, which then are sold to local restaurants and stores. The men and women earn real wages, something most organizations don't really offer. More importantly, they are actually happy doing something different and resourceful.
