Today is Duff’s birthday! Since we have been together daily for the last three months and on the move there has been no time to get a birthday gift. What do you know, I got him a gift he really enjoyed. This area has 16 micro-breweries and a game that they have visitors play. It is visit at least 4 of the breweries and get their stamp, turn in the card for the gifts. We visited two and then planned to have dinner at number three and quit for the day. Well number three was a cool place but only pizza and candied filberts. Springfield is the home to the nations oldest commercial filbert (hazelnut) farm and we are now the proud owners of way to many filberts. 

We ate at a cute place on the way home and on Monday we will visit brewery 4 and get our gifts! This is a great way to get visitors to drive around the area and we met other couples doing the same thing.

What TV cartoon family is believed to be from Springfield, OR, the city of outdoor murals? Matt Groening sanctioned and signed their mural! We visited their mural and many others today.
