The ladies hit the road. A little singing… A little storytelling… and something about how “Lucy” became a source of bonding for Gayle and Fran.

A workmare invades Julie’s mind and triggers some anxious moments. Gayle diffuses things with the toss of a towel and a redirect — it’s off to Grandma’s house they go.

Coffee, an introduction to “Is” thinking and a run… The first full day in Portland starts off on the right foot.

Meeting the mentor, learning about Third Places, a warm meal, and a nice cold Fat Tire. The ladies settle into their adventure.

Will she or won’t she? Will anything get in the way of the weekend getaway to Oregon?
