best grits I've had since the last time I was In Pendleton.
i'm happy to be back home though. were there is actually green stuff.

good old Linn/Benton County. (Grass Seed Capitols of the World...I guess.)

The last time I was in Pendleton it rained and I could just smell the rain coming for miles. It was something hard to forget.

Heres one I found on the internet:
