We are camping! Finally made it to the Oregon Coast. Had an off and on rainy drive down here - 4-1/2 hrs - but a sunny window to walk the beach once we got here. We sat out under our awning and watched it rain again after that - cooked and ate our Yankee dip sandwiches. Finally moved inside. Our friends came by about 6:30 for a visit. Their campsite is a bit of a hike from ours. Today, we might explore the little town, Nehalem. Or I might sew/read/relax. Our friend is working from his trailer so at least he won't be able to socialize until evening. He's a doctor and teaches at a medical school but all classes are on line right now - even "clinicals". It's a strange time.
Yesterday Foxy began his day (and mine) at 4:15am with a hairball on the bed. He ended it by jumping onto the new plant shelf Bill put up in the trailer under our big window. And the shelf, plants (and dirt!!), and cat all came crashing down. Didn't really want those plants anyway, I guess. Silly cat! We saw a lumber store a mile or two away so we're going to go see if we can find things we need to do repairs. Foxy misses "his" new perch!
Albert is slipping away. I talked with my niece 3x yesterday but we decided to go on with our camping trip as we can't see him in the hospital and there's just nothing for us to do. Even most of his own family can't see him as the hospital is VERY strict about their one person a day rule. So for now that person is his wife of 62 years. And I know that's who he wants there. I was only 6 when they eloped. Boy, do I remember that! And our parents reaction when they found out! lol!
CHICKIE - a Yankee dip sandwich is a burger, shaped like the hoagie bun it's served with. Same au jus sauce. Fun haying memories for you! You had a pretty responsible job for a teenager! Hope you decide to join the Christmas swap. They are the most fun swaps of all!
LORI - I have you a fake name for my new project yesterday - it's called "Starlit Night Skies" in McCall's most recent issue.
JANA - there's a reason they made up that old saying - "kids will be kids"! lol! Have YOU thought about joining the fun in Tina's Christmas swap?
IRISH - I DO remember the story of how you met Jim!
I would think you would love the smell of new hay! lol! BECCA - you get more done in an extra hour waiting for appointment time than I do all day long!
Supper tonight is going to be tacos, I think, cooked on the outdoor stove. I do the prep work inside and Bill does the spoon wielding outside.
Hope your supper is a good one!
