Beautiful Cloudy Portland

-
I am so happy for the clouds today. I know summer is supposed to be hot, but it is not my favorite weather condition. This is much more to my liking. Sweaters are a great fashion necessity.

We went camping last weekend at Memaloose campground in the Columbia Gorge. We left on Friday and as we came past Hood River noticed a lot of smoke. It was the train derailment in Mosier. We made it to the campground and then the hosts came by and told us that we couldn't leave the camp area. The highway was closing and it would be at least the next day before anyone could travel. That was fine with us as we weren't planning to leave. I was sorry for those who had left early and then could not come back in.

The campground is nice and except for it being 100 degrees while we were there, we had a nice time.


Rudy enjoyed the view from a table top!

Love this droopy tree.

Yesterday Sylvia and I went along with Carrie's High School Art Students on a field trip to the Portland Art Museum. It was a beautiful day and we ate lunch at the Farmers Market.


Love the colors in this piece.


Nice to see Monet's lily pads.



And the famous Cats!!

Camping in the Rain

 Hello Everyone,  We went camping at Barview Jetty a little while ago and it rained almost all the time we were there! On the way it was necessary to stop here at our favorite fish shop! Best shrimp, sauce, and clam chowder that we have found.  Excellent. We went there on the way to camp and on the way home. Even thought it rained so much, the clouds were spectacular. The sand had some cool patterns We had friends that camped next to us and we ate really well.  Some reading and stitching were also part of our days. A couple weeks ago we went to McIver park to camp. Again it rained almost the whole time we were there. Same friends kept us entertained and we continued with our eating really well. This is a reflection in the lake of the sun trying to come out. Mamma ducks and babies were enjoying the break in the rain. We have found out that our beloved Oscar has Prostate cancer and Cushings disease. It's a sad blow as we lost both our Silkies last year. We don't know how long we

Coming out of hibernation

 I decided it was time to bring my blog back to life. I thought about it for some time and decided it would be so nice to connect with friends again even if it's just with words. I have mostly enjoyed being at home and catching up with reading and sewing. My Etsy shop is doing well and I would like to share some of the things that are currently available.                                        I bought this tin in The Netherlands when I was recently there visiting my daughter and her family. They took me to a very cool old antique shop and they have Lots of tins. The shop had so many things that I would have liked to take home. But Not possible. This is another one! It's been fun finding things to put in the sewing boxes. They are listed in my Etsy shop thequiltingbshop.Etsy.com There are lots of size 12 Valdani Thread available too. A few of the ones that I just listed I brought home some beautiful French floss that is paired up with some wool squares and some that are listed
