Various activities

Since my last visit we have been to the beach, although not how we thought we would be going because of the snow in Southern Oregon. We were going to Indian Mary campground down sort of by Roseburg but we couldn't get through so they kindly changed our reservation to this month and we will go there next Tuesday.

We went instead to Lincoln City and stayed one night at Devil's Lake. Of course we had to have shrimp from Barnacle Bill's. Excellent.

Next we moved on to Cape Lookout State Park




There were the most interesting trees all twisted and gnarly. I couldn't get enough of looking at them. 


We left this nearly empty campground and stopped in Tillamook for a cup of ice cream....naturally. Tillamook Creamery has completed a beautiful new building and there are so many tempting things to look at and maybe to buy!!

Next stop was Barview Jetty. This is a county park and I really like it. Easy access to the beach and a huge sand dune to climb if you would choose to do so.

We left the next morning and continued on to Nehalem Bay where we stayed several nights. They have a nice trail around the area and it passes a small airport. A plane was landing and it flew really low over our heads.

....and then it snowed!

It was a good thing that my open studio was scheduled for the day it was because I just barely escaped the snow! It was a fun day and many friends stopped by to see where I love to sew. A friend who I hadn't seen in years, Joy, came and I was so happy to see her again. When I owned The Quilting B, the best thing about being there was all the new friends I made. I probably would never met many of you if it hadn't been for those years! Thanks! Here are a few of the pictures from that day. Ellen came with her project and it is beautiful! My neighbor, Monica is helping me have a great time! Along with the stitching, it is a time to make more friends and to know each other a little better. Our dog, Oscar, loves to be with people. Jean and Julie are keeping on task! And then it snowed!!!! Yard art! But the dogs are happy inside. When Oscar walked outside when it was icy, he would walk along the top and the...

I guess if I'm going to get anything else written before 2013, I'd better get at it. Earlier this month Loren and I went to downtown Portland and watched the Tuba Christmas. It was held at Pioneer Courthouse Square and was beautiful. Listening to that many tubas outside was wonderful. It was a little misty and a bit cold but all crowded together, it wasn't bad. I love the old courthouse. Tried to get the flag billowing out, almost. It is such a beautiful old building. We don't have many buildings like this, we tear them down and make something new. nice tree...great back view of someones head! After watching for a while we went to.... Besides the greatest smelling cigars, they sell their wonderful cigar boxes. I was looking for a perfect one to give my daughter with a scarf that I knitted for her. Of course, I found one and sorry I didn't take a picture of it. It is black and just perfect for her. Score!  A little l...
