April Showers is Right

-


We just returned from a Motorhome trip. We went down 99 as far as we could to avoid I5. We were headed to Indian Mary campground on the Rogue River.



There weren't many people camping and it was nice to have the place to ourselves. It did rain a bit!!



grape vines and wild turkeys and a picnic by the river.

We traveled over hwy 138 and 38 to the coast. Trees were down on both sides of the highway . It was amazing.

We stayed a couple of  nights at Beverly Beach. We like this park. They were taking down several trees and that was interesting to watch.




It looks just like it did when I went there with my family years ago.  Cool swamp cabbage and weird old shaped trees.


Barview Jetty.....we stocked up on Shrimp, Scallops and Clam Chowder before arriving. We ate well. This campground has a Lot of driftwood. There was a very high tide one day and we had to scamper up a hill to avoid getting wet.

Lastly we went to Nehalem Bay. A lot of rain!!

We have been here several times and it is a great place to stay, especially when there are hardly anyone else around!!

....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...
