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!!

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
