Four Fantastic Days......


Monday evening, we tossed around the idea of heading over to the coast to do some camping.....Tuesday by 1pm, we were on the coast with two trailers, and a very neat campsite. It took some doing, but we managed, and it was well worth it!!


Bill was suffering a migraine and a neck ache...so Cec, Rudy, Ryan, Kristin & I headed off to see some nearby things. We visited the Yaquina Bay Light House, walked on the beach, and went to old town Neport to visit the sea lions. One of them was pretty upset, and kept barking something about a crock? We headed back to camp and put together a great chili with fresh bread...YUMMY!! We enjoyed a nice campfire, and headed into bed around 10pm. Pictures from Tuesday...both Rudy's & my cameras.




On Wednesday, we packed a lunch, and headed South down the coast to Seal Rock to enjoy the tide pools there. Bill had his TAA meeting on the beach, and it looks like things are a go, since she told him to register, and get his classes. Praise God!! We enjoyed tide pools, watching the pelicans, and then headed up the coast toDepot Bay to get some Clam Chowder base, check out the Whales, and then head down the coast to Cape Foulweather. We also visited Devils Punchbowl, and saw a whale really close to shore....so close, he gave us quite a show. It did cloud over, but never rained on us. Yahoo!



Thursday, we headed North up the coast and did the Three Capes Scenic drive. It was another beautiful day....and we had a blast playing on the beach, having lunch at a neat gazebo, and enjoying the company of one another. We visited Cape Meres Light House, and the big Octopus Tree there as well. We of course ended the day with Tillamook ice cream, and a tour through the cheese factory! Back to camp for supper and another nice fire.




Friday was a lazy morning, complete with eggs, bacon, sausage & toast for brunch. Afterward, we enjoyed the rest of our campfire and headed home. The weather was great the entire time out, and we were certainly blessed with safe travels, good times, and beautiful weather. Thank You Lord!!

After arriving home, both Bill & I hit the computers. I to fill out an application, and Bill to register for school. I no sooner sent my application, than I received a call--and have an interview on Wednesday. It's a part time position...collections (go figure) and hopefully, will fit our schedule to allow for homeschooling, teaching and still allow me to work for Joe....if not, then it may not be for me...but praying if it's God's will, that it will happen. Bill was discouraged, since most of his classes are full, and he was unable to register until he was approved...which just occured. Please keep us in prayer for God to guide us through this.
