Happy August.

It is hard to believe this is the first weekend in August. Last weekend, my college friend Jan and her husband Darrell and son Travis came for a visit for 3 days(Fri-Sun). I went to college with her at Angelo State University in San Angelo, Texas from 1972-1974. This was their first trip to the Pacific Northwest and where here a week. I have visited with them after the Quilt Show in Houston in 2008 and 2011. They live in a town north of Houston called The Woodlands. We took them to McMinnville to the Evergreen Museum to see the Spruce Goose on Friday and then Sat took them to see the coast. We went to Lincoln City, Depoe Bay and Newport. They loved the coast after walking along the beach, seeing a gray whale, seeing a lighthouse and clam chowder. It was fun to show them our beautiful coast. Here are a few pictures:
