I’m almost embarrassed to say that after dragging my whole desktop computer down there (got to get me a laptop) I didn’t complete a single page. I didn't even complete part of a page. I just wasn’t in the mood. So I drove around some around Newport and took pictures, went up to Yaquina Lighthouse, found a letterbox or two (how could I resist??), took some naps, played solitaire on my computer (THAT was worth hauling my computer down there for…not), and just relaxed and enjoyed being with some amazingly funny, creative, and beautiful women. Who cooked for me. And brought me snacks. I didn’t have to do all the cleaning or pick up after anyone or anything! It was total heaven.
I learned to make German Pancakes (thanks, Kathleen!) which are now my favorite breakfast ever. And boy, are they easy to make and easy to clean up. My kind of cooking!
Charlene and Michele tried to teach me to knit. They are great teachers, but I am a slow student. I had a really hard time remembering that I wasn’t crocheting. They both think I knit weird because I can’t figure out how to “throw”. I knitted about 25,000 rows and have nothing to show for it because I kept dropping stitches and splitting my ply and getting annoyed and ripping the whole thing out.
So even though I don't have a lot of stories to tell, or much detail to share because I slept a lot, I had a great time and recharged my batteries.
Here are a few more pictures:
