Back from the Beach

I know...I know I am sssoooo terrible with being consistent. But hey at least I am willing to admit that I am awful at it. The family and I just got back from the beach at Lincoln City, OR. We had a wonderful time. It was relaxing and wonderful to watch the kids. We id the kite flying, shell and beach combing and crabbing. We never did catch any crabs but Ryan made a valiant effort. The seafood was amazing. Trevor my youngest tried the seafood from our plates but refused to order any himself. He took it upon himself to try every toasted cheese sandwich served from Idaho to Oregon and back. It was very endearing. It was sunny there at the beach but in the 60's which was colder than we are used to...here in Orofino we are in the high 90's. So we missed the warm weather but it never gets very warm there, so considering it never rained but the day we left, I count myself lucky.



I finished my job with Grant Thornton LLC and am taking a time out to purchase the family business with the husband. I am still working on getting the studio up and ready to go and hit it hard when time allows. Sooner hopefully than later. I got lots of inspiration from the trip. Kids are enjoying the summer which is going by faster that we'd like. I only managered to get tomatoes, herbs, some cucumbers, peppers and cabbage in. I had every intention of doing a full garden..even had the box built but things got away from me due to the odd weather we had this year. Oh well there is always next.

Well enough rambling.. I am off to work on other priorities. Ta ta for now...Ilena
