Midweek Update

A week ago we were getting on a plane for a vacation to the Oregon Coast - today we're getting on a plane to go home.  The week went by so fast - vacations always do!  We had a lovely time, walked many steps every day, and now we need to go home and recuperate, lol!

It was a foggy week on the coast, cool and damp, but also beautiful.

My favorite view from our hotel room in Depoe Bay.

We saw lots of gray whales - there is a resident pod who live in the area all summer, rather than going all the way to Alaska.

Getting my sea legs under me!

Can you tell how tightly I am holding on? 😜

There were amazing views everywhere we looked!

Some even involved wine!

The closest I came to any sewing was visiting a great little quilt shop in Florence, Oregon, called "Joy of Quilting."  She had a great fat quarter selection, so I had to bring home a few.  

These will be fun to play with!

I'm joining in with the I Like Thursday gang for LeeAnna's question of the week which is about memories of school lunches and lunch boxes.  Although my memories are fuzzy about all those years ago, I'm pretty sure we always brought our lunch to school in a metal lunch box, and bought milk to drink.  Remember reading the milk cartons?  My kids never liked the school lunch, so they always brought their lunch from home, too, but by then the lunch boxes were insulated canvas containers with zippers.  I think we went through a lot of them!  My favorite lunch container was one I made for myself when I was teaching.  This one was fun to carry around!
