I stopped for a visit with my cousin Larry. We decided we were 8 and 10 the last time we saw each other.

My cousin Paul and his granddaughter Ellie

Kathy Ellie and I

Ellie's mama and gramma

My cousin Mark, a retired attorney and spends his time now writing a novel

Dean Bilyeu, a friend I haven't seen in 40years. It was great catching up.

Patience and her husband Robert

We went to dinner with her friends JJ and Daniela

It's been a couple of years since I've seen her. She is expecting their first girl in October

It won't be long now and they will be three

When you show up unannounced, you find life happening. My cousin Patty coloring aunt Joan's hair and Norm doing something. 

OH NO! Three flights of stairs. Hey, it's a free room.

My stepdaughter Penney and her new fedora

I don't think she was expecting the camera

Bev and Penney

Some guy casing my bike

Very comfortable

Bev is off to work

Our goodbye selfie

I have never visited the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry so I fixed that today

This was a really hard puzzle but I got it.

It took me for ever until I discovered that the last clown had turned a couple of the pieces upside down.

I was really disappointed that these kids wouldn't let me have a turn.

Cool bridge across the Willamette River

Not cool bridge across the Willamette River

Guards headquarters at Fort Yamhill

Some of the brood stock at the fish hatchery

Cedar Creek Hatchery

They raise several models

These seemed to congregate near the fresh supply of oxygen.

Ocean on left, Nehtarts bay on right

Nice R1200

My son and his wife just bought a house here in Oceanside. Now to find which one. Gonna be a lot of door knocking!

A few people on the beach

Decent rip tide

Oregon sunbathers

Better pull the blanket up before we burn

Maybe we could take a little more sun on our shins

I think you're right. You think this is still modest enough out here in public?

Only knocked on 27 doors before I found it.

A small but very inviting back yard

They have guard cats that are ever on the lookout

Kristi and Eldo

Eldo is more of a leg man, I mean lego man

A few more still needing reassembly after the move

My downstairs bedroom with ocean view.

Kitchen

Living room

That curved screen TV was easy to watch

The view out of their window

Anyone for seaside tic tac toe?

Old PO Boxes still in use

Eldo and Kristi took me to Roseann's for dinner.

It's in an old building that has really settled. Check out how much!

Nice table, Great company

Nice view, His and Her's

What she was looking at

So Very Good!

Enough with the pics, let's eat!
