Continuing to live up to it's reputation
Today started out with high hopes of a sunny day, but alas, it hasn't really come yet. Earlier, we went to the "jetty" at Fort Stevens. Jer, Joe, Rita, Kyle, HollyKate and Myles(in a back pack on Kyle) walked a bit while Mary D and I sat on the lookout. (She has a boot on because of a broken ankle so couldn't walk out.) It was sunny there tho a bit windy. The jetty itself is about a mile and half long, created in the 30's by the Corps of Engineers to somewhat control how the mouth of the Columbia River and The Pacific Ocean come together. It has made the passage to the Columbia much safer. As we drove away, we seem to drive right back into the marine layer hanging over Gearhart and Seaside.
Sad news today.... this morning around 6:45, a plane crashed into a vacation home in Gearhart... the two on the plane were killed; in the home, there were three injured and three more young children killed. Two of the adults in the home had gone for an early morning walk.... imagine coming home to the catastrophe. The home was being rented for a family reunion. Our prayers are with the families, the neighbors, the town.... It's so sad.

We've had pretty typical Seaside, Or weather.... cloudy in the am and it starts to clear in the afternoon. Friday we lounged around, walked a bit and and then had lunch at Joe and Rita's. Joe and Jerry left to attempt a golf game, but a larger crowd than expected and a few drops of rain put the nix on that. I came back to our room and proceeded to fall asleep till a bit after 3:10. I was suppose to be back at Joe and Rita's by 3.... oh well.... We were going to be making lefse.... Rita makes the dough, Joe was suppose to be in charge of the griddle.... he was having a few problems, so he passed it on to Jerry, within 10 minutes, the job was passed to me and Rita and I managed to get a good system, keep from buring them and voila! we had lefsa.
The family golf tourney was Saturday and Jillian was also leaving Tacoma to come here for the night. She brought Brian and Bobbin's son, Aaron, with her and dropped him off before coming to our place. Jer was still golfing so she and I went our for Pad Tai. yummy....
That evening, the family reunion took place at Joe and Rita's.... A nice crowd. Pictures were being taken and we got on of just the FOSS group and, as you can see, we weren't quite prepared.
