Dinner in Coquille, OR.  Cathy, Bob, Pat, Karen and Preston

Nice Birds

We attended the Saw Dust Theater.  A good Melodrama with a Hero, Heroine and Villian.  Other good actors and a great dance team.

This was the orignnal Sherm's Cycle Product5s.  On Highway 101 in Coos Bay, OR.  It's been several things since then.  Moved from this location in 1999.

Across the Hwyway, the big freighters come in to load wood chips to take over seas

Shore Acres

Louis Simpson was a local Lumber Baron.  This was his garden

Took a couple dozen rose pics, just posting a few

The pond looks a little grim. About due for a clean out

A rugged shore line

The vegetation and flowers change with the seasons.  It's always beautiful out here

Rhubarb grows good here on the coast

This Callalily  is beautiful!

This is where the stood with the Pastor

Smooth water today

On a rough day you can get soaked standing where we are now

Preston and Spnaky

This property belonged to my parents for a few years.  Then we bought it to sell to Angie and Darren.  Not as pretty as when my mother was taking care of the lawn and flowers back in the 70's

Pat and our friend Kay

Bandon Cheese Factory

Yum

Many samples to graze on

We bought a nice loaf of stone oven baked whole grain bread and some cheese curds

South of bandon

Kids and adults all love this place

Southern Oregon shore

At Klamath, California

Paul

And Babe

Our daughter in Law Judy and Pat's son Gary live here.  Johnny was Judy's dad

We stayed in the apartment above the office

It's an RV park, also has rentals, and has boat docks.  They used to have a party boat, but gave that up.

Flowers

These next flowers are at Pat's other son Larry''s house

Pretty

It was getting late and the fog was starting to roll in when we took these

This was back in Coos Bay. Across the street from Karen and Preston's house.  Their neighbor cut down a tree and hired this guy to bring out a portable saw mill.  He's going to build  a deck with the lumber from this tree

Some good planks for fire wood too

Lots of nice clean wood from one old tree

It was interesting watching them cut it up

By the time we returned from a ride, the mill was gone and the wood was all stacked up

On the way South. The  U-Pick blue berry farm is open and in season, but we didn't stop.  The Desert is calling.
