We stopped to go on a "little hike" that I had heard about, here is a view on the way, it turned out to be longer than we expected... 

The reward for climbing the REALLY BIG HILL, or was it a small mountain?! 

I found a big Leaning tree 

After our tour we dug into some of the famous Ice cream, and boy was it good! 

Jonathan Likes Ice cream as much as I do! 

On our way back from Tillamook we stop at a Petting Farm... 

Here is the whole hungry gang! 2 Pigmy goats a big ugly goat and a Llama 

This is a big scary bucktoothed cross-eyed old goat, and stingy too! 

While feeding hte animals I make faces at a Llama 

We Returned to the Peter Iredale for the sunset and the pictures! Here is a self portrait with the Wreckage in the background. 

We decide to turn our Everyday Hamburgers into Swiss Mushroom Burgers! Here is my dear husband Saute' ing the mushrooms! 

Jonathan Mans the Grill! 

Alive , Well and Unbelievably Busy

Hi All!
So sorry iots been so long since I have blogged....
I was getting ready to finish my camping story when life struck full force.
I am still planning on finishing the story, with pictures.
I have other stories to tell to! The things to come are:
Joy's Bridal Shower
Kirstin's Bridal shower
Joys Wedding,
and by Friday I will have Pictures of Kirstin's Bachelorette Party (I am not sure if they will be shown or not LOL)
I do have a job for those of you who havn't heard, that is one of the things keeping me away from the computer, and away from my daily comics, and from checking my e-mail. Sigh I am just so busy! When I am not at work I am preparing for a wedding-related event. Either going places to help Brides-to-Be with various projects/parties or actually cleaning and decorating for parties at my own house!
Whew!
Well I promise I have nor forgotten ya'll! I love you all and as soon as I clean my house, make a cake and decorate the house for the Bachelorette party I will do everything in my power to send more of my daily life!
Holly and Jonathan say "hi" too!
God Bless!

The wreck of the Peter Iredale 

Chapter 2: The Journey

After an enjoyable time in Longview we prepared to head to the Oregon coast! How Exciting! Once we arrived we went for a bike ride around the area. We saw fort Stevens, and The Peter Iredale, a shipwreck on the coast. Being my first real-life shipwreck I thought it was pretty cool! Then we picked up a post card and headed back to set up camp. I hadn't been bike riding in a while and I found that is abused some muscles that were not really prepard to be abused...
Anyway once we got back to camp we set up and got ready to make dinner and enjoy a crackling campfire before bed time.
More to come.
God Bless!

Half way to our destination we stopped at an overlook where we could see a tiny white speck where Grandad and Grandma Theo live! I also picked some little daisies with hopes to create a daisy chain. 

On our way there I successfully made a daisy chain! my first ever, its a little small, but I just had to show it off! 

This is our lean-to. which we set up in case up rain. Good thing too. I helped our clothes dry and protected the wood! 

My husband, who wasn't expecting a camera in his face! 

Here is our lovely little camp, all set up! 

Memorial Day and Beyond, Chapter one

Jonathan and I headed down to Longview Friday night so that on Saturday we could go to the Cemetary with his family to put flowers on the graves of loved ones. The flowers were contributed by both Grandad and Grandma Theo and Grandpa Larry and Grandma Ruth. They were beautiful!
I apologize for the delay in getting this to you all, I hope that you enjoy it now.
I will be relating the story and the pictures of the rest of our week over several days!
Here is part one:
God Bless!

The flowers turned out beautifully this year with the combined talents of our family gardeners! 

Our purpose here is to mark the graves of those we have loved. 

A father and son moment. Aren't they adorable?! 

The Ferguson Family 

We Remember those who have gone before us... 

All of us and the flowers! 

when we arrive at the cemetary I catch Aunt Linda in an unguarded moment
