We had another lovely road trip day yesterday, we went to Ocean Shores and my husband has finally touched the Pacific Ocean for the first time after living here for some 17 years or whatever its been now. I kept telling him that the Sound, while salt water, is not the ocean. I didn't make it quite all the way to the water but I could see it and hear it and feel the strong breeze, it had already been a bit of a walk and the sand was difficult on my knee, so eventually I stopped at a handy log and waited as the hubby and dogs went on to the water.

Another part of the State the hubby hadn't been to, we also drove by the Whoops towers (failed nuclear power plant)

Dogs were lovely, weather was cooler than its been (so that was extra lovely, plus the car has AC), traffic was lovely. It was rather comforting in some ways to see even the rural areas and park trails with masks on. We are all trying to do our part.

Today is back to quilting, three of the ladies in my Tuesday group have husbands with end of life concerns. One of those is not in a good place and we hope to start on a comfort quilt project today so I'll be loading the car with more fabric than usual.

I think that means that I will be going to the post office on Wednesday instead of after group today, but I will have the packages with me. I will have the center going to Mary, and fabric going to both Rebecca and Mona. It's been awhile since I've been in the green box and I'm having fun slicing up a variety pack.
