COQUILLE DIARY AUGUST 2000
August 13: My sister, Gale and her friend, Carol Way decided to run away from home and came to visit . They got in early afternoon Monday and rested. The next morning we ran away to Coos Bay and had breakfast at the Pancake Mill and drove to Horsfals beach. The weather was lovely. We picked up lots of shells.
Then we went to the Myrtle Wood factory. The went back to downtown Coos Bay and walked over all the antique shops. We also drove to Shore Acres and walked about past the marked area and went into the danger zone way out by the edge of the cliffs. Very exciting. Then we drove to Bandon and looked at all the shops in old town.
I worked the next day and the ladies stopped in at the hospital before they tootled on home. They decided to go by way of the Redwoods. Nice drive if a bit out of the way.
The hospital is purchasing new furniture for the patient rooms. I have put a bid on three footstools at seven bucks a piece. Perfect for holding blankies at the end of the bed. I also purchased five metal bedside stands and they will make swell storage in the sunroom.
Coos County fair was a couple weeks ago. Our kitchen cook, Mary Noriega won first prize for her apple pie and won a brand new stove. Yummy.
Blackberry arts festival. Tim and I went and discovered we could purchase a whole blackberry pie for not a terrible price. Even though we have a very large blackberry bush in the back yard, Ya has to fight the spider and stickers for decent berries. Taste good though. The variety we have is not Himalayan because there are no seeds in the flesh.
Got an email from Monica K former boss lady. She just found out her daughter age 15 is four months pregnant. Oh dear. The father is a tall good looking Samoan kid. The baby will be beautiful. But it is not a good situation.
Oh goody, I found Battlebots on Comedy channel. So cool. I love it, all sizes of robots bash at each other in the very large cage. Much fun.
More hospital furniture: I purchased two bed tables. Putting on in the basement next to washer/dryer and one upstairs in the north bedroom, in case I ever want to have breakfast in bed.
Tim and I are driving to Bend for the Oregon meeting. Haven't been there in quite some time. It will be a mini vacation.
Earthquake: The one in Yountville only rattled the kids awak. They didn't see anything crashing on the cars and went back to bed.
Enough about August.
G'night folks.
