Day to Day


Well, first off I have to apologize for no post yesterday.  It was a busy day at The Craftsman B&B.  I watched Mike turn all four rooms.  He had to deal with a red wine stain in one room and other unknown spots in others.  It makes for a long day.  Good thing there were no guests showing up early, we finished at 3:55, minutes to spare.  Laundry and ironing were the tasks for the rest of the evening.  Not much excitement for me but a house full of new guests to check in.

We had a guest from London, England.  He was traveling the West on a Harley.  Sturgis was on his list of stops.  He left Bend in the morning in the 80º's and got here to Pacific City in the 60º's.  This morning he headed to Victoria, BC.

So another hot few days in the valley again.  We hovered around 60º again today.  Very foggy all day.  Moving in and out of the shoreline.  We saw some sun and took a walk to Twist and the hardware store.  We also got some glass for a vintage pachinko machine Mike and Laura got at the Library Thrift Store.  Some body gave up on the project, so Mike will give it a try.  We also dropped off some art to be framed.

On our walk, we saw that there was a car wash at the fire station benefiting Cole Ortega.  I hope they were able to raise some funds for his care.  He was involved in a dory boat / surfing accident at Cape Kiawanda earlier this Summer.

Back home we put the glass in the pachinko machine and started to figure out how it worked.  We will need to buy more balls for it.  E-Bay will save the day, I'm sure.

Well the fog is moving in again and I can hardly see across the street, so now is as good a time to take a nap, I need it, walking to the hardware store and getting a cookie can be tough work.
