Odds and ends wrap up

Aren't you tired of this yet? This is just a collection of weird stuff I didn't have enough of to post at the time....now there's a bunch and worth the time to post!

So, this is a starfish...in case you didn't know...really.....Seriously though, these were everywhere at the beach in Newport..yellow, red, orange-pretty neat!

And this is a huge airplane engine, courtesy of the Boeing museum....and photography courtesy of G!Seeing these trucks on the road was very common in Washington and Oregon-amazing amounts of lumber being moved around-the logs were enormous!

This one is for my friend Michelle and her little boy Grant. As we were passing through a quaint little town off the 101, I spied this restaurant and the big ol' sign and had to snap a picture for her. Hope you like it Michelle!!!The red mustang, oooh, the red mustang. While in Portland, Bill had to work a few days and since we were staying nearly 60-70 minutes away from the worksite, he rented a car so I could still get around with our car. Now this car had precisely 5 miles on the odometer....brand spankin' new car. The kids were more excited over that car than anything they had seen up to that point. They all got a turn in it, even if it was just driving from our condo to the clubhouse. So, if you ever want to thrill your kids, don't drive a thousand miles from home, just rent a car!! Please, learn from our experience.... Yep, freezing cold, they are wearing jackets..and the TOP is down. Okee-dokee..I'm glad I had the warm car to drive in!

I got this book on Mother's Day, '1003 Great Things About Mom's', so I thought I'd try to include a line every now and then......'Mothers know when to give you Tylenol, and when to give you Motrin..and when you need Advil...or Valium'
