July 21, 2011 – Fort Stevens, Oregon




Well, so much for just resting. Most evenings when we watch television I have been in the bedroom watching from our small screen because there are not really three comfortable places to sit in the living area. Yesterday Bill decided it was time to tear that small television out and replace it with a larger screen. So, that’s what we did. We went to Costco and bought a 32 inch flat screen television and Bill spent the day uninstalling and installing. Although I didn’t want him to do that much work, I love it; however, I haven’t had a moment to watch anything on it yet.
Jim, Colleen and the children arrived today. That’s when we really get busy. It was around dinner time so we immediately started thinking about dinner which can be quite a production while camping with all of us. As Bill started cooking, Jim got all the bikes out. We are in a great area for bike riding and hiking so as soon as we ate the children, Robbie and Jim took off on bikes. I expect the children will have a wonderful time here. I think they plan on biking down to the beach tomorrow morning after breakfast.
