This morning we decided to drive in to
Albany and then to Philomath. In Albany, we hit their farmer’s market. It was a new one for us since we had been
going to Corvallis. Well, we will be
going back to Corvallis as this one was nothing special. We left there pretty quickly and headed for
our second destination – the Philomath Scout Lodge Quilt Show. They do this one yearly at the Scout
headquarters there. It costs $5.00 and
we were in! I spent a while looking
through the exhibits and saw many beautiful quilts,
then found a comfy seat
while Lydia and Penny went through at a much slower pace! Lydia bought some material and they both
entered for the drawings and when they were finished they said they were glad
they came! Afterward, we went to Block
15 for lunch (thanks Penny!). This was a
place I was glad I came! They have terrific hamburgers here plus craft beer. I
tried their Printmaster’s Pale Ale, which was really good.
Penny had their Super Nebula Stout which she
liked as well. Once full, we headed home and rested for the day. Since we ate a nice meal, we didn’t fix
dinner. We just ate either chips and/or
tomato soup. We finished up the day watching tv.

Today was a kick back day.
The weather was supposed to change this afternoon to rain so we expected
blue skies in the morning. We still have
smoke from the fires so we got mucky gloom instead. Later in the afternoon, it started out with
light sprinkles and then progressed into the evening with light rain. There is more coming next week so I think I
will soon be able to turn off the sprinklers and drip systems around the
property for the season! Penny got her
modem from Xfinity and went over to set it up. She called me once and said she
was waiting for the system boot/startup.
It wasn’t working so she ended up calling support to help get it going,
which they did. Meanwhile we lounged
around the house, watching tv and doing small chores. After she returned and it
got later in the afternoon, we decided to go to Sweet Home to the Skyline Inn
for salad and clam chowder. We also
needed to return the pie plate that my birthday pie was on. It had a $13.00 deposit! Although it wasn’t a big meal, it was sure
tasty! Our server, Mars, is friendly and
is a lot of fun. We told her we were
enjoying the meal and she suggested we go on Yelp and write a review. Penny told her about my blog so I gave her a
card so she could read it if she wanted. I took her picture next to the dessert
cooler
(yes – she twisted our arms (not too hard) to try the coconut pie and
pumpkin cake!) which were both very good. After that, we headed back home fat
and happy with the promise to ourselves that we will be going back one day very
soon to try their breakfast.
