The Eclipse



Hubby and I flew out to Portland Oregon for the eclipse.  My son, Bill, drove us down to Albany, Oregon to his in-laws home where we could see the total eclipse.  Sam and Treasa are always so good to us and this time was no different. We sat in the front yard to watch the eclipse. It was surprisingly that when only a little sun was showing it was still quite bright.  However when the total happened it got dark and surprisingly cool.  You could hear cheers from all over the neighborhood and expressions of delight at the view.   We spent the rest of the week at Crater Lake and at a fur trading post in Portland and finally a cruise through the Columbia Gorge.  It was a great trip.

Loving your posts! Especially the quilts. I have done both hand quilting and machine. The only machine quilt was a crib sized quilt Amish Shadows with black and stitching in the ditch. Always had it hung in my office at work and it is now pretty faded. I put the quilting supplies up in the attic as I had some issues with fingers and had to work(type). Maybe I can get that started again! We had so much fun yesterday. Mom did so well. We laughed all the way home and she is still asleep!
