Aug 19-23
       
While in Salem we stayed at our friends Ron and Sally's place since they were not there.  You can see Punkin head made himself at home!  He slept in the truck at night and was outside most of the day staked out in the back yard but at this moment he's loving this chair.  Thank goodness we had time to go to dinner with my cousin Clayton and his wife Lan.  We went to our favorite Chinese Buffet.  Flowers are in our friends, Loretta and John's, yard they were so pretty they just begged me to come take their picture.
      
On our way out of town we stopped by their house to say goodbye.  They were kind to us and fed us scrumptous bacon and tomato sandwiches, what a treat.  The tomatos were home grown and so delicious, they even sent some with us.  Yum!  Billy woke me up from a sound nap to see this cute car as we were driving down the freeway, it was cute and worth it.  A long shot at a favorite house in Drain that I have taken pictures  before of.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  
       
A cute church in Scottsburg and the Conde McCullough Memorial Bridge near Coos Bay.  The yellow house is just a neat house in North Bend, guess I like that little porch upstairs.  The next house has a very interesting roof on it the way they did the shingles is different, it also is in North Bend.

     
And this house might sell for more money if it had a nice paint job!  The Paridise Cafe is our favorite place to eat in Port Orford and these little baby birds were just about to leave the nest.  There were 4 of them.  They were under the eave and we could see them from our table in the cafe.  We had to make a trip down to Gold Beach about 27miles away so I snapped a few pictures on the way.  I just love the ocean and enjoy the coastline.
       
These 4 are all as we were coming into Gold Beach, looks like the fishing was good or there was a turnament that day.  The last was taken upstream from the bridge.
                                                        
That is Port Orford in the distance.  We just had to go over to the beach and take Punkin head with us.  He was so daring he walked right along the edge and peared over and would jumped right over had I not pulled him back!
     
He acts like he ready to go somewhere or something.  Saying our goodbyes to Jeff, owner of the Camp Blanco RV park, and his daughter and to our friend Susan who is a writer and painter.  We will miss her and someday we will go back to that park in our travels and perhaps she will still be there.  And lastly Billy is pulling our 5th wheel out and we left that day the 24th headed for Mississippi.  More on that trip later.
