It was a beautiful Oregon summer day. I tore out the old lettuce and cilantro which had seen better days. I planted new lettuce and spinach starts. I got myself cleaned up and went to the post office to mail Jane’s book to Brooke in Montana. Then, I picked up my friend Reva and we met up with Beth and Terry at the Oregon College of Arts and Craft for lunch at their wonderful cafe which makes great home style lunch fare. We had hoped to see the exhibit in the gallery, but they were installing a new show today. We had a great time sitting in the sun and talking.

I dropped Reva at home and picked up Mr C and we drove out to our local mall and did some shopping for our trip back east. I found some great deals (40, 50 and 60% off). We stopped at the big box pet store and stocked up on goodies for Scooter to enjoy while we are gone.

I finally made it into the studio tonight and made another black/red study for the Sketchbook Project.

I also started the satin stitching on the aspens. It is boring and tedious, but I turn the tv up nice and loud and stitch away!

It was a great day. Hope you had one, too.
