food, crochet, merriment
This might look to you like a lovely summer evening by the beach…nice and warm and cozy. Ahhh, but you, my friends would be sadly mistaken. It was nice in town and in the house, but sincerely, down there by the water it was positively freezing. This is NOT SanDiego, or Florida or Hawaii.
This is Oregon and it’s a bit nippy out today.
And apparently, somebody let the crazy guys out.
Just accidentally pushed the “weight loss” button on the NordicTrack. YIKES.
*pant…pant…*
I lasted 10 whole minutes.
A little clapping please…a fluffy person has got to start somewhere.
Now I need a shower…
and a nap.

This was my pretty little room for the vacation. It was wonderful to wake up in cozy room with a hand made quilt on the bed. How’d they know we loved such things–and even in pink?
After breakfast, we hopped in the cars and headed out to the farm country. This reminds me of the Mother Goose rhyme~
One misty, moisty morning, when cloudy was the weather, I chanced to meet and old man clothed all in leather…”
As soon as we got closer to our destination, more and more fields of cows appeared. Yes, I know there are only a couple in this picture, but that’s because we were going really fast and all the other cow picture were blurry. Totally not my fault.
At last, at last! The cheese capitol of our own little world!
What a cute little farmer and his pretty little cow.
I took close up pictures of all the fun facts about cows and farming and cheese…just so I could read them and remember them later. I know, but it’s just the kind of nerd I am.
Dang fun to watch the cheese processing stuff…
and see alllll that cheese moving along the conveyor belts.
Those might not look like much but the blocks are actually HUGE. Don’t believe me?
Well I can prove it! These blocks weigh about 20 pounds!
Next, downstairs to the taste testing area. I even tasted the kinds with peppers in it. It was a brave day.
Ice cream an important part of your healthy day.
Our great huge purchase from the cheese shop. YUM!
It was wonderful I tell you.
