May 9th

First of I would like to wish all the MOM's out there a very Happy Mothers Day!!!
Today we took our time getting moving this morning, retirement is a rough life.  After having breakfast and walking the dog's we headed out for Ilwaco to see what is going on at the Farmers Market.  There was not much fresh food but we did find some asparagus that was a good price, it was good with dinner tonight.

 There was a lot of artist showing there wears, and some food vendors also.  What I couldn't help noticing was how empty the boat basin was.

  In another month this place should be hopping with more fishing boats.  We priced the crabs and they are up to over $10.00 a pound now.  I still have shrimp in the freezer, so I will skip the crab for now.  After walking around the water front here we headed out for our favorite place to get sea food, Oysterville. It is on the Willabay Bay side of Long Beach.  One of the things that make this place so interesting is the old homes that are here.

 This is the oldest chruch on the peninsula.  Here are some of the homes you can see here.

 They keep these homes looking so good.

While we are here we might as well get a couple of pounds of butter clams, they are so good.  They will go good with the asparagus we bought earlier today. They have Oysters also but today we are just getting the butter clams.  I want to let you know they were good for dinner tonight.

On our way back Spike is getting along with us real good.

Spike and Turbo each like looking out the window while we are heading down the road.

After a rough day the pup's are dog tired, and take advantage of Cyndy.  Well time to finish this so I can finish watching the rain delayed race tonight, GO KANE!!!!
