June 10th

This morning I had to work until 1:00PM, and then it was time for us to do something that we needed to do.  First the weather has been really pretty good the last few days, other than the wind it has been great.  We are hoping that come tomorrow the wind is not blowing so hard and we will head out for a ride in the dunes.  The sand really is smooth and I am looking forward to the ride.  I think we may even try taking Turbo out with us.  I hope that will not be a mistake.  We hope he likes riding with us.  Cyndy thinks taking Turbo I will not get to crazy out there.

Now back to what we wanted to do this afternoon, we have been trying to find a place that can serve a good bowl of clam chowder.  So off to Florence we went looking for a great bowl of clam chowder.  What a great drive the sun is out and the wind is still blowing!!!! 

When we got to Florence we went to Fred Meyer’s to see if they had any sockeye salmon, as always we were late.  They had closed down the fishing in Alaska and they sold the last fish about 20 minutes ago.  Oh well, they had Halibut so we got 4 pounds of it instead.  Sure miss going to Alaska and fishing for fresh Halibut, maybe next year if not for sure in 2015.  I think we are going to head up there in late May and stay through the Sockeye run in July on the Kenya River.  Its nice to dream about a trip like that and I know we will be going again very soon.

Ok, we were in Florence to find a good, no great bowl of Chowder.  So we went to our favorite place MO’s, and had a big bowl of chowder.  The only place we have found that you at least get potatoes and clams, along with a little bacon and onions in the soup and have it nice and creamy base.  It was almost as good as mine, I am going to have to break down and make a pot of chowder this next week. 

All I have left to say is hope you had a great day also!!!!
