The Pacific Northwest has a reputation as a rainy place. I think it’s a fairly earned reputation. For about the past week, it has done nothing but rain, with temperatures in the high 50s or low 60s. Hardly seems like summer over here on the coast, although they have heat waves across the coastal mountains in the Willamette Valley. But for us, just a lot of cool moisture. My sister Amy and her husband Rob came over to visit for a couple of days, I guess they wanted to escape the heat in Salem, and that they did. We had a nice evening after they arrived, with dinner in and then a walk along the coast of Depoe Bay. Not too much of a sunset because of the cloud cover. After the hike we watched a movie in the theatre room. I’ve talked about that in the past, but it’s a great feature of their house, with recliners, bean bag chairs, and usually an assortment of movie theatre candy, too. Plus there are several stores in town where they sell caramel corn. So we were all set to enjoy a showing...
