I’m short and short waisted and my SO is very tall and lanky. All our clothing needs tailoring. These books make knitting to our unique bodies that much easier. Truly, thank you. 🧶

Yeah it’s a federal directive for the US flag to fly at half staff until the 14th for Kirk. US flag code requires all other flags to be lower than the US flag, so everything is half staff until 14th.

My trip planning resources:
* SF Chronicle’s Hwy 1 guide:
www.sfchronicle.com/projects/tra...
* Oregon & Washington’s Roadside Ecology by Roddy Scheer
* CA’s Best Nature Walks by Charles Hood
* Moon Pacific Coast Hwy Road Trip
* nerdy roadside geology & ecology

Some people really enjoy it! It just wasn’t our thing. I’m originally from MN and dairy production isn’t very novel for me and my mom, and my partner is lactose intolerant. My energy was pretty low and the crowds were Too Much. 🤷🏼‍♀️ YMMV. The OG Pronto Pup place up the road was neat though!

Don’t bother:
* Trees of Mystery, specifically the “museum” unless you want to be reminded of how indigenous peoples were represented by colonial curators in the 60s
* Tillamook Creamery, unless you’re really excited by lines and dairy

High points:
* Oyster farm tour at Hog Island Oyster
* Salmon & lox at Josephson’s in Astoria, OR
* Gracie’s Sea Hag in Depoe Bay, OR (and the taffy shop down the street)
* Harris Beach State Park in OR has the best sunset views
* Founder’s Grove trail in Humboldt Redwoods St Park

We had a few small goals for our trip: find the best chowder, the best salt water taffy, and a good beach for a picnic + flying a kite. We ate our way up the coast and went on several day hikes. It was great premise for a trip and was so much better than I expected.

Avenue of the Giants. It’s a scenic byway and absolutely gorgeous. My partner and I did a SF=> Cape Disappointment road trip with my mom in Sept. The whole trip was incredible. Are you planning on camping or staying in hotels?

I also missed the Smartfood of old. Fwiw the closest replacement I found was making my own popcorn and using this topping: nuts.com/cookingbakin...

Adorable! Here’s a picture of lil baby Akira for you. She was a handful at this age but the photo manages to bring me a bit of peace and calm.

There is no labeler on this platform more useful than this one.

I’ve been slowly making friends with the two CA scrub jays who frequent our backyard. They have so much personality!
