A Visit With Susan and an Antique Fair

 On the drive to North Bend, we needed to stop so Cary could go into the trailer for his spare pair of sunglasses; the lens had fallen out of the others. Somehow he was able to save the screw and we repaired them later. But I was glad to capture this beautiful view looking south.

I always like to see what new things Susan has created or found for her garden--isn't this bundt pan planter amazing? She has beautiful flowers every year. 

 Cary brought her a milking can and she gave him two oil cans, what a deal! She will put plants in the milking can. I guess his oil can will go into the garage.

 Here we are among the flowers!

Susan invited us for supper: salmon, a pumpkin and salmon quiche, kale chips and three kinds of berries with greek yogurt for dessert--yummy! We were served on a vintage linen table cloth, and sat on chairs she found at a thrift shop and recovered herself. Cute kitties on the fabric!

 We always feel as though we have been to a wild animal park after our visit here. Deer, turkeys, blue jays, squirrels, chipmunks and finches are frequent visitors (despite the things she does to chase some of them away)!

 Early the next morning (very early) we got up and started on our way to an antique fair in Brownsville, about a three-hour drive away! Susan picked up her friend Bobbi (not sure if I have the spelling...) in Eugene and met us there. What a wonderful place. I got a few little things, including a well-marked salt and pepper shaker for Cary who frequently can't remember which is which at our house!

 It is really impossible to get the full picture of how many vendors turn out for this event, but I am sure I didn't see it all.

Cary managed to tear himself away from the antiques to wander over to the car show nearby.

 This was pretty cute too!
We found a place to have lunch in a nearby town and thought we could drive straight home from there

 but a few yard sales, a thrift store, a car lot...

another herd of elk

and this beauty for sale in Reedsport delayed our return trip by just a little bit. Cary is now dozing on the sofa.
