Summer hellos from California! I?ve done all the laundry and recovered from vacation. This weekend I?ll be spending at home, attending a BBQ and taking a drive to the coast on Sunday to buy seafood from the local fishermen since it?s salmon season, one of the perks of living near the coast!
Next week it?s back to full time work and monitoring the progress of our flip house project. I have plans to visit Portland at the end of the month and I?ll be driving the Oregon coast home on my return. Please send any recommendations for vistas, cafes, or unique not-to-miss spots my way!
