Carol's 74th

Carol's parents were excellent long range planners. We decided to come to Seaside to celebrate her birthday and the weather is absolutely beautiful.
We drove down on highway 30 coming through Astoria. There we found the greatest little place to eat where I got the best oyster stew I have eaten in years. Of course, it is the only oyster stew I have had in years. But it really was good. Lots of big pieces of oysters and not loaded down with lots of potatoes.Carol wasn't interested and had a burger.
Our hotel it a timeshare apartment--very reasonable--very nice.
So here's to Ray and Mary Simmons producers of the greatest woman and even on a sunny day at the beach.
