Yesterday Salem reached a record high, but thanks to an invitation from friends, we came home after church and potluck, changed clothes, grabbed towels, leashes, buckets, and some food, and took off for the coast. Judging from the traffic, lots of other people had the same idea, but the destination was worth it (and I had a Turkish spindle to keep me occupied in the car :-). As we drove, we watched the temperature drop from 101 to 56 degrees; what relief!
Our friends have a favorite secluded spot, tucked along side a shallow, fresh-water stream where the kids can safely play. We romped in the sand, walked to the ocean, visited, shared our food, and ended the Sabbath with songs around the campfire.
Jackson and Dozer were both model citizens, cordial to strange humans and dogs, sticking close, enjoying good romps. I got a few pictures in spite of sporadically returning "magenta haze" and dying batteries.
Thankful for the blessed respite at . . .
