Ken turned 64 today, and a beautiful day it was! We strolled around the waterfront and Old Town Florence, checking out the historical buildings and the little shops. The sun shone on the water, and the rhododendron blossoms caught our eye everywhere we looked. This weekend is the annual "Rhody Days" and car show in Florence, but we're heading over to Eugene tomorrow. We have our choice of things to do in the Eugene area--too many choices, actually. We're planning to attend a show tomorrow night in honor of the birthday boy.
 The highway from the south enters Florence across one of the many bridges along the Oregon coast. |  Not all of Old Town's original buildings have survived. There's not much left of the restaurant that once sat here over the Siuslaw river. |
 Beautiful rhododendrons are found all over town |  The old man's sexy wife caught him grinning at her. |
In lieu of birthday cake tonight we had hot fudge brownie sundaes, one of Ken's favorites. We're in a poor cell phone reception area, but Ken got some birthday wishes in his voicemail and some cute e-cards and e-mails. It was good to hear from friends and family. Our snail mail chases us, so it will be next week before he gets any mail.
We did the laundry today. Somehow bathing Sweetie just didn't fit into the day, so she's escaped one of her least favorite activities, at least for today.
I finally made a decision about which GPS unit to buy and placed an order for it and for accessories. Taking advantage of having Chris's address available for deliveries over the next month, I ordered some shoes and a couple of other items too.
