HOT HOT HOT!! Shipments delayed...

We live in Portland, Oregon, but grew up in Oklahoma, so we're used to hot summers. However, we've been spoiled since we moved here in 2006. I was reading the local online newspaper here the other day - and found it amazing that in the last 20 years, it has only hit 100 degrees in July 14 times. Only 6 times in August and 4 times in June. Wow. Before we moved here, I remember having 30+ straight days of 100+ degree weather. So this week's weather is definitely out of the norm. It was 100 yesterday, 107 today and is forecast to be 105 tomorrow.

We moved here in December 2006 - it never crossed our mind to check our house for AIR CONDITIONING!!! Guess what - the house does not have air conditioning...
So here I sit in a hotel room because it is 88 degrees inside our house. Yuk. Since we run our business from our sauna (home), we aren't cutting any fabric for the next few days while it stays above 100 (it would literally be a "sweat" shop). Orders will be processed in the order that they have been received. We apologize for the delay - but it is miserable here right now!!

Astoria, Oregon

So we traveled to Astoria, Oregon for the first time over July 4th. We went to the Astoria Column - and what magnificent views all around from up there!

Simply climb 164 stairs, and voila!

We found it amazing that the river is over 4 miles wide here - that makes for a long bridge!.

The next day, we drove north across the bridge, and drove to Cape Disappointment, saw a few lighthouses, and this neat little place called dead man's cove:
