CCR and Justin's Now A Varsity Basketball Coach

On Thursday morning I met Amy and Carolyn at 9:30 for our monthly shopping trip. Then we met Eileen and Julie for our monthly luncheon. We ate at The Venetian in Hillsboro. It was great. It used to be an old movie theater and now it is a very nice restaurant and bar plus a newly remodeled movie theater and performance center. Then at 4:00 I met the Lunch Bunch gals at The Roadhouse. We usually get together a couple of times a year. It was so nice to see everyone and especially Karen, who looks fantastic. So that was a fun day.

On Friday we dropped Sara (our dog) off at Scott and Julie's because they were nice enough to take care of her while we went to the beach to see Creedence Clearwater Survival. They were great but we didn't like the smoke in the casino. Guess that is the only place now days where smoking is allowed so smokers love to hang out there. After the performance (9:30 PM) we ate at the seafood buffet.......................I said we ate a buffet at 9:30 at night! Can you believe it?! I hate eating late and especially eating lots. OMG......................never again.

We got up on Saturday and went for a walk on the beach. It was nice, with no wind or rain. We then drove to Canby for Kyle's basketball tournament. We missed the first game since it was at 9:30 AM. Unfortunately, they lost both games. They will play two more tomorrow.

Justin is now the JV AND Varsity basketball coach at Echo. The head coach was "let go" so they asked Justin if he would take over. They only have 8 more games. The JV's won their games yesterday and today. I think they have only lost one game this season. The Varsity lost yesterday and WON today. They played their rival, Ione, at home. Ione has won their last 7 games so everyone was really excited Echo won. Congratulations to Justin for winning his first game as a Varsity coach. He said he was so proud of his boys because they played so hard.

Tomorrow I am going to a Celebration of Life ceremony for Eleanor. She passed away from cancer, just before Christmas. She was a super lady that will missed by so many. Then I will go to Kyle's basketball tournament in Canby.

We have another busy week ahead. Will write about it later. Hope all of you are having a great week. ( I know Shauna is..................she is in San Francisco!)

Love to you all,

JO
