 Morning everybody. It is just before 10 a.m. sometime on Sunday. We are checking out in about an hour. It's finally raining like we were expecting it to all weekend honestly, but that's okay. We brought umbrellas and we're going to go for a quick walk up down the promenade before we leave and then we're going to be driving down the coast towards Tillamook and Kate Mears and we're going to see what we can see and I'll bring you with us where we can and I'll be back. Hey guys we stopped at Kate Mears at the lighthouse. We've been here before but I'll bring you with us. It's a really beautiful view. Of course it's damp and drizzly but you know it's Oregon, land of much water so I don't know what to tell you. I'll be back. This is Kate Mears. This is the Kate Mears Lighthouse. We have been here before. I'd recommend it for a quick stop. It would be nice if it was clear and not windy and on me. Can you see that back there? Anyway I'm going to take some still shots to do some art from so I'll be back. Good morning everybody. It is Monday morning, May 16th I think. 9 12 a.m obviously where I'm in the car. In case you didn't know we're back home from the coast from our quick weekend away. We got home late last late yesterday and we had so much fun you guys. Found this cute little fish and chips place in Lincoln City that was oh so much fun. You know I'm backing up and I don't see anything back there and big surprise there's that um garbage truck because it's garbage Monday. I think he almost hit me. So anyway um we had so much fun this last weekend it was really a lot of fun. So if you're not a patron and supporter of the content here on YouTube Facebook art groups and all that other stuff you don't have to be the content's still here regardless but if you are a supporter I do appreciate you very very much and I have started giving said supporters raw unedited clips as they happen of things that I do like weekends away with pictures and artwork that I'm doing while I'm there. I have an upcoming not a whole weekend just a day where we're going to be going to the art museum in Portland and we're going to be touring the art museum plus my daughter got me to get to the Frida Kahlo exhibit.
