On Friday, August 21, my parents and I headed to Oregon. This was the second trip to Oregon for my Mom and I in the month of August. Our destination was a family reunion in Sweet Home, Oregon.<\/p>\n

Of course no road trip would be complete without a shopping stop. We stopped to stretch our legs and do a little looking at the Outlet Mall in Woodburn, Oregon. Lucky for us this mall is visible from I-5 and so handy to get to. http:\/\/www.woodburncompanystores.com\/index.html<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> The flowers at this mall were gorgeous. This pink “tree” was actually cleverly arranged petunias.
\"\"<\/a> Although Sweet Home is not that large – population 8,016, we found very clean and comfortable accommodations in the Sweet Home Inn. http:\/\/www.ci.sweet-home.or.us\/<\/a><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/a> This was a nearby barber \/ hairdresser shop. Someone has done a great job at trimming the bush out front in an appropriate shape for this business.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/a>We found several murals decorating the sides of the buildings as we headed through the main street.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And of course no trip would be complete without a visit to the local quilt shop. We spied a sign that said “fabric” on the way to the reunion on Saturday morning. Since we had some time, we made a stop. This is a picture of Seamingly Creative, 1245 Main St., Sweet Home, Oregon 97386. If you are in the neighbourhood, I would encourage you to stop by.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> I found the cutest little pair of embroidery scissors and a wonderful fat quarter collection. The fabric was very reasonably priced at this shop–my 10 fall coloured fat quarters only cost me $12. (The thimble says, “Portland” on it and was a purchase I made on my previous trip to Oregon.)<\/p>\n

We had a great time at the reunion. This was my first time meeting my Langdon relatives. I hope this will be only the first of many more opportunities to get together with this branch of the family tree.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
