We got up about 7 again, played games, and then went down to breakfast. It was very good. The waffles were under cooked, the potatoes were awful, the OJ was empty, and the toaster didn't work. Oh well.
After breakfast we took Abby to the beach. This time she got to run free. Overall we walked a mile and a half while Abby did 3 or 4 times that. I was an idiot though and didn't bring the GPS. Abby did great. She always came back, didn't try to eat or drink anything, pointed lots of birds, and immediately obeyed the few commands I gave her.
When we were done at the beach I texted Patty. She said to come over between noon and 1. That gave us time to go back to the factory stores and do some some shopping on our own. I bought a new pair of shoes. Last night John pointed out that mine were past worn out. Ellen bought two pairs. I also got a new raincoat while Ellen got a shirt. I looked for light shorts, but didn't find any I liked. Abby behaved much better. She had her collar and I zapped her once.
We showed up at John and Patty's about 1. Eric and family were at their hotel with the kids having a nap. The four of us continued our talking. Abby and their dogs had made peace yesterday. It was nice to have them all in the same room with no barking.
About 4 Eric called to say that they wanted to have dinner at McMinnamen's. We all met there and had a fine time. It was made finer by the happy hour priced drinks. After that everyone went back to the beach house for more talk. Eric's kids provided entertainment.
Eventually Eric and family left. We continued talking until after 9. Then we said our goodbyes. John and Patty were returning to Beaverton early in them morning. We went home and payed games for a short while before going to bed.
