Columbia Ocean

September 8, 2023

Weekends often find Hunter dropping in to visit his dad for as much time as is allowed between Friday night and Sunday at noon. This particular Saturday morning, Hunter took Don for a walk around the block where our house is located 100 yards from the Pacific Ocean. At 8:00 pm, in the middle of an Oregon State football game, Don wanders up to my office where I watch TV through streaming services and headphones.

Don: I’ve got sore legs from walking.

Kristy: That was a successful effort today, on your part, to get out walking.

Don: I never thought I would see the ocean from my home on the Columbia River.

Kristy: I’m pretty sure you are the only one.

Note to Self: If that tent was his house, then maybe he did see the ocean from his house on the river.
