‘What are your summer plans — travel or otherwise?’
THE DAILY ASTORIAN // QUESTION OF THE WEEK
“We’re going to do a road
trip to Montana with
our great-nephew. Then
his sister will come and
spend a couple of weeks
in August, and we’ll play
tourist and go to the beach
and do lots of swimming.”
“Taking care of my son’s
dog, Lilly, while he’s in
Alaska. She is fantastic
— one of a kind. That
means she goes every-
where with us, and she’s
my best friend. She should
be a people.”
Cece Johnson, Astoria
Laurie Jones, Astoria
“Work, work, work.
Summer is the
busiest season for
us. We celebrate
our summers in the
winter.”
