Day 214 – The Tiny Sea Lion Caves Fork and Spoon

The best summer vacations I can remember were spent at Neskowin on the Oregon coast. My parents and all of their friends would gather every summer (or at least it seemed like every summer) and there would be eating, swimming, sand castle building, mini golf on the beach, whiffle ball tournaments, and birthday celebrations. All the adults drank fancy cocktails and everyone was happy.

At some point on each trip, we would go to the Pixie Kitchen for dinner, Yachats for agate collecting, and Sea Lion Caves to see the sea lions. 

One one of those trips (I’m gonna guess 1978), I picked up this tiny fork and spoon set from the tacky little gift shop at Sea Lion Caves. 

Day 20 – The Trees of Mystery Fork

Oh, sorry, were you expecting a spoon? Well, today you get a fork.

But hey, it’s the best fork. It’s from The Trees of Mystery in California. This fork absolutely has the potential to make America great again.

I know, I know. You say you didn’t want a fork; you wanted a spoon. Get used to disappointment. If it makes you feel any better, this used to be part of a set: a fork AND a spoon. I don’t know what happened to the spoon. Maybe the Russians took it? Maybe ask the GOP if they used it to dismantle the ACA? Sad.

I dunno. I’ll get back to posting spoons tomorrow when I’m done protesting.
