A Perfect NW Day

I had a hankerin for the beach that I finally satisfied. It was a perfect day. There's nothing better than the sound of a stormy beach. The wind blowing, the waves crashing, the rain pelting your face like tiny daggers. Aaahhh. I love this place! Cannon Beach was the destination this trip. Oddly enough, there weren't many people on the beach. And this week is Oregon's Spring Break. I realize the tourists don't venture out on rainy days, but where were all the Oregonians? Weather doesn't usually stop us. Especially when it's just wet. I prefer having the beach to myself, I just wasn't expecting it.
I went on a hike to another beach and realized how long it has been since I have had a good soaking hike. It is an invigorating feeling. Some people might say cold, miserable, soggy, etc. To those people I say, "Wuss!" The perfect end to a beach day is a bread bowl of chowder at Mo's. And it tastes best when one is soaking wet and cold. It was delicious.
The best part of the day was when I spotted a blow from a grey whale. It's a little past whale migration, so I was a little surprised, but delighted. Funny how, even though the whale has no clue I am there it makes me feel like we are connected. A purely human perception, but it was comforting. I look forward to my friend from Missoula, MT coming for a visit and spending a week camping on the coast.

Gotta love Portland

Wasn't it Marlena who was posessed?????

Who'd have thought a man would have gone after John?

We can blame this on the rain, too, can't we?

Lucky Christmas

Check this out!!!! I received some scratch-its for Christmas. One of them was a fifty dollar winner. I didn't quite believe it until I had the cash in my hands. I never win on lottery tickets. I am very unlucky when it comes to gambling of any kind. In fact, I think I won because someone else actually chose the ticket. My luck is that my boyfriend has lucky relatives.

KUDOS TO DEAN AND RON

CAUTION

I hear blogging is addictive. I am all about my addictions, but I am lazy most of all. To all of you or none of you who accidentally find my blog, and decide to look it up again, don't expect too much. Chances are I will shortly get bored and never post again. But it'll be fun while it lasts. Welcome, and realize I am just learning how to do this and things will look better over time.
