Happy Saturday

The Oregon coast is stunning in the summer, but I adore it in the winter. Cold, windy & no one on the beach. The clouds, fog & waves almost blend together!

We had to be up early yesterday (5:00), but were on the beach by late afternoon. It was worth it! We'll be enjoying our time together for a few days, and then heading to my parents on Christmas Eve.

Two boys + a frisbee = bliss. . .





I hope you each find ways to celebrate, in whatever way that means to you. For us, it was going for a walk on the beach, flying kites, bundling up & then drinking hot tea out of flasks, playing games with the kids, & lots of laughs. Followed up by spaghetti & meatballs at home (with an amazing bottle of wine for the adults.) Feeling super blessed.

  5. I'd much rather be at the coast than in Portland when the skies are gray. Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and happy, healthy and prosperous New Year!

    1. I love the coast. Today is a snuggle up kind of day. I've had a terrible cold for a few day, but did bring a few workout DVDs, so I'm going to try & get some exercise, even though we'll all be inside most of the day. It will be that, Rummy, Yahtzee & puzzles, & I'll work on the final prep for tomorrow.

      Happy holidays to you & your family. Wishing you a wonderful time together!
