My mom and I spent three days on the Oregon coast at what we call "The Lot." We went to Manzanita and toured all the shops. Then we got ice cream cones and took them to the beach one block away. When we got to the beach we both had ice cream dripping down our hands. They were so big we couldn't keep up with them. We were laughing at each other so hard, it was very funny! The weather was beautiful, but it was too windy at the beach, so we went back to the lot and read books, played games, and ate! We had a great time, thanks Mom!!
I walked to the boat launch today and this is what I saw. Love the way the clouds are "resting" on the mountain.
The three houses that I want! When I was about 9 yrs old my older brother, John, took my younger brother, Dennis, and I for a boat ride. He dropped us off on this spot (before houses were there) and he told us it was an island and he left us there! I started crying and Dennis started making a shelter. We didn't realize at the time that the highway was right behind us!! He took us to the tackle store and bought us Hershey Bars so we wouldn't tell on him.... and it worked!
View from the bank. Even on an overcast day it's beautiful!
