Beverly, back from nine glorious days at the Oregon coast. About 25 years ago, we bought a lot in Lincoln City - with an ocean view - but later sold it to buy some other property here. We loved to go there for vacations, but the distance is just a bit impractical. The Oregon coast is wonderful. -- Joanne stitches @ singerlady.reno.nv.us.earth.milky-way.com http://members.tripod.com/~bernardschopen/ |

We rented a six-person "surrey", and had a ton of fun. Played on the beach. Shopped. Rode the Bumper Cars. Toured the Aquarium and fed the Harbor Seals. Shopped. Rented recumbent bikes for the youngsters. Ate Pronto Pups. Shopped. Watched Jim Kingwell at IceFire Glassworks blow amazing art glass. Shopped. Drove to Gearhart just because.... ;-) I much prefer Cannon Beach for galleries and shopping, but my absolutely favorite *beach* is Tolovana, south of Cannon Beach proper. http://www.oregonstateparks.org/park_199.php DH and I spent many wonderful holidays there with our group of friends in our halcyon days. Ah, the memories... Beverly |

I was driving through Coos Bay early one morning, somewhat foggy, passed a farm, you know, a barn, a fence, a pasture. I glanced over into the pasture and saw the UGLIEST cow I've ever seen. Just ugly. Scrawny, legs too long, and a great big jaw. When I did the double take, I saw it was a female moose. Too early in the morning for that crap. -- ------------------------- "Work like no one is watching, Dance like you've never been hurt, and Love like you don't need the money" \ =8{B \ |

Too early in the morning for that crap. Male mooses are known to get confused, as well, and fall in love with cows, cars, most anything. Much like human male adolescents, come to think of it.... -- Joanne stitches @ singerlady.reno.nv.us.earth.milky-way.com http://members.tripod.com/~bernardschopen/ |

Ah, the memories... Beverly Glad to hear you managed to squeeze in a little shopping. ;-) What we liked about Lincoln City, among other things, was that the motels were actually apartments - with full kitchens, often with living room and fireplace, too. It was great to take the kids and have rooms, beds, space, and a place for some meals. I don't know if it's still the same now or not, or if other resorts along the coast have the same sort of accommodations. -- Joanne stitches @ singerlady.reno.nv.us.earth.milky-way.com http://members.tripod.com/~bernardschopen/ |

Emily I've been back to a Cajun music camp in Elkins, WV a few years running. Those rolling green hills are beautiful, and the storms remind me of Louisiana, in a good way. It just ain't raining unless the drops are falling horizontally. |

Glad to hear you managed to squeeze in a little shopping. ;-) Broked the budget, I did! I just could not leave the IceFire Glassworks without one of their beautiful pieces (it will be a Christmas gift to DD). Went to Jeffrey Hull's Gallery: http://www.hullgallery.com/ Fell in love with one of his originals, but waaaaaaay past my means. But he had a couple of beautiful artist proof prints of the area just north of Cannon Beach, they insisted on following me home. A print of Haystack Rock at William Steidel's gallery was so similar to the one DH and I bought mumble years ago (but which has now faded badly), that it made it's way into my collection, too. And the neat little quilting shop next to IceFire has amazing prints, and buttons, and an astonishing needle threader gadget. ;-) Oh! And a unique kaleidoscope: two wheels covered with colored glass chips at the far end can be spun independently, producing the most astonishing effect. (I collect kaleidoscopes.) At a glass shop in Gearhart, just could not resist a handblown paperweight which incorporated a burgundy jellyfish. And genuine salt water taffy at Bruce's Candy Kitchen in Cannon Beach. And some silver Celtic knot earrings, and.....;-} I actually found Christmas gifts for almost everyone in the family. My DGC surprised me with a T-shirt which said "This is What a Cool Grandma Looks Like". ;-D What we liked about Lincoln City, among other things, was that the motels were actually apartments - with full kitchens, often with living room and fireplace, too. It was great to take the kids and have rooms, beds, space, and a place for some meals. I don't know if it's still the same now or not, or if other resorts along the coast have the same sort of accommodations. We located a small house a half block off the beach, two bedrooms plus a pull-out couch, fully equipped kitchen, washer and dryer, TV with VCR, DVD player, and (yuck) satellite dish. Really everything we wanted with the exception of a second bathroom. Five people, one bathroom.... you can do the math. They had done a major upgrade to the place, though and it was very nice. We brought groceries and ate almost all of our meals at the house. No fireplace, but we would not have used it if there had been one. It was one of those very rare weeks when the temperature at the northern Oregon coast was in the mid-eighties most days. And they had some games, the entire family played Scrabble *for the first time ever*. What fun. My DD found the owners on Craigslist. Very reasonable, and lovely people to deal with. Beverly |
