Pictures from Home

Great Shot by Jackie Schiaf for a post card. Shore Acres State Park, Coos Bay, Oregon.

I thought I would share where my heart is lingering. This is where we moved from, and I am missing it. I could not get a better picture than this post card. Our place was off the card in the lower right corner.
Another favorite place, there are lots of these.

It was a bit foggy but a great drive.

My friend of 40+ years,,Joan,,went this last weekend, and made me think of our trip for a week on the beach last May. I took a few dozen loaves of bird bread to feed the seagulls, she could skip feeding the gulls, but Joan is very giving , and helped me to get rid of the massive over purchase at the bakery outlet,,as she knows I love feeding them. I did miss you Joan,,it doesn't seem right my not being there with you. We have been friends and beach bums together for so long,,,the stories we could tell...like skipping school to go to the beach...running out of gasoline...going south and thinking it was north...well, it was dark...and we were what 16, and goofy. We put allot of miles on my first car. I do not regret a minute of our excursions. This is a picture of Joan from last May.

My husband carved our initials on that sign, and the bench is a great place to watch the waves crash upon the lava, and you can get wet if the conditions are right (like the first photo). My backside has kept that bench warm more times than I can remember. Its an amazing spot, its our spot, our bench,,and I imagine many others say the same thing. It is a good place to watch the sunset go down. I guess I need a beach fix, and a friend fix, an Oregon fix. The sounds, the smell of it. I am getting used to Alabama, but it's not the same,,no,,not at all.
