Christmas Eve on the Oregon Coast

I don’t know how close I came to not seeing this amazing sight out of pure unromantic stubbornness, but thank goodness it didn’t happen.

South to the North Coast

The trails allow visitors to experience this spectacular old-growth rainforest from the inside.

I keep finding new reasons to talk about this place because it’s JUST SO AMAZING.

I’ve been wanting to see some Roller Derby since I moved here.

To my delight, the positive changes yesterday were more than I had anticipated.

I received my very first blogger award nomination last week, from appletonavenue. It’s the Sisterhood of the World Bloggers Award.

Here are the completed fired pieces I talked about in my last post.

There’s a great little shop within walking distance of the house, called Pottery Fun, that’s silly and simple and easy, and yes, fun.

From now on, when I see a new one, I’ll be grateful for the reminder to engage with my life while I am living it.

Memories are wonderful to me. That’s why I’ve kept a journal since I was 7 years old.
