Reunion

MVHS All-Class Reunion was finally held at a time when I was free to go, and I visited my hometown for the first time in a very long time.

South Jetty at South Beach SP

On our last day at the beach, we played in the sunshine.

Downtown Newport, Oregon

Tara introduced me to the darling little Pacific coastal town of Newport, Oregon.

Cape Perpetua

Who knew earthquakes are what crafted so much beauty?

Mother’s Day in May

When it rains too much to work in the yard, I am forced to do other things, like catch up on overdue blog posts.

Olympic & Kalama McMenamins

We chose a couple of McMenamins close to home so we could enjoy a night out and return quickly.

Millard Falls and Home

California’s Central Valley is about 450 miles long and I drove through them all.

Completing the Loop

If I went back home through California, my road trip would make a loop.

Friends in Phoenix

Visiting with friends, and following friends’ recommendations, brought us to some pretty neat experiences.

Superstitions

They may be among the most-appropriately named mountains, based on the amount of gossip, legends, mysterious happenings, and bald superstitions that revolve around them.
