Safe landings on windy runways
New (to me) restaurants in airport terminals
Goofy mascots welcoming me back
Peaceful mornings at Mom's
in Little Whale Cove
in Little Whale Cove
Oceanfront hotels with million-dollar views
Early morning walks with only the seagulls
Crashing waves against rocky cliffs
Rooms with views and a delicious Cab
Mornings with nothing to do
but gaze at the sea
but gaze at the sea
Fish tacos and rainy afternoons
Favorite brews in new restaurants
And, in-flight programming on flights home.
Happy Sunday, friends.
What are you grateful for this week?
It looks like you had a lovely trip!
ReplyDeleteIt was a wonderful trip. My first solo trip with my mom!
DeleteSo I guess this means you had a great vacation? Welcome back ;-)
ReplyDeleteIt was lovely, JoAnn. This was my first trip alone with my mom and we had such a nice time. Very good seafood, beautiful scenery, and lots of great conversations.
DeleteSo much to be grateful for!
ReplyDeleteYes, indeed!
DeleteI am grateful for perfect Spring weather in Georgia and also feeling like I am somewhere else by reading a blog like yours! Happy for your nice trip, Les!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind words, Kay.
DeleteSpeaking of perfect spring weather, you'd get a laugh out of ours. It was 82 and beautiful on Saturday. Sunday, we awoke to showers (we got 1 1/2 inches), followed by a drop in temps down to 32, followed by snow showers. It's currently 28 degrees! Sigh. ;)
Looks like you've had a great trip! Right now I'm trying to be grateful for all of the rain we're getting today. I know we need it but I sure don't appreciate the cold that came with it!
ReplyDeleteIt was a wonderful trip. I do so love Oregon!
DeleteYesterday's rain was wonderful (my rain gage says we got 1 1/2 inches!), but the snow was not at all welcome! Nor were the colder temps. Ugh!
Oh, Les, I've never been to Oregon but I sure love what I see! Glad you made it back safely, and it looks like you had a wonderful time. xo
ReplyDeleteYou would love it, Meredith. Lots of beautiful views of trees, mountains and the ocean. And, yes. I had a wonderful time with my mom. It was perfect. Can't wait to head back at the end of May.
DeleteYour trip looked wonderful!
ReplyDeleteIt was! We head back at the end of May for my stepdad's memorial. The weather should be lovely by then.
DeleteWhat a great way to look back on your trip! The view at your mom's looks especially peaceful though I could stare out at the ocean for hours. One day I'd love to travel back to Oregon and really explore the state.
ReplyDeleteWe've really enjoyed getting to experience Oregon over the years since my folks moved there from California in the late 90s. As much as I love an ocean view, I love where my mom's house sits, nestled in amongst all those trees and shrubs with the sunlight filtering in through the branches. It's just a short little walk to the bluff, so she really has the best of both worlds.
