A Day at the Beach...

Hello Everyone!


I know, I've been gone for awhile, as in gone from updating my blog in almost a month!  Geeze, how time flies when life gets in the way.  My husband and I just celebrated our 29th anniversary last week so we decided to take a much needed mini vacation to the beach.  We had a perfect room on the beach, right in front of Haystack Rock.


Although it did rain most of the time, we had a few sun breaks that were really nice.
The wind was really blowing...



I think Sammy had more fun walking on the beach than I did.


But no matter what the weather is like, the Oregon coast is always beautiful.


And speaking of weather, we woke up at 6:00 this morning to the most brightest lightning and the loudest thunder I have ever heard.  Freaked us out! Didn't expect that to happen at the beach.
We ate so much delicious fresh seafood. And for the first time, tried deep fried Avocado spears...Delicious!
And of course I had to get a little antique shopping in.  I came home with some nice treasures that will of course, be going in to my space at Monticello.  One of my most favorite finds is a circa 1910 child's leather chaise lounge.  It is amazing!  You can kinda see it in this picture...


Sam is using it for a pillow. This picture was taken on the ride home.  He was so tired from running around all day.  I'll take a better shot of it when I get it in to Monticello.


All in all, we had a great time in the rain, wind, and sun and we're already planning our next trip.

Play time is over and now, it's time to get back to work and start working on this...


Make your plans for this one...
it's going to be spectacular!


Thanks for checking in on me!
