Back to Life in Salem. It has been raining a lot – so when we saw a forecast of two rain free days – and warm weather Ron & I conspired to play hooky and head for the coast!
You must understand – for us – playing hooky is such a far out venture that the decision in itself made us giddy. Ron cancelled appointments and we took off – for a day off!
First through the Basket Refuge where we saw deer feeding on a hillside, a mature eagle sitting in a tree, two swans among thousands of geese and other water foul.
Then on to the Spirit Mountain Casino – where I read for an hour while Ron made an investment of $10.00 and returned with $94.00! That will pay for a nice lunch and gas!
The further South we went the more fog we saw on the Ocean – but we saw it – the Pacific Ocean! I love to visit the Ocean in the fall and I missed it this year due to our trip to Idaho.
South of Lincoln City we stopped for a wonderful sea food lunch at the famous "Mo's".
Then on to Newport to the Yaquina Head with lots of fog – pelicans and other sea creatures. Harbor Seals at the Head – and then once on the water front of Newport – California Sea Lions barking away.
Ron took a stroll onto the dock and bought two live crabs to take home with us.
Then it was home through Kings Valley with the beautiful fall colors – and a feast of Crab Louie!
Yesterday I painted my dried hydrangeas for Christmas decorations. Red and White with gold and silver sparkles promise a creative swag for my fire-place mantel.
Wish I had pictures to share but it appears I erased them!! Computers and Operators - Oh Well.
Happy Thanks Giving to all of our American friends and Love to all.

I just thought of you today and what a wonderful time we've always had at the beach. Must be a mental connection! Love Maria
It sounds like you had a great day! And you might be able to retrieve those pics from your recycle bin. Have you tried opening it and searching in there? Hope you find them!
