This is a Test



Testing to see if this really works..........

White Water Coast Guard Training......









Its tough to see the boat, but it is parallel with the line of type. There are actually two of them. If you stare at the picture long enough, you can see it.













The guys with the two-way radios stay warm and dry inside this huge SUV. Its exciting to us that they do so many operations in front of our house!

Look Who Came To Newport >>>>>>>>>>







Little ole' Newport gets on the map in this wild and crazy campaign year. In fact, the Democrats seem to be visiting here often.

He is a born speaker......told the crowd exactly what they wanted to hear. Spoken like a true politician!

My Cozy corner >>>>>>>>>>>>

I put my creations in this teeny tiny space at the Rec Center for the first "arts and crafts" show. This is supposed to be the first Saturday each month. Well, this Saturday was "Loyalty Days". There were a total of six customers......IN FIVE HOURS.......But I did sell, one chapstick holder, one cozy, and one bookmark. (They were sold to my friends) But, I still went home with more money than I started with............................Hope the Saturday Market calls me soon, or my big business will be over before it started.

Luncheon...






There was a fundraiser for the senior center. We were supposed to wear loud things. My friend, Joyce, wore a striking wig..........












These guys were our servers. They also posed nude in this years calendar. They had "props" in all the conspicuous places. They were gracious enough to sign some of the ladies calendars. All in good fun!

Our Old Beach......







Kurt wanted to trudge down this mountain for the driftwood we need to finish up our "island" of flowers.












Getting down is no problem.......lol
Climbing up is absolutely no fun at all. Now we remember why we don't come here any more......














As usual, look who has the most fun at the beach. We finally had a few days of nice SUNNY weather.

Fogart y Creek State Park~~~~~~~






Finally, we stopped in at this park. Oregon really does a nice job with their state parks. We took the dog for a walk while looking for some driftwood.




















By the way, you really are not supposed to remove anything from the beach. We didn't!!!

Lazy Day........







Levi is building Harry Potter's castle.















Kylie is doing what she loves best!

Miss MacKenzie





The dress-up box is still a popular item at Grammy and Grandpas'.

She had the best fun..........

















Here she was playing "letters" and watching the water horse.....

Outside Fun









Took all day, but Levi and MacKenzie FINALLY went out and played with Faja. Levi loved that she can catch the ball in her mouth.











Faja is waiting for Levi to toss the football.........I don't know who has the most fun.

Driftwood Art......

Kurt framed in our "air" plant with driftwood fresh from our beach~~~~~~~~~~
