When Nick & I returned to the US last year October from our trip - we did some shopping for our motor home...including this pillow that he picked out! It was a map of a ocean and it had a "whale" fin on it and a light house! Nico looked over at the couch here in the house...and there is the pillow...had we ever in our minds & hearts thought we would end up on the coast of Oregon where the whales come by and that the lighthouse just north of us would also be so close by?????
Amazing...truly Amazing!
There is not a lot of Ellen's out there...but at the Super Walmart in Coos Bay I did meet another Ellen! Well here's a picture of the 2 Ellen's! I remember on a little island called Lombok in Indonesia I met an English gal there named Ellen....pretty neat huh?
I found the picture ...here is the other Ellen! How fun is that!
I don't know these pictures are so blurry....but still want to share them with you all!
Uncle Paul & sweet Janet came to visit us - when we were here just 3 weeks! They were so excited to come see out litle cottage and took the 5 1/2 hour drive to do so from McMinnville north of us! We enjoyed a game of the Dutch Shuffleboard game "sjoelbak" and yes Bill our brother in law too came...- what a blessing it was...he drove 7 1/2 hours from CA - Windsor up this way! We enjoyed out visitors!
Everyone played a serious game of sjoel! Trying hard to get them into the slots! Oh how fun to play again after 2 yrs!
We had a great time!

Bill & Nick went for a bike ride...it is great to ride here in Port Orford...so quiet and so pretty everywhere! They had fun together ...and Bill & Nick have known each other since they were 17 years old....now that is a good friendship!
It was my son's Jason's Birthday (we skyped!) on October 4th, it was Bill's
Birthday and he was with us...and it was also Frank's Birthday our brother in law down in CA and we sent him a email....so we celebrated with some goodies!
Happy Birthday Jas, Bill and Frank!
We have enjoyed some beautiful sights around our town of Port Orford!
Cape Blanco - just north of Port Orford
We stood on the edge of the cliff close by the lighthouse...and saw that rock down below...and wondered "should we..or shouldn't we???"
Well we did....down down down the cliff we went...and all the time I was thinking:
"What goes DOWN....must go UP!"
See the guy up there...yes it was quite a distance...but we did it...we got up there again....condition...condition...ugh!!!
It was windy but so' refreshing! Once you get hiking down....well you get REALLY hot going up!
What Fun!
Bill, Nick & I made it back to the car...and we were huffing and puffing!
