day 18: crazy
Crazy was the name of the game today. Nuts, Cray-Cray, Wacky, Insane. The weather was crazy wild. Lots of wind, and stinging rain. So... no one wanted to go outside much. Expecially me. Well, I am the only person here. But the dogs didn't want to go out...
day 17: shop around
My daughter told me... you better shop around!! And that is generally what we like to do. When we are in Portland, we go to one of the Goodwills. However, I found the best ever thrift shop near my home in Long Beach, Washington. I've been to the REACHOUT...
day 16: fields of gold
You'll forget the sun in his jealous sky, when we walk the fields of gold. Sting said it all, on this amazing song. Tomorrow, I'll cross my own field of gold and I head down to take a look at the ever-changing coastline that is my beach. Pretty amazing.For those of...
day 15: long way home
"Forgive me pretty baby, but I always take the long way home." Tom Waits wrote it but Norah Jones really brings it home. And I think about those words and wonder if the "long way" is creative avoidance or a statement about finding one's way. No matter, it's a great...
day 14: blinded by the light
Blinded by the light pretty much is when the sun comes out in Portland, Oregon. If you have ever seen the show Portlandia... you know what I am talking about. Any amount of sunlight is cause for great jubilation... and a chance to break out sunglasses and lawn...
day 13: best shot
Hit me with your best shot... right in the left arm. And then "hit" Number 1. Because both of us rolled up our sleeves for the covid vaccine today. And... It was pretty painless. Glad that is out of the way. Next dose in about two weeks.For those of you just...
day12: left foot in
You put your left foot in.... you put your left foot out....and you know how the rest goes. Pretty soon you are doing the hokey- pokey, transformed back to the rollercade. My days of skating are long past, but yoga is a bit of "put your left foot in" -- at least for...
days 10 & 11: our house
I love our house -- which is, by the way, a 24' rv. I live here with my two dogs, on the beach in SW Washingon. And, although I spend a lot of time in Portland, where my daughter lives, this is our house. I look at it as trading REAL estate for WHEEL estate. Made...
day 9 – poncho and lefty
Who doesn't love a fabulous poncho??T I love, love, love this one. It was a gift from a great friend. But, unfortunately, I have been remiss. I changed out of my fancy dressup clothes and into traveling clothes just before the drive to the coast. And I lefty both...
