Snapshot of Sky Taken While Driving to Astoria
Fri, 10/19/07

Fully expecting the weather to consist of extreme rain w/thunder & lightning - which it did from the moment I finished assembling the comfie nest in the back of my car on Fri night 'til early Sat morning - we were pleasantly surprised by Saturday's blue skies w/awesome clouds, sunshine, and partial rainbows seen from beach. (No pics of the last, 'cause was too nice to stop and take out the camera.)

We strolled over to the beach on Saturday, 10/20/07.

'Twas a perfect day to take Bob out for a walk. Well, he flew whilst we walked.

But We Enjoyed the Walk There & Back Again Just Fine

'Twas an absolutely lovely w'end w/fab food and even better company. Thx be to

lightfoote for taking my off-hand comment to myself about wanting to go to the beach in Oregon sometime and encouraging/inspiring it to happen in a manner far better/nicer than I could've imagined. I'm pleased to bits 'n' full o' joy 'n' goodness 'n' happiness. Blissed Be!
