Green - sort of smiley
It is Monday and we are home. I am glad that we had a lovely trip and I finally saw the amazing Oregon coast.
The sort of part - well actually the part that sucks is that I missed the message from Debbie in Seattle. I missed a wonderful visit. I could blame it on the website (it is incredibly slow so I have about 100 messages that I have not read) or the fact that we were in remote areas at times and didn't have access to email (Crater Lake etc), but mostly it is me. I should have just checked anyway. I thought I would get an alert by email that I had a message. It did not arrive. I guess it just means I have to go back to Seattle!
We really did enjoy the sights and sounds of the Pacific coast. I find the water so relaxing. I loved going to sleep listening to the surf. I sometimes marvel that the water sounds like a freight train but it still lulls me to sleep.
Lisa was with us along the way. I wish she would have nudged me to check FMO more closely! But she was there. Again as birds that were noisy and close up! She also reminded me to Live Laugh Love (a sign that I almost walked in to at an antique shop!). We did see wildlife along the way - a bear, deer, a baby fox, eagles, cormorants, turkey vultures, gulls of course and others.
Lisa, I love that you were along but I missed being able to skype and chat. I miss you always and love you forever.

glad you had fun,,,, now pack for retreat!!
Glad you had a good trip, and sorry you missed Debbie. I loved Seattle when we went in 2011. I still have a ton of family there. Can\'t wait to see you in august! Love, Angela
You were missed and I\'m sorry that you missed connecting with Debbie. It does just mean that you must get back there again soon.
I too adore the ocean and have to have my yearly fix it seems. :) The mountains are amazing too, yet there is just something about wanting it ALL! LOL!
Glad you felt Lisa and she never does miss out on a vacation now does she?
Lots of love dear Marlene.

Sounds like it was a wonderful trip and I believe all things happen for a reason so maybe you not noticing the e-mail is so you will go back again.
Hugs and Welcome Home,
Terry
I\'m glad you\'re back home, too. Enough gallivanting. Sorry you missed meeting Debbie this time, but the future is vast. Here\'s a big hug for being optimistic in your journal, it gives me the giggles. Love you, Abby
Oh, it all sounds so lovely! This site has been so slow these days.
Sorry that you missed seeing your friend.
Peace.
Oh, making me sooo jealous. I don\'t mind living in Indiana but gosh, I do miss the sea and mountains. In the UK we were so close to everything, being an island. Sounds like a great trip!
Like you need an excuse to go back LOL ! So glad you enjoyed yourself. You are now an offical traveling gypsie. So If you ever travel to FL best time is in your winter months we dont have winter we have cold weather (for floridians only)
Keep having fun !
hugs Penny
