Sunday

There is NO snow on those mtns... there was a skiff a couple days ago, but that burns off fast if the weather does not hold.. and we are having lovely Fall weather.. warm days, no frost... have gotten all of my yard work, cutting back things, done...

Am going to finally get my kitchen faucet done\replaced... have gone almost a year now, replacing the faucet to just have it fall off again. live in dread that it will fall off into the garbage disposal when it is on and ruin that!!!  been close a couple times.  :( 

Been reading, making cards, doing that yard work... today had to go again to Walgreens, but there was NO line, almost had heart palpitations was so excited!!!  then to Lowes to get faucet, called plumber, they are coming Thursday.. then went to get a pedicure.  fixed some soup i had frozen from a couple weeks that we did not eat.. they thought i just made it... :)   this is the time of year, do i water the yard or not? let it go? it is really, really dry and turning brown in spots.  did do the back yard... even raked a garbage can full of leaves already...

Sunday went to Sisters for a lecture at the library re: Bay Ocean, town on the coast, near Tillamook that fell into the sea due to the building of the jetty on the Tillamook Bar by the Army Corps of Engineers... It was determined that if they had built the South at the same time as the North the town would have been saved, but alas.... It is funny how our memories are i remember when i was very young, 1952 thereabouts... Dad took us over there, we would have been living in Garabaldi at the time.. and showed us what was left of the town and a mansion, prob a mansion as i was so small :) (remember looking in the windows at the fireplace, wood floors, chandalier) and a tennis court he used to play on when he was young, b4 WW11.....

We still go to that area, Cape Meares, but to the beach there, they always, normally have shells and agates and sometimes the weather is better than in rockaway... am going to have to drive out the spit and walk along the bayside...  they are working on the jetty, and use the north end of that spit as a staging area for the construction rocks and whatnot;  it is amazing how the ocean will fling those huge rocks, weighing tons.  It used to be really high and then got really low and it is about halfway back to where it once was.. Remember also going to BarView (where jetty is) b4 the jetty and there was tons of sand and driftwood, you had to walk on driftwood for 1/4 mile to get to the ocean, but not anymore... and the sand is being taken over with sea grass (?) and scotch broom (bloom)  Will leave with pics of my Sunday drive

Broken Top

Hmmmmmm

Take Care all and God Bless
