Lincoln City on Sunday was amazing. Warm, light breeze, completely clear and sunny skies. So warm in fact we had to start stripping all of our layers as we set out on a beach walk. Wind breaker? Off. Fleece pullover? Off. All the way down to t-shirts

 Saturday's 60's/70's Halloween "groovy" wine party was a blast. Good fun, good cheer, good wine!

No not the one you are wearing for Halloween this year. The one you wear ALL year. You know the one. The barrier between who you really are and the people and situations around you. It occured to me yesterday as I was out shopping for a groovy 60'

We've been invited to a party on Saturday. It's got a 60's and 70's costume theme for Halloween. When I was a kid it was a cinch to go to Goodwill or the Salvation Army and pick up various and sundry items that would easily work. Toda

Vacation...bonus features.

If our trip was on a DVD, these would be the outakes/bloopers/deleted scenes. And because Crater Lake was completely smoked in by a nearby forest fire I leave those future photos for another trip..since we do plan on going back. Maybe in the win

The dentist...

I've always prided myself on having very healthy teeth. In fact my dentist in Houston used to look inside my mouth and say "Well, I'm not going to make any money on Nichole today". And over the 12 years I went to that dental gr

Part 2 of our vacation was a trip though wine country.  The Napa Valley in California is basically like Disneyland for adults who are vino junkies. It's pretty commercialized these days and very expensive. Having to get an "appointment&
