Black Friday

Spend Thanksgiving with my oldest daughter, her husband, brother-in-law, sister-in-law and their family. They were staying in the family timeshare in Seaside, about an hour north of me. We had a wonderful, wonderful time and I was reminded of all that I am thankful for.



Steely Dan - Black Friday.

I'm not doing any shopping this Black Friday. Still minding my nickles and dimes and will do most of my shopping online and have the store ship the gift to my loved ones.

Pictures of the bride, the groom, and the perpetual skip bo game.

It is not Turkey Day unless Alice's Restaurant is playing.

Happy Thanksgiving.

I am thankful for so many things - the peaceful retreat on the bay is just one of them.

Little By Little

Susan Tedeschi and The Derek Trucks Band with Little By Little at Crossroads Guitar Festival, Chicago, 2007.

Why Gray Days Are Worth It

My day was gray all day until just before sunset.

Then I was rewarded with this.

Sunday Sunset

Too forking beautiful not to share. Sorry some are blurred - I was forking cold standing barefoot on the deck taking these.

Random Pictures

Random pictures taken Saturday.

Not bad for my first Saturday Dirty Boogie set to blast while bringing up wood and cleaning house.

I am getting motivated to get my POD up here - all my cd's and music are in the pod and I'm itchy for my tunes.

Friday Sunset

Stayed high and dry during the storm. Tillamook got almost 6 inches and flooded in the usual places. I drove into town today to learn what some of those places are. Had to learn a new way back over to the bay since there was a crash on 131 that closed the road. Sounded like it was a bad one. Got home, put away my groceries and then Token and I enjoyed this sunset from the bay side deck.

Wild Women of Whippoorwill

My brother sent me this - Wild Women of Whippoorwill campground (NC) - getting the pole in the hole contest. I had to share it.

Joe Must Go

Jane did this gizmo today and made it available to all blogs to use.

Read her earlier post, The Case Against Lieberman, as to why Joe Must Go.

Click on the 'click to take action' in the gizmo and sign the petition. Then call your Senator and explain, using small words so they really do understand, why they must say No To Joe.

This man does not deserve to hold a gavel to any committee chair at all.

Silvery Sunday

Another silvery day here at the peaceful retreat on the bay.

Twas A Dark Stormy Nite

The Sun is Shining Down by JJ Grey and Mofro.


The perfect song for a dark, stormy (well semi stormy) nite. This song always seems to soothe, even when stormy winds are blowing.

Thank You

Thank You (Live BBC Sessions) - Led Zeppelin.

President-Elect Barack Obama (big ole smile on face).

I Believe To My Soul

Missionary Man

Birds on the bay before the storm moved onshore.
