Along the Coast

The early part of this week combined two things that I enjoy-- long time (very long time in this case) friendships and the Oregon Coast. Parapluie, her husband, my husband, and I had arranged to rent a house together.

The house advertised that it overlooked a private cove. Its charm and view fully lived up to its promises and our hopes.

There is something so relaxing about watching tides change, storms come through, having a nice trail to walk down to look for seashells (didn't find any), surf fish (the guys did that), take photographs, paint (Parapluie), enjoy good conversations, food, wine, and the sound of the sea-- most especially in a storm.

My We'Moon calendar for this year had a great quote for April 21st, which seemed very apropos of our time with our friends.

True friends are ones who know the tune of your heart
and hum it back to you, when you have forgotten the words.

(Photos of the silver sea and wave action from the storm will be coming soon.)

Looks like such a good time. Love that Oregon, especially shared with such good friends.

So very Beautiful, Rain...It is so very different, too, than any Coast I have been on...And most likely that is because I have never been to the Northern Coast at all! Isn't it lovely to spend time with dear friends and share great conversation and lovely scenery too!

Our early week retreat at the coast was very special. The Quena quote is so true and beautiful. The photo is flattering of me with "Rain" and our husbands. I am not as tall as it appears.

Just looking at the photos is relaxing. How much more so, in person?! Gorgeous, indeed. Cop Car
