After our wonderful time in the Columbia Gorge and our Labor Day “Harvest Host Hop,” we landed on the Oregon Coast. This was a treat and we now understand why people go there year after year. Our next stop was for an Escapees Oregon Coast Hangout in Garibaldi which is just north of Tillamook. This […]

What a long, strange trip it has been!
(apologies to the Grateful Dead) Well, perhaps not so long, but certainly strange! Like everyone else, the COVID-19 pandemic threw our entire world into turmoil. Way back in the B.C. era (that’s ‘Before Corona’), there were actually a few newsworthy items in our life, but we were so busy that we hadn’t taken the time […]
