Not a bad place to be stuck



There is nothing like a little vacation time showing guests around to remind me of what a gorgeous place I live.  My sister and her family came for a visit a couple of weeks ago and with only 2 days to give them their very first taste of Oregon, we hit the usual high points.  I have never stopped appreciating the beauty of this locale, but seeing it with first timers who just could not come up with enough adjectives made it all fresh again.  Although we may feel a little confused as to where our life is going at this point, at least we get to live in this lovely place as we try to sort it out and await further direction.


The Columbia River Gorge scenic highway.




Bridal Veil falls -- my personal favorite of the several falls we visited.




Timberline Lodge at Mt. Hood.  This was taken the same day as the photos above - June 8 to be exact.  And they got fresh snow just a couple of days later.  Summer has been a long time coming this year.




Low tide at Haystack Rock in Cannon Beach.



Cape Meares just outside of Tillamook (where we watched them make cheese and then ate some yummy ice cream.)
