YESTERDAY @ 6 P.M

sUNdAY at home (Trailer PARKS is the break)

 Micro climates rule our weather pattern. Totally fogged in but drive 2 miles north, where the coast hwy curves in 50 yards and it's cobalt skies and sunny. It's continually moving. Overcast until 10 / sunshine till 5 /  grey skies by 6. Yesterday I complained about the grey skies then went 100 yards from the motor home to the beach and it was total blue sky and sunny.

GOOD MEMORIES

Downtown Lincoln City
Or
Key West in winter

Victoria is actually walking backward doing  the moonwalk !


Grandma (abuella) Empera, aunt Patty and niece Victoria spent  almost  3 weeks traveling the beautiful state of Oregon. My mother in law (Empera) commented about how much the beauty of  the mountains and waterways reminded her of her years growing up in her native Colombia. Memories to last a lifetime.

Everybody had a good time !

....and it's good to be back at our home away from home.

PACIFIC CITY




  The sun finally came out strong about 1pm  and Patty's  mom climbed to the top of this dune.
Sometimes on all fours but she made it!
