Signs

and that folks was in Montana.    I'd love to visit there but not in the winter months.  

Now this is a sign that show the Moose mean business.   

ha ,ha ,  I've been accused of this more than once in my life.

Cannon Beach, Oregon.   Love those sea stacks.    The Oregon coast line is beautiful and I still miss Lone Ranch Beach in Brookings, Oregon.  

I don't know which computer angel came to my rescue but the pictures came up today.    I complained to Christine, Pat and John ...so guys,  thank you. 

We had a sunshine day with rain squalls , strange with a cold wind, like Mother Nature was undecided and all we could do was wait and see whether to dress in rain gear or get out some sun shade.   It did not stop me from joining Christine and her friends Kira and Bill at the bistro where they open early and have a Happy Hour with a short menu of appetizers with strange names but oh so delicious once you made a choice.    Bruschetta  with mushroom topping, yum, so it was not easy making a choice as the menu had calamari, baked macaroni and a few other choices.   I guess we will just have to go back and try a different dish and you can come if you are out this way.  The conversation covered a myriad of trips to other restaurants in the immediate area and it was interesting to hear the difference of opinions  as some of our favorites were trounced .  We have decided to go on a trial run in the future and test them out again.   Next week we will start with Moon Doggie Two and go on a Wednesday night when the special is a hamburger with sweet potato fries and a famous very dark beer . . Yetch, I don't even like beer, but the coffee is good, and the company is better.   Really nice folks to share time with. We missed Patricia who had one of those overpowering M.S. days .   How we pray for a cure.  We have no idea what it is like to have a disease that straps your strength.   Say a prayer, light a candle that a cure will be found soon. She is a marvel, how much I admire this wonderful beautiful daughter who fights daily just to keep moving.   It takes courage and fortitude and she has both.  

So today, look around and see who needs the hand of friendship .   Someone you know and love will have a 'good' day  just because you took the time to be loving and caring.    It only takes a few minutes of your time . . . sharing is caring so practice, practice, practice.....make it a perfect day for someone you know and love.   One never knows what 'today' will bring;  hopefully good things, but that is not always the way.   Keep that in mind, as you go your merry way, that you may want to be on the receiving end  of a big bear hug and a smile.   Hugs to all.
