VINTAGE CAR SHOW

Here are some pictures of a vintage car show that we were able to attend while we were recently on vacation in Solvang CA! As you can imagine, there were hoards of people looking at all of the restored vehicles and the funny thing is, some of those cars didn't look so OLD to us! HA!

Anyway, John had loads of fun poking his head into cars to check out their interiors! There was not a speck of dust to be found!! Of course, his favorite find was a 1965 Mustang...ah, what he wouldn't give to have his "grabber blue" '65 back again!!

I posted the picture of the purple one just because it was so stunning! I hope you enjoy a trip down memory lane!

The Oregon(e) Coast

The Oregon(e) (my friend Sue from Ohio pronounces it "OREGONE" for some silly reason) Coast has always been one of my favorite places to visit...to enjoy the beauty, the weather, the sand between my toes, the sounds, the smell of the ocean...all of these things make my senses come alive! This is one of the most outstanding views on the coast ~ it is of the beach at Nehalem taken from a look-out on Neahkahnie Mountain. Years ago, our family camped there at the state park, and we have very fond memories of our time spent building sand castles, getting sunburned, frolicking in the surf, walking across the hot, squeaky sand and playing Boggle by the campfire! I will NEVER tire of going to the beach and I think you can see why this is one of my favorites!!
This sunset is our reward for just being there! This production occurs each and every evening with a different result every time! What a spectacular event with the "silver lining" and the rays streaming out in all directions! I could have taken a picture every 30 seconds and no two would have been alike! God's MAJESTY is revealed in His Creation!! What a gift ~ AWESOME!!
