I'm so excited for your trip! I love hearing about anyone exploring the Oregon Coast. It's SO beautiful! Such a missed gem.

Have a wonderful time!! When I talk to my husband I'll ask him if I missed anything. He grew up there and might have things in mind to suggest as well.

I'm not much help on food because we always stay with family and they feed us. 😂 But don't pass up a chance to have Salmon and Clam Chowder if you're seafood eaters.

If you're beer and/or coffee drinkers... Some of the best of both out there. Just pick one and you'll be happy. They're ALL good.

Go South to Newport and check out the Oregon Coast Museum.

And of course Lincoln City has great hiking and beaches to explore. You could easily spend all your time there and enjoy every second!

Go a little further north of that, and you can take a train ride of the Oregon Coast out of Garibaldi. It's on my bucket list to do some day!

Way further north is Canon Beach and Astoria. But those are worth experiencing in a trip all their own.

It's about an hour drive north from where you will be, but definitely go visit the Tillamook Creamery! While in Tillamook, hike to see the a Octopus Tree and Cape Mears Lighthouse.

I can't reply directly, but happy to help @stemgal.bsky.social ! Where on the coast are you planning? Astoria, Manzanita, Canon Beach, etc.? Note that you can also stay a little in-land and still be minutes from the beach.

I keep forgetting about this platform.

I'm sitting in a bar wearing boots, Wranglers and a cowboy hat while 90s country is being covered by the band. A piece of my soul I'd forgotten about has been revived tonight. And I love it. What a way to ring in a new year.

When the female leader of a group automatically assumes my male coworker is the MOD... All the facepalms. I'm not offended. Just amused. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Had to get new tires today. Did NOT have that in my budget for the year, but it HAD to happen. 💸

Oh hey... It's been over a year since I posted on this platform. Didn't even realize it had an app finally! NOW I'll check it more. 🙌🏼

Bought Halloween cards to mail to my friends... And I haven't even addressed them yet. 🙄

I keep forgetting about this space.

👋

I think if I had unlimited funds, I'd buy a whole lot of airpods to carry with me. Then I'd give them away to clueless people who insist on watching videos with the sound on in public. 🙄

Just wrote out what the rest of the year looks like, and now I am tired. 😳

A haunted house, but it's just typos

I'm tired.

I keep forgetting about this place. I need to spend more time here. It's delightfully laid back.

Every time I hear a woman's name being called to return for a lost item, I always mentally joke it's probably her husband. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Someone told me yesterday that I'm the most laid-back person they know.

Hahahahahaha

Boy do I have them fooled.

We leave on vacation Thursday. Well, our bodies do. My brain has absolutely already checked out.

I love pumpkin spice, and seeing it all over the grocery store makes me smile. And I was soooooo tempted to grab pumpkin spice coffee and creamer

But it's way too early for it. I'm not ready. Soon. But not yet.

It's been a long time since I enjoyed chatting with customers so much that I asked to be Facebook friends with them. But that happened today, and my heart is so full from it.

Well hello new social platform.

😊
