So we took a walk today...
...and I don't think much explanation is needed other than the fact that I like graveyards. A lot, in fact. As does my daughter Sarah, so she took me to her neighborhood graveyard, the Lone Fir.
This is the oldest graveyard in Portland and rather big. So big in fact, that though she's been there a number of times, she's missed a couple of good ones...some we found today. I realized later that we

Eyes Makeup Trend 2011 | Goddess Eyes
One of the eyes makeup trends for 2011 is a goddess style. For winter 2011, there are no colours, the key is to use black eye-liner, black coloured mascara, and matte copper or black eye-shadows, to emphasize the contour of your eyes.

My wish of the week ......... That I'll be able to have a good long talk with Mummy . Without siblings popping in and out all the time.

Photos of times and places
Heading north - pretty, isn't it? No, it's breathtakingly gorgeous!
Down at sea level, living the life we love
The shot Elijah picked...good eye, kiddo!
Looking toward Crescent City, I think...not a real pretty town
Gushing rushing river and a hole that I bet took a LONG time to make
Just some more damn beautiful country - the road followed the river, that was the not so twisty
Some catch up...sans photos
The drive from Northern California to Portland was full of a lot of things...roads with twists and turns and more twists and turns, for one. I think I put a wee dent in the passenger side floorboard, but Elijah did an excellent job of driving and the only time I got a little freaked was when I thought we were going to run out of gas - which we didn't. When did my children get so smart?

On the way and on his way
We are supposed to be in Oregon right now, but Elijah's dog Ragamuffin took a runner the night before and didn't get home until dusk last night. Since he's never done that before we weren't exactly still having high hopes, but then, there he was and very, very glad to be back. So as soon as the coffee is consumed along with a few odds and ends, we head up the coast. Right now it's foggy, but

They really ARE big!
Yesterday we went down to Shelter Cove to the lighthouse and the rocks. There were seals all OVER the place!!! It was incredible and beautiful...
When we got close, the seals starting jumping in the water...well, waddling in
It was an amazing gift...one of those times you get to see nature at one of her shining points and share it with someone who feels just the same way. Thanks, Elijah!

Happy Birthday Bilbo and Frodo!!!!!!!!!!!
Dear Hobbits ,
Today is another of Bilbo's one hundred and eleventy birthdays!!!!!!!!!
We will be celebrating with food drink and activities in our home.
Here is Bilbo's birthday speech which I found at This Site which has the scripts to all the LOTR's movies :
[Under the party tree, the other Hobbits are gathered.]
Hobbits: "Speech, Bilbo! Speech!"
Frodo: "Speech!"

Bilbo: "My dear Bagginses and Boffins, Tooks and Brandybucks, Grubbs, Chubbs, Hornblowers, Bolgers, Bracegirdles and Proudfoots." [cheers]
Old Proudfoot Hobbit: "Proudfeet!"
[Hobbits laugh. Bilbo waves dismissively.]
Bilbo: "Today is my one hundred and eleventh birthday!"
Hobbits: "Happy birthday!"
Hobbit: "Happy birthday!"
Bilbo: "Alas, eleventy-one years is far too short a time to live among such excellent and admirable hobbits." [cheers abound.] "I don't know half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve."
[There is a dead silence from the crowd. They gaze at each other blank-faced, trying to figure out if they were just insulted. Gandalf smiles.]

Bilbo: "I, uh, I h-have things to do." [fidgets with the Ring behind his back. Whispers to himself] "I've put this off for far too long."
Bilbo: [to the crowd] "I regret to announce — this is The End. I am going now. I bid you all a very fond farewell." [whispers to Frodo] "Goodbye."
[Bilbo puts the Ring on and vanishes.]
Hobbits: "Ooh!"
May Bilbo and Frodo both have a happy birthday. now sing with me:
"Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday dear Bilbo and Frodo!
Happy birthday to you!
Hip-pip Hooray!
Hip-pip hooray!
Hip-pip Hooray!!!!
TTFN
