I have some silly and fun collections. These heart I have some silly and fun collections. These heart rocks from Alaska. A plate of dice. Masks. So many shells and rocks from places near and far. Some blown glass. Some fossils. A couple prices of petrified wood. Little figurines and statuettes. Some baskets, some vases; throughout the house. Artwork and books of course, but that’s different. It’s all just stuff, I know. But stories. They have stories.

Happy #sundayfunday ! Taking a break for a cup of Happy #sundayfunday ! Taking a break for a cup of dark, rich Mexican hot sipping chocolate on this beautiful sunny day. I heat it in a teeny two-handled stainless steel pot bought just for this purpose in San Jose del Cabo. And I pour it into my little naked clay cup from Laughin Gnome Pottery (formerly Daily Bird Pottery) in Port Townsend, Washington..

But my favorite place to be in Newport are the jet But my favorite place to be in Newport are the jetties. The north and south jetties protect boats coming in from the open ocean into Yaquina Bay. Yaquina Bay South Jetty (8,600 feet long plus another 1,800 feet) has more going on; the adjoining beach has all the amenities of a good day use park. But I prefer to walk the North Jetty. Its 7000+ feet long , all rough rock . You’ll meet fewer people walking it and it’s just a place that feels good to walk and look out over. It was a calm day. On a rougher day, which it was on another earlier visit, it’s a place to take some care. But to recreational boaters and fishing boats, the jetties make all the difference for safe passage.

I haven’t been to Newport, Oregon in years and w I haven’t been to Newport, Oregon in years and when the opportunity arise, I didn’t hesitate. What’s not to love; there’s the harbor, two lighthouses, wonderful sand dunes, walking and hiking trails, an imposing bridge, the scenic highway 101, our cold cold Pacific, and great food.
