MEMORIES IN TIME ALONG THE OREGON COAST

While we were in Depoe Bay I had my 16th birthday on January 10th. Mommy bought me this crystal mouse...

I like it so much so I kissed it. Did you know that the classic movie One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest was filmed on location in Depoe Bay?

One of mommies treasure she found while tide pooling...looks like a jelly fish. The Spouting Horn during the war. They were worried about Japanese invasion and were quartered in the Inn.Betty's world famous deep dish marionberry pie with a side of vanilla bean ice creme! The beans in front of 'Their' lighthouse. The Yaquina Bay Light. They were married here in case you did not know that yet.We even did some whale watching!Mommies 'Light' in romantic black & white.... Look how busy we were making all of your Valentines books for those of you who were so kind and sent us Christmas cards....I snopervized each and every step!
