I know I wrote about this some in my previous post, but I’m so overwhelmed by the kindness of people that I feel a need to write more. In the past couple of months, people I hadn’t met before, old friends I hadn’t seen in 20+ years, old friends I last saw two years ago, and newer friends I’d only met once before all took me in to their homes, welcomed me with open arms, were most gracious and generous…
I need to set some kind of routine for writing blog posts as I seem to be way behind in my updates! I’m currently in Enterprise, Oregon – at the NorthEastern corner of Oregon – visiting friends, but I need to update y’all about my wonderful time in Yachats and Corvallis! One of the things that’s impressed upon me during this “Finding Home Tour” and visiting friends, is how many people I have in the Pacific NorthWest. I lived in…
After leaving friends in Marrowstone Island, the dogs and I made our way to the north-westernmost point of the continental U.S.; Cape Flattery The water is an amazing dark turquoise blue. Sully was mesmerized. Cape Flattery, and the town of Neah Bay are part of the Makah Reservation. Click here: for little bit of information on the Makah People.

Since my last entry, I’ve spent some really wonderful time with old friends in Marrowstone Island, just North-East of the Olympic National Park. Marrowstone Island, and that area there around the more well-known Port Townsend, is…

You might find an amazing spot in a rainforest and decide to stay several days instead of your originally planned two nights. The drive towards the next location might have construction and take hours longer than expected, so you stop many miles sooner than what you’d thought. You see a mystery dirt road off to the West and decide to go…
After I left Spokane, I continued on my friend visit adventure and headed West to see some folks I knew when I lived in Seattle 1990 – 1994. Many years ago, they moved just outside the small Washington town of Rockport, Wa. in the North Cascades, on the edge of the North Cascades National Park. I got set up out front, nestled amongst the flower beds. Then the dogs and and I took a hike on a trail just up…
