happyrock cafe

Today was a sweet reunion with a friend from long ago.

Thank you FB for making that possible. ;)

Good coffee. Sweet friendship.

Awesome catching up!

Choice of coffeehouse was an old tromping ground for the two of us,

though at very different times in life...

{SG}, we definitely need to do this again soon!

HappyRock Cafe is located in Gladstone, OR.

a visit from {r-dub-ewe}

Among the things I love. . . I love to have friends visit. Love to have my home blessed by them. No better way to spend a weekend when my dear husband has to study than to have a visitor to come and spend some time with me. A much needed coffee date with the lovely {r-Dub-ewe}. I love this girl. She's a blast to hang out with. Her laugh & giggle make me happy. She's such a sweetheart. Her hugs are so comforting. I love braking into song with you! Thank you for being you!

Tuesday Tea @ Twelve. That's our *Triple-T* luncheon.

Each time we enjoy not only each other's company,

a cup of tea or two,

but also so many delicious things. . .

Thanks for being a Skinnidipper!

ms. frenchie

Something that makes my 'job' so fun is meeting people from other countries, like Ms.F. She's from Guinea. Her first language is French. Hence "frenchie" is her new nickname.

I'll let these poses tell you a little about her personality.

S: Oh! I am sooo white!
F: Oh! I am sooo black!
E: hahahaha... girls, you are too funny!

I'm so glad that she'll be joining us for Triple T. in the coming days.

we did it!

guys! guys! 50 dollar bill! 50 dollar bill!

That's not the cost of chowder, but the taste.

I believe that we have discovered the BEST clam chowder on the Oregon Coast. And I'm not speaking of Mo's... Who is known for their boat-deck atmosphere. No, I'm raving about a new found place called: Wayfarer's Inn. Adjacent to a hotel this find has a newly remodeled interior with huge picture windows on-looking the haystack rocks of Cannon Beach. Yes, the rocks from the Goonies. A classic filmed on the Oregon Coast packed with adventure and comedy. A must see!

Liza & Lydia & I.

On this side and on that side of the table. . .

Lucille & Janine

Before the meal. . . a wet crew back from a walk in the wind & rain.

We will miss you Lydia!!

lohla

The newest addition to the LG family.

Why? Because she deserves her own post. That's why.

great day for tea

The gorgeous tea house near the reflection koi pond at the gardens.

Must go back when this place is in bloom!

face-off !

O may Thy living Light, Lord, scatter all my night Lord!

Enjoying the sun light at the gazebo on the waters.

Every step I take, every move I make, I'll be watching you...

It's tea time... my tea cup was the size of a walnut. Cute!

The gardens are in the heart of the city. (below)
