Fresh air, blue skies, and RBG

It happens this way …

It’s been months since I opened this page to write a blog. So much has happened since last June — some depressing, some discouraging, some inspiring.  You know what I mean so there’s no need to spell it out.

I just want to share two things with you today:

1). I’ve been praying to the Notorious RBG every day since she died, putting all the political shenanigans into her capable hands. She’ll figure them out! (I suspect she sent that fly to sit on the VP’s head at last night’s debate.) Ever since I’ve started to connect with her, I’ve experienced a great sense of relief. The USA is in more capable hands than in my worrying ones.

2).  We went on our first getaway since September 2019, arriving on a beautiful Monday afternoon in Seaside, Oregon. We spent a lot of time outdoors breathing the fresh air, enjoying the blue skies, the sunset, and even the fog rolling in. Everyone down there was wearing masks inside buildings and some even outdoors. Lots of “hello’s” to strangers and sweet eye contact above masks. Being able to go outside is not something we take for granted any more after the fires and smoke of September. 

Here are a few of the sights we experienced. Enjoy them with us.

First beach walk …

On the way to Astoria
The Astoria Column
The 300-year-old Cathedral Tree
Kathy prays inside the Cathedral Tree
Kathy above the bridge to Washington
Me, too
And the fog starts to roll…
It’s getting closer
Dog walker
The gift of angel wings
No words necessary!
