For our honeymoon we went to Oregon so that I could discover all its many delights. Including Coos Bay, actually. About a year or so later, we moved there. We're now in Missouri and happy. But, I never seem to get over missing beautiful, magical Oregon.Relyn Lawsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01389583730002062714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6257034884908994204.post-87268682004596308742010-01-27T07:54:56.494-08:002010-01-27T07:54:56.494-08:00Wow.
