Yes, it was the natural beauty and a sense of peace that drew us here in the first place. I don't miss anything about big cities.<br />I don't miss the daily sunshine, either.<br /><br />I only miss seeing my family.<br />So, we schedule get-away trips down to L.A. for a couple of weeks in the winter months, to soak up the sun, to catch up with family, and to be reminded of what it was that got us moving.<br /><br />Happy New Year to all of you.Rosaria Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03133147851332084180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6257034884908994204.post-49030237317552085092011-12-29T04:52:09.919-08:002011-12-29T04:52:09.919-08:00The only place we like is where you live in Oregon...The only place we like is where you live in Oregon, we live in Washington and go to tiny places along it's rugges coastline, our only child lived in Whatcom county for school at WWU western washington university, it had a neat vibe, old lumber town, coastal native american fishing etc..Where you live, the sun does shine and the view uncomparable in all we think in Oregon..Praying for you, follow your blog, maybe the sea will help you to heal and feel some relief of your grief, we seem to feel so, pondering moving to a coastal town in washington state or back to a small town in and near denver, I am soon to retire and I would love to see the sun before I leave this terrestrial..Keep calm, sweet thoughsts and peace to you and sending our prayers and love..mjs&es from the tip of washington state...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6257034884908994204.post-55386488160192233692011-12-28T18:15:02.188-08:002011-12-28T18:15:02.188-08:00Sounds a beautiful isolated spot.

Where you live in Oregon is one of the most beautiful places one could ever hope to be. <br />Like you, we have to stock up for the winter since the nearest town with a decent grocery is one hour away. That is my plan for tomorrow since our blizzards seem to come within the next couple of months. Lots of cans and lots of water, and oh, maybe even an extra can opener and a few more batteries. Others see it as a hardship but I see it as life in a beautiful land.Rubye Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02511953177053448513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6257034884908994204.post-15189084106704626692011-12-27T17:36:15.110-08:002011-12-27T17:36:15.110-08:00Sounds so much like roughing it...but I know it...Sounds so much like roughing it...but I know it's not.

You have found a spot that suits your retirement dreams and are willing to sacrifice some comforts and maybe family to be there. I can tell you love it and I hope it continues to make you happy and peaceful. It sure is beautiful!yayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12047536332780197024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6257034884908994204.post-87409744637173407272011-12-27T14:20:09.167-08:002011-12-27T14:20:09.167-08:00Hi Rosaria~

I hope that you are doing well. <br />Also, through Pinterest I have found some amazing photographs of the beautiful Oregon. Sometimes I am so amazed at the beauty this majesty country has for us. I need to get out there and explore it all before it is too late. I do love when you speak of your lovely home as well as travels.<br />Thank you for the wonderful Sense of Place♥janishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18424946398926069813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6257034884908994204.post-13015772076660318002011-12-27T13:43:41.795-08:002011-12-27T13:43:41.795-08:00I'll bet you have the "larder" well-...I'll bet you have the "larder" well-stocked when you "hunker down" for the winter!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03803472040500529682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6257034884908994204.post-14670640766364789902011-12-27T13:14:44.325-08:002011-12-27T13:14:44.325-08:00Seems a little remote for my taste, far away from ...Seems a little remote for my taste, far away from friends, family and medical facilities.
