Wale Cove, for anniversary dinner, two ago.<\/h6>\n

True, February isn’t exactly tourist season on the winter rainy Oregon coast, but we weren’t thinking about that when we got married. For some years now we’ve made a point of going somewhere special during our anniversary month. What with the ever-expanding commercial titillation surrounding Valentine’s Day, everybody can celebrate it with us!<\/p>\n

Upcoming will be our third February trek to Toledo, Oregon. We will stay in the same art studio\/lodgings as before. And, as before, we’re taking a van load of art making materials and equipment. That includes most significantly Anne’s heavy hand-press, lots of paper and ink, tables, an easel, canvases, brushes and paints.<\/p>\n

It’s a time we look forward to, particularly Anne, who, with the general press of life, gets very little time for doing art at home. Away, full days are dedicated to it, for almost three weeks. For me too, though this time, what with a book project as well, I suppose half my time will be on that.<\/p>\n

The fact that rain is forecast for as long as the weather service is predicting doesn’t bother us much. It’s all the better to keep us focused.<\/p>\n

Of course, the time in the car is part of it, talking about life, listening to books, overnighting with our kids in Palo Alto, spending a day with friends at their Strawhouse Resort in Northern California, then winding up the wild Oregon coast to our destination.<\/p>\n

Life’s a journey. Sometimes literally.<\/p>\n

We’re glad you’re with us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
