The places I love in Bandon

J

Picture of Shirl in our cozy Yurt. The Elk Reserve and of course sunset at the light house Coquille River on the North Jetty. Bandon Bakery run by our dear friends the Kim and Chris Powells. Wonderful soup and sandwiches made to order and fresh each day. So much beauty on a daily basis

Pictures of the Jail House Rocks (It really was the original jail house for Bandon)one of our favorite rock hound place Kay and Bob were always so helpful with questions about rocks from all over the world.

We had such a wonderful life in Bandon it was hard to give it up, but we do love being here and being closer to Heidi and family. Life is good and I have been so blessed. Since leaving and knowing this would probably our last trip back to Bandon for a long time I had to take pictures of all the places I loved. I did go to the beach and found some beautiful agates and we had dinner at La Fiesta the most delicious Mexican Food on the coast . So many wonderful memories.

Well that seem to work better.

Family History Center

Antelope Island with the Buffalo and lots of little black Vampire knats

Bayli at lunch at Heart of Jerusalem lunch for a mother and daughter outing. She absolutely loves middle eastern food. I enjoyed this special day so much with Bayli and Heidi

The "Big Snow" that delayed our trip to Utah and Oregon for two days. We had a great time and the roads where in perfect traveling condition. It was beautiful. We had a grand time in Utah and Oregon and all along the way. I have so many pictures I hope I can remember how to share them.

Guess what the new little "thingy" seemed to work like a charm and I did not have to fiddle around with the cable thing. I will now try to post a picture or two. Here goes.................

Well, here is am again. I have been waiting to post with some pictures. Only one major problem. I have misplaced the cable from my camera that plugs into the computer. I did buy on of the plug in jack type thing that is suppose to work so wonderful. Oh, yes another technical difficulty for me. I am working on getting my new pictures into the computer. I say new as they are still in my camera. The have been for about the last several months. I have about 400 and I have deleted some of the not so good ones. Still I do not want to print all of them. I will have to keep messing arund with this new plug in devise until I finally get it to work.
Then I will be able to post my pictures. I know , I know you can hardley wait..

I have been hacking away at getting projects and boxes empty and still not missing any one of them. I am beginning to believe that all the boxes are breeding and multiplying and replenishing my storage area. No matter how many boxes I empty, the volume does not diminish one bit.

We have been pretty busy with project like opeing boxes of "stuff" and I have actually gotten rid of a lot of the "stuff". So much more to go.

I took a break yesterday as my sweet neighbor Susan decided that she was tired of looking at the accumulation of weeds and grass and dead leafs from the winter in the corner of my side yard. She volunterred to clean it up and plant some plants from her beautiful yard as she needed to thing out some areas. She did a beautiful job and I just sat there in my chair and watched and then supervised. Like she needed me. She knew where plants should go and I agreed. Now I do have a beautiful side yard./ I would love to have some rock put in along the side of the house and then a little walkl way to the newly refurbished gate that Shirl fixed yesterday.

Today was the Ward Clean up and everyone helped to do projects for the single sisters and some of the older folks in the ward as well as any neighbor that needed to be cleaned up . Anyway we do have a great lawn and all the junk is off and out of the way. I will work on the ugly wood pile later this week. The bishop and his second counselor came to fix our back gate. Of course Shirl decided that he needed to do it so they helped him hold the gate and drill the screws etc. It does look a mite better.

Watch for my additional pictures later this week. Once I can read the directions and then translateto the computer.

Hope you all have a great week.
