  1. Mom is Always Right

    Posted by Ashley of Coral Springs, Florida / November 4, 2010

    My mom always told me to visit the Oregon coast. She knew of Oregon's beauty because my parents visited the state just before their engagement, in 1972. Well, I took my mom's advice this year. My boyfriend and I just returned from an amazing adventure--d... Continue Reading

    I was visiting Oregon for the first time with my (now) fiance. We were headed to Eugene to see his daughter (a proud Duck!). With a few days to spare, we decided to see more than the University (and the football field). His daughter suggested a day on the coa... Continue Reading

    Posted by katherine hoppe of Coos Bay / September 21, 2010

    I read the below announcement about The Rez Kitchen Tour and I actually got giddy. This combines my unhealthy obsession to cooking shows (ala Top Chef, Hell's Kitchen, Iron Chef), my addiction to recipes, and my love of sampling new food and wraps it int... Continue Reading

  6. Hurry up, November

    Posted by Ann Bailie of Waukesha, WI / September 13, 2010

    This isn't much of a story. Rather it's a wish list. Our son, Matt and his wife, Kristin, moved to Portland from Wisconsin when they were married three years ago. We miss them terribly, but they have fallen in love with Oregon and consequently, we seldom ... Continue Reading

    About once a year we see our darling Grandsons. With such a long time between visits, we often wonder if they will remember us and the things we do. Most of you will remember that this spring was a bit cold and cloudy. The weather forecasters, not to be depre... Continue Reading

  10. A Tale of Two Impromptu Visits

    Posted by Diana Timmons of Gig Harbor, Washington / August 31, 2010

    I love road trips! All I need is a tankful of gas, some snacks, and I'm ready to roll. When I'm planning a trip, it seems that there is some sort of magnetic pull to the Oregon Coast. If someone mentions a trip, that's the first place I suggest. My favorite roa... Continue Reading
