Bye Lea!

Thanks Bob I will goggle it later.  Thanks for checking 

OK!  It has been fun chatting with you Bob, but I must get my butt to the store.  Catch you later.

I'll have to go through the pics that I have and see if there is anything worth showing.  You would probably see better pics if you did a google search on sight seeing in Oregon.  But I will see what I have.

 

If you have any pictures that you could share I would love to  see it. 

WatchingOprah and they have a movie out that brings the songs of the Beatles to life. I missed the title.

Lea, it is beautiful!  I can drive an hour west and be at the beach or an hour east and be in the mountains.  I also live in the farmlands, so it's pretty peaceful too. 

I am turning green as we speak. Sounds like a beautiful place. I lived in NC for about 10 years and the humidity was terrible there in the summer. They usually had ice storms rather then snow. I loved it there in February. We went back recently and the area where we use to live now has fancy/smancy stores and resturants. Sure has grown.

I live in the Willamette Valley (between the coast range and the Cascade Mountains) and we are pretty temperate here.  We probably get an average of 1 - 2 inches of snow a year.  Some years more, some none at all.  We get the rain!  And to make you more jealous - not very much humidity! (compared to the midwest and the eastern states)
