FRIENDSHIP timeless and eternal
When I was in high school - way, way, WAY back to the 70's / 80's - I wasn't really one of the "popular ones", in fact, to this day I've never had contact with anyone I went to school with. At the time, one of best Friends was my neighbor. We've always kept in contact - maybe not for 1, 2, 6 months, etc. at a time- but always kept in touch, even when the distance grew to 3 (or was it 4?) states away. Debra's birthday was the end of September, she called up and said she couldn't think of anywhere she'd like to be other than here with us for her 50th. Fifty! That is one more of those statements that bounces around in your skull like a bell clapper. OK. I'm willing to admit that some time has passed and I have, uhm, er, well - matured. So, we got to spend the weekend together, her son, Ian, driving in from Tacoma. The Pacific Northwest weathergods smiled upon us. Absolutely perfect weekend. Not one of those Fall comes-in-like-a-big-wet-curtain events that we've been presented with - summer ends August 25th, etc.
We went off to Cannon Beach for a stay at the beach house - ahh, what a good idea!
Alan & Debra out on Tolvana Beach. Cannon Beach, OR. Talk about picture perfect...
The spectacular view of Cannon Beach from Ecola State Park.
Dinner at The Wayfarer restaurant in Cannon Beach. Really one of the best the Oregon Coast has to offer.
that's me, Alan, Debra, and Ian
And then again...

I consider it an honor that someone would choose to spend their "milestone" birthday/ anniversary/event with me, and in fact it did turn out to be a wonderful weekend with wonderful friends.
Eeeeyuu... October... Lets see ... I was knocked flat by another seriously nasty sinus infection. Not much to remember there. I managed to get some good shots from Rocky Butte.. (hell-o Autumn)

Postcard anyone?
This is a nice over view of (part of) my neighborhood (our house is out of view to the right -North- in this shot) with some Autumn colors beginning to show up.
