A Beautiful Thanksgivng va-ca.

Went to Oregon to spend Thanksgiving with my son, his girlfriend and her family. And checked out the University of Oregon campus. U of O is the home of the Ducks! I have NEVER seen so many duck feet on cars, flags, everything was duck! Glad we got outta town when we did! Oregon State and U of O were playing their football game, called "the civil war"! The little town was getting busy!! It was a wonderful week! We spent one day at the ocean! It was a balmy 58*, and breezy. I wish I would have brought a kite!

Pacific Ocean






I thought this bridge was cool.




I'm guessing these people didn't have a good day. This was at a rest area.


Thanks for stopping by.

    I really like the ocean shots. That's not to say I don't like your ranch photos.

    It looks like a beautiful Thanksgiving. We have one of those crazy rivalry games in AZ, too, and ours is tomorrow night.

    That ocean is always a favorite with me. Had a friend just retire from the English department there so have visited a few times.

    Isn't it wonderful to see the waves crashing on shore? Glad you had a good day there.

    Nope, those folks definitely did NOT have a good day. And their trip was spoiled for sure.

    Yeah the ocean is quite beautiful. I like it in the winter--well summer too. haha Ouch to the poor folks at the rest stop. I wondered how that happened.
    Glad you had a good time. I bet Mike was happy to see you both.
    We will house sit again. promise not to trash the place. Sorry about letting the cows in the house.
