The fog ebbs and flows around the beaches and coves near Florence. For a few moments the sun will be out and the sky blue. Ten minutes later you are walking in a misty dream. 

The area is a tourist and retirement heaven. I can see why my husband’s aunt settled here— gorgeous beaches, golfing, fishing, nice restaurants and a healthy retirement community. 

 

We are driving down the coast to Florence Oregon to visit my husband’s family. A friend suggested just I say we are traveling to Florence as it sounds more exotic.

Florence Oregon may not be Florence Italy, however the beaches here are beautiful. I’ll let the sunset speak for itself. 

 

Happy October all.

Fall is setting in. The clouds and drizzle have returned though there are still plenty of sunny breaks in the afternoon.

Wednesday we had a video call with A&E. Some happy news from them. A month ago they took in a foster dog. More specifically their son, who lives with them, took in a foster dog. This dog had been neglected and was untrained. It didn’t know to potty outside and had never been on a leash. Fortunately, the dog was smart and trainable. After a month of patience, the dog is now friendly, cuddly, leash trained and goes to the bathroom outside. A permanent owner has been identified. Soon he will be in a new home.
