Great fun at the beach! Congrats, Chris and Mike!!


1. Congratulations to the newly engaged couple!!!

Christine and Mike are very, very happy!
Had a wonderful visit with them. Am very delighted for them both.



This is the boat that Mike proposed to Chris on.
He was a deckhand on the many trips Chris had to do with ODFW.
She was tagging rockfish which meant going out on the water from Newport often and doing some fishing. They hit it off and have been together for over a year and a half.




Father-Daughter chat on the deck.




Future father-in-law and son-in-law engaged in crab talk!






So many crabs, so little time!




Wow! Who woulda thought!!?
Both of our children are going to be married soon.





Of course, one sooner than the other!!!

Yikes. only 3 months left you guys!






2. Christmas at Chris and Mikes!


Sweet little tree!



Extremely happy to get a "Food Saver."

All fishermen need one or two!!

They are both so happy!



Jim was happy to just be sitting with "man's best friend,"
Ella!



Look carefully at the pic below. In the center towards the horizon,
you can see 2 white puffs. Whale spouts. It's southern migration time and it was like a freeway in the ocean. Looking out of Chris' picture windows, I don't know how many whale spouts we saw! Made easy with calm sea and sunny weather.


3. Wonderful time with long time, best friends!!



Perfect weather for walking on the beach and taking pictures!



"Looking at you, looking at me.." for 32 yrs!!
Best friend ever!!




We have so much fun with these two!!!


King James on the "throne" at the Rogue Brewery.


Perfect day to visit the Yaquina Head Lighthouse!
What a view!!

At the Yaquina BAY Lighthouse near the jetty.
Hoping to catch Mike's boat coming into the jetty.


Steve and Jim make pretty darn good crab crackers!
Had 5 crabs for cocktails and salad. yummmy stuff.




Ahhhhh. Ambience and warmth!


The sun sets slowly into the mighty Pacific over
the Yaquina Bay bridge and bay.
So lovely....so wonderous!! The end of another perfect day.
Such a wonderful getaway!!! Time with people we love the most in life.
Those that are the closest to the heart....
