L3 Girls Weekend!
Nov 12th, 2020 by leigharev2
My precious friends Liann and Lacey and I get together once a year for a girls weekend. We go to a different location each year. Last year was Ashland, Oregon. We enjoyed Ashland so much, we decided to do it again this year.
However, Covid kiboshed that plan. They did not want to fly down. Then, a fire destroyed the towns nearby and the resources of Ashland were taxed during that time.
I threw out the idea of them visiting our new place and they they took me up on it! They came bearing housewarming gifts! A reminder to remember my roots! The photo is of Mt. Si in North Bend. Such a sweet and unique gift! They also arrived with a cherry pie with crumble topping from a pie shop nearby. I had to text David to tell him because it is his favorite!
We enjoyed the pie and got caught up a bit.
Then it was time to walk the beach!
After dinner, we took wine and chocolate to the beach and watched a magnificent sunset…
Walked Hug Point, then went to Seaside to buy some chairs we had our eye one. Lunch at The Sea for a yummy crab lunch! I wish I could post a photo of us there, but the file is corrupted and won’t upload.
About 10-11 years ago, the three of us got matching tattoos. Lacey brought a tattoo pen for fun and we got a little creative! They actually did look kind of real.

So fun!

Pizza and wine and sunset on the beach…ENCORE!!
Matching socks!
Where were the fellas you might ask? David took them to Portland for the weekend. They had a great time exploring around…

Not sure if Ryan will love or hate that I posted this…
The weekend was bliss and went by too fast. Breakfast at the wonderful Yolk restaurant and they were on their way….
Thrift Score
Nov 12th, 2020 by leigharev2
I always marvel at how two people can be raised in a similar manner yet still be so different. One of the differences our boys have is in regards to shopping, AKA “the hunt”.
Example: Clothing.
We give the boys the same amount of money for clothing allowance. Alex will go to the mall, pick one popular store, pick out a couple items, and is back home within the hour. He only wants black, classic style, and will pay full retail for a few nice items.
Ryan goes on the hunt. He will pick about five stores. He will go slowly through each store, but not buy anything. He will take note of items of interest. Then after going through all the stores, he will go through a second, sometimes even third, time, and also shop sales, and try to get the lowest price on similar items. He will walk away with more items. Most are bright colors with some sort of pattern or graphic.
I introduced the boys to thrift shopping a couple years back. Alex has no desire to shop them, but Ryan appreciates the hunt. Recently, I took him to a couple Goodwill Superstores along the Oregon coast. We both found a few items, but he was thrilled to discover this jacket. It’s a little large on him, but extremely comfortable. It’s also has many technical elements and is a terrific jacket. I don’t recall the price, but it was truly a score!

David and I set out with the dogs to enjoy coffee on the beach. It was a bit windy and a little chill, but an enjoyable moment of couple time, nonetheless.
Fun Time with Boys

The boys and I picked up Fish and Chips at this terrific food truck in Nehalem/ Riverside Fish & Chips. We ended up going to a park nearby and they played on the playground like when they were little. Captured some cute video.
