John and I had a great weekend at Lincoln City! I had a slight cold that turned into full-blown sick but not until Monday, so I thank God for giving me enough health to really enjoy our time together. Sunday was cold and drizzly but Saturday’s weather was like this: Overcast, a February on the beach. It made the patches of stubborn sunlight breaking occasionally through even more spectacular, more appreciated. There was no wind and very little rain so we walked for an hour or two, and explored tidal pools in the rocks:


We stayed at a rented home, which was much more comfortable than a hotel (and about $100 less expensive) We rented a movie (Fireproof-it was really good) and ate out a lot. We tried all new restaurants, and none that kids would like! John hates Thai food, but loves me and so he took me to a restaurant named Andaman. They had the best Padang Curry I’ve ever tried, and even John agreed it was “pretty good”. Love those little victories…my goal is to win him over to Thai completely, someday…
and John even found a few heart rocks for our collection. I am always amazed at how he spots them! I haven’t found ONE. But he’s a rockhound, and has the eyes for it…
John and Caleb are over their colds. Now it is Josiah, Sam and Mom’s turn to be miserable. Families share love AND germs, ya know.

Yesterday and today I’ve had the pounding headache, body aches, swollen, burning throat, plugged sinuses, and aching fatigue. I haven’t felt this ill in a long time, and I’m no pretty picture in my old green bathrobe, unwashed hair and my pockets stuffed with kleenex! You could blame it all on a cold virus but I suspect it’s more. Adding to my physical ailments is the very real adjustment to being back to the housework and the homeschooling and more cooking and don’t forget laundry…
I may never recover.
