Tuesday

We went into Newport this afternoon and had lunch at the Lucky Thai Elephant (sorry, Matt & Chrissy), but they were out of mangoes. Sigh. The food was still wonderful! I got the Cashew Delight stir-fry.


Tom got the Hawaiian Fried Rice - with extra cilantro!

And Tom was a happy man!


But it's not just the lunch date...we have a new accessory. You know you are getting old when one of these makes you happy! So many things take on new importance as we have aged. Like bathrooms....

Our trip home wasn't bad. The weather was cloudy but mild. I always gauge the weather by how the trip across the bridge looks.





There's an old Crosby, Stills and Nash song ("I Almost Cut My Hair") that talks about feeling paranoid "...Like looking in my (rear-view) mirror and seeing a police car..." Well - we had one following us all the way from Newport to Waldport. Some feelings never go away. Still makes me nervous.
