Love is in the Air

I awoke to a beautiful Valentine’s Day card (signed by both my husband and my dog), my favorite (and hard to find) perfume and coffee in bed. Shortly after coffee we layered on warm clothes, grabbed our hats and gloves, and headed for Lincoln City on the Oregon coast.

We gassed up, got more coffee at the gas station and drove west for the hour or so it takes to get to Lincoln City from Salem. We ate breakfast at Lil’ Sambos (not related to the Sambos Restaurants from the 1960s, but based on the same story – weird) and the place was packed with Valentine’s Day breakfast diners.

With tummies full we headed to the beach. The waves were HUGE! And strong. The tide was coming in and we saw a few people get their feet wet when they weren’t able to run from the water. It was COLD!!! We waited around for the predicted coastal storm, but it never happened - just a little rain.


Later this afternoon Betty and Ron got all gussied up for their big Valentine’s Day evening out at Morton’s – a fine dining restaurant here in West Salem. We snapped pictures before the lovebirds headed out. Don’t they look fab?!
