Today is Jean’s birthday and we are celebrating at one of her favorite places, the Pacific Ocean beaches of western Washington. Happy Birthday!
A morning walk in 40 mph winds is a brisk beginning to the day. There are birds, grasses, flotsam, and wonderful flurries of spindrift whipped from the waves by the wind.
This is our home for the week – Worldmark Long Beach. We’ve been here many times and settled in quickly.

Thanks my dear, at 75 I’m not that far behind you.
Hope you enjoyed the day!
Thanks. It was great.
Dear Jean – Happiest of birthdays! So glad you’re a beach in ALL weathers gal (me too)! See you guys soon. Love, ace & marco
Thanks, dear friend. We had a wonderful time at your dinner party; good food, good friends, and lots of laughter, a winning combination:)
Happy Birthday, Jean. I remember your years in Grayland, and how much you loved living at the beach even if it meant a 50-mile roundtrip to Aberdeen to pick up the mail!
It was a magical time. I remember your first visit there when you slept away the afternoon in the corner. No sleeping in the middle of the day on your subsequent visits, though. The mayhem of family visits for long holiday weekends were too noisy for that:)
Happy Day, Jean! To be so young again….
ah well,
much love, Doniella
