Chillin' at the hotel in Newport
Can you tell the kids are watching network television? They're entranced. Scary. Glad we don't have it at home. I just thought these were funny pictures!
Yesterday we went out to the park for the first time in a while. We met some homeschooling friends there and the kids had fun running around and getting fresh air! OH yeah, and we got our tax returns today! That's exciting! Let's see...what else can I throw in before signing off??? Hmmm...not sure. We're going to get ready now and go seen Granner Selbia and maybe Aunt Adele. We bought them each a small pot of spring flower bulbs in bloom which will now be a belated Valentine gift. I haven't seen Aunt Adele since OCTOBER I think. Wow...that's ridiculous considering she's right down the road. Of course, with all the sickness we've had since then I can't very well visit people with comprimised immune systems! I can't believe how much sickness we've had here...5 colds and 2 flus since October. Fortunately everyone is WELL as PRESENT! Later...
MO's Restaurant in Newport!
Yes, we ate at the famed Mo's restuarant...their original location on the bayfront in Newport. I hadn't been there since we lived in Newport...so maybe 22 years! It still looks EXACTLY the same. Their heat wasn't working so it was FREEZING in there. That's why everyone is bundled up! It was not crowded like usual...guess that's one of the bonuses of midweek, midwinter travel & tourism!!! I had oysters, of course. My fave. Can't tell you what everyone else had but this is where Az threw up at the end of our meal because he was stuffing his food in so he could get candy next door at the candy shop. This is when we decided to never again use finishing all your dinner as a condition of a treat! 
The BEAUTIFUL Oregon Coast
We stayed in Newport where my Mother grew up and where we lived for a few years as well when I was younger.

Ok..so I'm editing this to say that I DID post a couple of these before. I just noticed this as I scrolled down the blog. I'm not going to delete them since they're worth looking at twice but I'll try not to double post pics in the future. GEESH. THIS is more difficult sometimes than it needs to be, I'm sure of it!
Although I HATE it of ME...
I'm posting this anyhow. Thank goodness I'm doing WW again and losing weight.
This picture was taken the night before Grampa Dave's (Mark's Dad) departure. We had a lovely visit while he was here.
