Home













I'm home, and tired and emotionally overwhelmed, but I am happy and I will regain my energy soon. I had trouble sleeping at my mom's, cities are very noisy and my house is very quiet.
My mom is getting better daily and as she does not like it if I say too much about my family on this blog, I will just leave it at that, the doctors are amazed at how fast she is improving. Thank you all so much for your prayers (keep them coming).
I took many photos, and will share the best ones here over the next week.
These are photos of the Oregon coast, taken on two different days, one was sunny, but the wind was terrible, the other day overcast, but much more calm. I also did these little videos, one of a crow and one of the spot I was standing, the ocean was way too loud to try and do a voice over.
Not the best video, but it was very hard to see what I was taking photos of without my glasses
:-). It does give you an idea of what it looks like there.
I missed you all so much and I will be catching up on your blogs in the next week.
Love. xoxo

Thanks for the videos of the ocean. I used to live in Virginia Beach and it was so nice to see and hear the waves.

Glad to have you back. Good to know your Mum is getting better and better. Now, I am near the sea again - in Mumbai. I love the sea.

Welcome back, Annie! Loved your photos of the Oregon coast...I've visited there many times and absolutely love it!

I'm so glad your Mom is feeling better as well. And now, with your mind at ease and memories of that wonderful ocean, you can concentrate on where you'll go next...

Your word verification is hectiest...I wonder if that is a sign of things to come?
