BEING 80 YEARS OLD

  

An 80th birthday is a milestone and my children made sure that it was special.  They sent us to Cannon Beach for two nights at the WAVES Hotel and treated me to a birthday dinner at a special restaurant.

To stay safe, we made a menu and took food to cook in our room, except for our one special dinner at the Wayfarer.

My personal chef, Roger, prepared a Persian recipe for eggplant omelet the first morning and we enjoyed a very lazy day.  We wanted to be very careful about covid exposure so we just took a short walk through downtown. and spent time on the patio overlooking the beach.

Today we slowly made our way back home to Portland.  Unfortunately, the smoke here is very thick but we are thankful that we're safe from the wild fires.

There is so much to be thankful for - long life - good health - love and companionship - fabulous children, family and friends.

Being 80 is GREAT!
