We had endured several <strike>years</strike> days of rain and on Saturday the sky was a brilliant blue and the sun was bright and warm. And the day was just made for exploring! We headed first to a new beach to explore-Short Beach. This beach is only reached by descending the more than 100 steps down over the steep hillside to the beach below. There are built in benches to rest and a odd little wooden building. (If one was blessed with an over-active imagination, then one could cook up all sorts of strange, odd, and eerie happenings in the little wooden building.) <br />
<br />
Beginning the descent. <br />

The trail of 101 steps was sure a good cardiac work out! And it was fun to explore a new beach. We plan to return when the tide is low, and we can do a bit more exploring.<br />

Please welcome my oldest son, Carson. Each day for school he is required to write a short composition, usually about two or three sentences. The subject is about something we are learning or discussing. The following is his composition from Friday. We are in the middle of a cowboy unit and had a lot of fun putting this story together.<br />
<br />
<br />
"Trouble on the Nestucca Bend Ranch"<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I am, Carson, the number one cowhand on the Nestucca Bend
Ranch.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My favorite bull pushed out the
fence, and headed for the river.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He
went to the river, got a drink, then crossed the river and wandered into the
logging zone.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He climbed through the forest
and headed up the mountain.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When I
realized he was missing I ran to the barn and got ready my horse Rocket.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We galloped down the rocky road toward the
river.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I spotted my bull’s hoof prints
on the far side of the river, so Rocket and I crossed over.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I followed the hoof prints left by my bull.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then my horse started getting antsy and
snorting and I was thinking a wolf must be near.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I noticed that there were wolf prints
following my bull’s hoof prints.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
pulled my gun out and continued on quietly and cautiously.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That’s when I saw a wolf slowly circling my
bull.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The wolf was growling and having a mad face
and my bull was snorting and pawing the ground.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I climbed quickly off my horse and tied him to a tree, then I climbed up
the tree so that I could get a good shot at the wolf, this also kept me hidden
from the wolf.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I waited for a clear shot
and then I pulled the trigger and killed
the wolf with one shot.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I climbed down
the tree, grabbed my lasso from my horse, roped my bull and we all headed back
to the Nestucca Ranch.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I think the bull
was happy to get back to his safe pasture.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>And we all lived happily ever after.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

I love her simple, folksy style, and her straightforward, heartfelt, transparent lyrics. I have listened by the hours to her music and whole heartedly believe that God has used her music to bring me much closer to Himself.<br />
<br />
The song "To the Moon" has fascinated me since the first time I heard it. The thought of a church actually taking their church to the moon is absurd and humorous; yet somehow it rings true to what I have observed throughout my lifetime. Some churches have a "circle the wagons" mentality- keep us all "safe" inside. I'm pretty sure that as a Christ-follower, that is not what I've been called to do.<br />

<strong>"To The Moon" by Sara Groves</strong><br />

<!-- start of lyrics -->It was there in the bulletin<br />
We're leaving soon<br />
After the bake sale to raise funds for fuel<br />
The rocket is ready and we're going to<br />
Take our church to the moon<br />

There'll be no one there to tell us we're odd<br />
No one to change our opinions of God<br />
Just lots of rocks and this dusty sod<br />
Here at our church on the moon<br />

They were back out again after dark. I think they were in and out about 7 different times throughout the day. And we got about 6 inches of snow, which is totally unheard of for this area. </div>

But alas after our 6 inches of snow, the forecast turned to endless days of rain..... ok, not quit endless.<br />
Our fun was about to be washed away.<br />

After hearing the weatherman mutter and sputter about the great white death that was to come we decided to leave early; that and we wanted to check out a little restaurant that served Bubble Tea. We loaded up the Yukon and headed over the coastal mountains to the "weird" city of Portland. Once we got into the city, it started to snow and traffic really began to slow down. We found our Bubble Tea place and stopped to try it. Interesting stuff!!<br />

Then it was a mad rush, at a snail's pace to get Aunt Di to the airport. The snow kept falling and the traffic kept getting slower. She did catch her Portland flight, only to miss her connecting flight...eventually she did make it back into Cincinnati. We on the other hand spent a total of 10 hours and 45 minutes in the car. Yes, almost 11 hours in the car for a round-trip that usually takes about 4 hours. We did stop at a doughnut shop and buy a dozen; everything goes better with a little sugar in your system! Meanwhile, the snow kept falling. Just before leaving the last of civilization we stopped at Little Caesars and bought supper; munching and crunching and slipping and sliding toward home.<br />

Here's a couple pictures of our adventurous travels. <br />

One of our favorite things to do is go to the beach and hang out. The coast is such a fun place to explore and investigate; no two visits are the same. The calmness/turbulence of the water, direction of the wind, position of the tide, roaring/quiet sound of the waves, condition of the sand, vessels on the water, shells, rocks and other "treasures" on the sand-it's always new, constantly changing. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Our family has had many moments of great fun. Happy squeals and lots of giggles are heard while we are racing and taunting the waves. We have also had our share of water filled boots and wet clothes when we underestimated the speed of a wave. </div>

Wave Racing is all about waiting, watching, listening, and waiting some more. It's all about judging the speed and distance of the wave and learning that the ocean is never predictable. <br />

Wave Taunting is fun, enjoyable and entertaining. It happens when you race those waves with "attitude". It's that "catch me if you can" mentality. Wave taunting happens more on sunny days, when the breeze is warmer and the waves are calmer and the feet are bare. <br />

And then after two weeks of visiting it was time to take Aunt Di back to the airport and send her on her way. The trip to and from Portland was certainly and adventure. We discovered Bubble Tea, she was almost late catching her flight, we spend a total of 10.45 hours in the car (it should have been a simple 4 hours). She missed her connecting flight..... but that's all for another post.</div>

But this dear visitor has certainly come the farthest- as in from another continent. We had a wonderful visit with Aunt Di. We adventured and explored and discovered, we talked and laughed and cried and then talked and laughed some more. <br />

This is the lightship Columbia WLV604 it was stationed at the mouth of the Columbia River from 1951-1979. It is now at the Maritime Museum in Astoria.<br />

We crossed the great Columbia River into the state of Washington so Aunt Di could say she'd been there. We also showed her Dismal Nitch. (but I didn't take any pictures of that on my camera)<br />

This is the Astoria Column. It overlooks the Columbia River and is covered with historical murals. Inside is a staircase leading up to a fantastic view. Aunt Di, Andy, Carson and Kenzie, braved the wind and rain to see the view. I opted to stay in the car with the littlest man. <br />

It seems that no adventure is complete without a coffee shop stop. This is the Three Cups Coffee House in Astoria, also home to the Columbia River Coffee Roaster. Aunt Di is at the counter ordering...<br />

They also had their own coffee tree complete with coffee cherries. I overheard a conversation with a costumer and one of the baristas about this being the first Oregon grown coffee beans, and that they had already harvested and roasted some of the cherries from their very own tree. Andy is thinking and dreaming....<br />

Then with hot drinks in hand we drove to Fort Clatsop. We had about 30 minutes until closing, but the weather was so disagreeable that we finished our exploration in record time. You may remember from my previous post that this is a replica of the fort built by Lewis and Clark.<br />

We celebrated New Years Eve by meeting some Emmett friends for lunch and having a small party with some neighbors, friends, and bacon wrapped figs. The party was over by 10pm, the kids tried to make it to midnight, but were unsuccessful. So 2014 just kind of snuck on in. <br />
This is my last post Highlighting our Holidays, we will now get on with life. <br />

Sunday morning, December 15th was the Kid's Christmas Program. They did a stellar job.</div>

Sunday evening was a special evening of music, including a Christmas Cantata. I didn't get any pictures, since I was singing my heart out in the choir. </div>

On the evening of December 22nd we had a fun gathering at our house. Between 6-8pm 35-40 people gathered, talked, laughed, ate food and just hung out. I'm pretty sure a good time was had by all!<br />

This package is for pastors to be able to relax, slow down, find quiet, reflect, and spend time with their family etc. Included in this deal is 4 days and three nights of comfortable accommodations. Also during your stay you have access to their beautiful campus, their gym, game area, indoor miniature golf, coffee/snack area and you are in walking distance of the ocean and the town of Cannon Beach. This quaint touristy town boasts of several coffee shops and several little stores that just beg to be explored. Cannon Beach is also home to the well-known Haystack Rock.<br />

Since Pops and Janet flew out on Tuesday, we dropped them off at the airport and headed right on up to Cannon Beach. This was what the scenery looked like through our travels. Beautiful heavy frost/snow combination.<br />

We were bummed that our company was leaving and glad to have something to occupy our minds. We checked in Tuesday afternoon, checked out our room and the campus, viewed a gorgeous sunset, got some supper, played a round of miniature golf, then watched Charlie Brown Christmas.<br />
<br />
Breath taking sunset!<br />

On Wednesday we did quite a bit of exploring. We drove up to Astoria and crossed the Columbia River and drove around a few minutes in the State of Washington....just to say we'd been there.<br />
<br />
We stopped at Dismal Nitch- this area received its name from Lewis and Clark. I found this a humorous sign and strongly encouraged Andy to get out and pose. Ha! Have you found your Dismal Nitch?<br />

Our church had a special tree decorating service. It's been a tradition for nobody knows how long. Everyone brings an ornament, explains why it's special to them and hangs it on the church Christmas tree. This is my homemade ornament. Carson helped me collect these pine cones when we lived in the great state of Idaho. My Idaho pinecone hanging on our Oregon Christmas tree.</div>

As you can see, blogging just didn't happen. But, I'm back.... <br />
<br />
We started celebrating way back at the beginning of November. Andy's parents drove out, yes I said they DROVE from Ohio. <br />
<br />
We went on some new adventures and revisited some old faithful favorites. One or our old favorites is the Tillamook Cheese Factory. That's a required stop for any of our visitors.<br />
<br />
Over the top with silliness! <br />

We crept slowly through the dark, rocky tunnel from Oceanside beach to Tunnel beach (super creative name for the beach). It's a portal to another world; Oceanside beach was sandy and smooth<br />
Tunnel beach was rough and rocky.<br />

This is a cool contraption that fires off a giant puff of air. I'm sure this was masterminded by some ornery optometrist somewhere. It is almost as bad as the glaucoma puff test.<br />

This post is dreadfully late.... but better late than never I suppose. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So this Trunk r Treat idea started growing in my mind early in the summer. I was talking with a friend over lunch one day about various outreach ideas. We brainstormed about locations for a trunk r treat. Out church is not located inside a town, but is beside a busy highway- not a great place to host a group of trick r treaters. Well as I learned more about my own little neighborhood... I found that this is the place where everyone brings their kids. So the perfect place for a trunk r treat was my driveway. Several of the church people joined in the fun. We had three "trunks" and two tents and you could really add to your candy stash as you made the rounds in our driveway. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We started the evening off with a pizza supper at our house. Then we set up our tents, mixed up the hot chocolate, and decorated our trunks. We had goody bags to pass out to the first 100 children and hot chocolate for the parents. We had at least 156 children make the round in our driveway... our next door neighbor who also attends our church, estimates it was closer to 175 kids. </div>

My thoughts on Halloween: I have never been a big fan of celebrating this day. I don't remember doing any trick r treating as a child. I don't like gross or crude costumes. I don't enjoy seeing crass lawn decorations. I think blood, guts and gore are just disgusting... unless its a true emergency. I don't like to be scared- I have been to two haunted houses in my life and that was two to many. And when you see witches, demons, devils etc. you should run like the wind! With that being said... one night a year, people will walk up my drive, and knock on my door looking for something. I have a choice to turn off my lights, and pretend not to be home; or I can open my door, turn on my lights and let the Light of Jesus shine out into my neighborhood. </div>

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Recently in Science we started a clean/dirty hands experiment. This started by me mixing up a special solution and letting it set up in the refrigerator. Then Carson went around the house touching LOTS of things until his hands were good and germy. Then he took a Q-tip and rubbed it all over his "dirty" hands.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<br />
Next he gently swiped the Q-tip across our homemade petri dish.<br />

<br />
After getting the "dirty" dish ready, he then cleaned his hands ( it was supposed to be with good 'ol soap and water, but I think he actually used hand sanitizer.) Then he again swiped his hands with a clean Q-tip and wiped it across the dish.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Once this was complete. We labeled them appropriately, sealed them each in their own Ziploc bag, placed them in a nice dark shoebox, put them on top of the refrigerator and waited for something to grow in our petri dishes. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Well we faithfully checked them, but I didn't do so well keeping up with the picture taking. With in a couple of days, small cloudy spots began to appear. This is what they looked like 9 days later. I find the clean dish rather interesting.... we may need to do some more work in the hand washing department.<br />

It's called Tierra Dell Mar. Usually we just drive onto the sand and then play close by. But this time we decided to park, walk and explore a new section of beach. Today the ocean seemed moody, shrouded in the mystery of fog and mist. She was loud and noisy with big splashing waves. She played tricks on us, drawing us farther and farther out and then surprising us with a big wave that came way up onto the beach. She's always cold but today she was freezing (well not literally). <br />
So we put on our coats and hats and mud boots and away we went to chase some waves and look for treasures.<br />

This little dude was unhappy for about the first 15 seconds, then he was happy.<br />
