I haven't blogged in awhile.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Stereotactic Brain Irradiation Procedure has taken it out of me a bit.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I did work the Flea Market in our booth.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was so great to see some great friends.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Jeremy, Mindy, Julie, Vic, Sylvia, Darwin, Brent, John, Kris, Barbara, Linda, Michael, Lori and the list goes on and on of such wonderful people who are our friends who stopped by the Flea Market.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Flea Market was a huge success. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We need to do that again before long.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At least I think so anyway.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Spring has truly arrived.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Rhododendrons have begun to bloom. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love this time of year.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The neighbors have this little beauty blooming right now.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had to share.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We went by Bob's Beach Bookstore the other day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We were getting a gift certificate for the Treasure Hunt.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I turned around and guess what?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A sock monkey.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They're taking over the planet.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thank you again everyone for all the support.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For any names I neglected to mention here I am sorry.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Short term memory loss is a real problem right now.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If not written down it may be gone forever.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will try to blog more and get my business gear engaged.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You all have a wonderful day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will.</div>

I realized I had not blogged in awhile.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also realized that some people get their information about us through the blog.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So here is a quick update.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is a picture of my family & friends, like family, who came to support me one week ago.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-G5a7S2ZDrt0/UWWz9MX6bUI/AAAAAAAAA2o/PBiCAJQO9a8/s1600/resistance+is+futile.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-G5a7S2ZDrt0/UWWz9MX6bUI/AAAAAAAAA2o/PBiCAJQO9a8/s320/resistance+is+futile.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As you know, I had a AVM Stroke on December 7th, my Pearl Harbor.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On Wednesday, April 3rd, I was given a</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Stereotactic Brain Irradiation Procedure utilizing a Radiosurgery Frame.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My surgery was done by putting bolts to hold a frame on my skull.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Radiation was then shot to my trouble spot using </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
various angles using the frame to bolt me to a table.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then the frame and bolts were taken off.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We won't know for sure for 2 or 3 years whether we were successful.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today is the first day since the Radiation Surgery</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
have I felt somewhat normal again.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So that is it in a nut shell.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Mall is doing an outside Flea Market on the Holmes Road Side</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Saturday, April 20th.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have full intentions of being at that fun event.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope I see you there.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I won't have the head frame on I promise!!</div>

Just a simple blog today.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Happy Easter!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have a great day no matter how you celebrate the Holiday.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We are going to be open this year because it is Easter last day of Oregon Spring Break and first real day of Washington's Spring Break. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am going to be there.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yes, I am going to wear a hat.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have a great day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will!</div>

We have been busy lately.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We have been trying to get a new site up and running.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The site would assist visitors or shoppers purchasing things online safely.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Those would be items in the Mall or just placed up on the site itself.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You would need to check from time to time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We are getting close so thought we'd share the initial look.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We are getting there and we owe Alan Owen a huge THANK YOU</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for all the help getting the site beginning.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://littleantiquemallmarket.com/index.html" target="_blank">http://littleantiquemallmarket.com/index.html</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That is what we are working on.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We hope to see you there and we call it</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Little Antique Mall Market!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Meanwhile, Linda has been busy finding Siltez Indian Baskets.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are just a couple of beauties she has brought in lately.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No one has been slacking as you can see. LOL</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know you have been busy, too.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We'll get caught up here on the blog soon.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Until then enjoy life</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I do!</div>

I had received a card made by Paul and Mika who are </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Dealers of the Little Antique Mall.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is so creative and special I needed to share it with you.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is made to unfold and I can't show that but each page I can share with you.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--TXzBWXip5w/UUnruI49hrI/AAAAAAAAA1g/tcTDycKd428/s1600/1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--TXzBWXip5w/UUnruI49hrI/AAAAAAAAA1g/tcTDycKd428/s320/1.jpg" width="187" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Each page of the fold is imaginative and with wonderful words.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Each photograph taken by Paul and Mika are captivating.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-cJJ_B9eCO24/UUnr80jiQqI/AAAAAAAAA1o/LCYiUi7gJy0/s1600/2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-cJJ_B9eCO24/UUnr80jiQqI/AAAAAAAAA1o/LCYiUi7gJy0/s320/2.jpg" width="189" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There is joy in every photo.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is whimsical, at times, which always brings me high spirits.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-bzcB-Dm-WUs/UUnsWHUbCuI/AAAAAAAAA1w/8yCyXypJChE/s1600/3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-bzcB-Dm-WUs/UUnsWHUbCuI/AAAAAAAAA1w/8yCyXypJChE/s320/3.jpg" width="186" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The last fold contains more gracious words from Paul and Mika.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Also a pleasant picture of a piece of Paul's art.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We are so glad they are in our lives and in our Mall.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-r90NedzCouc/UUnsln4VkdI/AAAAAAAAA14/E5s7zUXBFrc/s1600/4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-r90NedzCouc/UUnsln4VkdI/AAAAAAAAA14/E5s7zUXBFrc/s320/4.jpg" width="189" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was one of the best created cards I had ever received.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Although I must admit I love all the cards & flowers I have been sent.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As you know I had a AVM Stroke December 7th, 2012.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am at risk of another occurring if I don't follow directions closely.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
April 3rd Stereotactic Radiosurgery will be performed on me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is a highly precise form of radiation therapy and they deliver</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
precisely targeted radiation.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It will be our hope that within several years my AVM risk will then be gone.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Until then I do what I am told.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Enjoy every moment of life.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Enjoy every one of you.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I look forward to success.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I look forward to getting out and seeing how creative you all are.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know you can't mail it all to me. LOL</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thank you Paul and Mika.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thank you to all of my friends and family here.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You all mean so much to me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I took a quick walk around the Mall the other day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I couldn't help but notice the gym locker that was for sale.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They are hot right now and the price is good on this one.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-mU-RpaHsAaI/UUCz1dothDI/AAAAAAAAA0Q/9UT6FjYDZeM/s1600/locker1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-mU-RpaHsAaI/UUCz1dothDI/AAAAAAAAA0Q/9UT6FjYDZeM/s320/locker1.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you didn't like the color it would be easy to paint.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think they are so cool.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I use a swimming pool locker for my dresser and I LOVE it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-k4IsXaZHALk/UUC0Fb3MbRI/AAAAAAAAA0Y/W7dAIktPQ9k/s1600/locker.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-k4IsXaZHALk/UUC0Fb3MbRI/AAAAAAAAA0Y/W7dAIktPQ9k/s320/locker.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I found that one in our Mall, liked the color, so moved it right in.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then you just decorate around it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The little salesman sampler caught my eye.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It can't be over 12 inches tall.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is to show a window with shutters.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Very unusual to see or to find one.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We have always enjoyed primitives.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In fact we've collected primitives for years now.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This screened cupboard is adorable.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Someone needs to get it before I can't resist the temptation.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The same Dealer brought in an incredible piece of majolica.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is a cake saver/server and is in perfect shape.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have never seen another majolica one in all the time </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we have been in business.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This photograph does not do it justice but it was the best I could do.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Enjoy this beauty.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It just doesn't show how large it is which is too bad.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Check it out when you come visit us at our Mall.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Easter is fast approaching so this sign brought in is fitting.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is precious and won't last long during the Easter Season.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

If I could only find a big enough spot on the wall. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you enjoyed the quick trip around the Mall with me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I did!</div>

I had talked about aquariums and love of salt aquariums.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our dear friends Vic and Trudy came to the beach and made a visit.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Vic and Trudy had salt water aquariums and are quite knowledgeable.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They brought me a huge selection of equipment</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and books on salt water aquariums.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As a gift.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I kid you not.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was so excited and so grateful.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have enough equipment now to open a Sea World right here in my home!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is a picture of just some of the books</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and I didn't take any pictures yet of the equipment.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5gm21wTl17c/UTyMBLm1okI/AAAAAAAAA0A/l35TNqkSUwc/s1600/books.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5gm21wTl17c/UTyMBLm1okI/AAAAAAAAA0A/l35TNqkSUwc/s320/books.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Vic and Trudy understand how aquariums can take your mind to a peaceful place.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He had aquariums for a long time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now their farm takes their time and love so they had stopped with the aquariums.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I became the beneficiary of their wonderful collection of aquarium supplies.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I realize, like any collection, I am they caretaker of it for now.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What joy that brings me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Dan and I had a nice lunch with Vic and Trudy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We enjoyed the time and it went so fast.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I learned so much and I look forward to the next opportunity.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So how do I thank Vic and Trudy?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I will think of something.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But right now I say to them:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">THANK YOU!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

I have been busy setting up a small aquarium.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is fresh water and just some relaxation nearby.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Also, to prepare setting up a salt water environment.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It has been awhile so easing back into the hobby.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We've lost a couple of fish.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I suspect a rough crowd in this small tank.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It has taken a lot of time away from blogging.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I'm out to strike some balance.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There is also some stuff at the Mall I want to </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
photograph and talk about here.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Until then here is a picture of one of the trouble makers.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had lunch with Father Bob and Dan today.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you had a good day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have!</div>

Change has begun since my AVM Stroke December 7th, 2012.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Mall needs to change. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All things need to change and grow.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We have decided to leave Bridgetown Coffee after 14 years.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No reason to go into it just leave it at as change.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Change is good.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We are going with <b>Longbottom Coffee and Tea, Inc.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They have a great product.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Based in Hillsboro and been in business for 32 years.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They know Coffee and Tea Products.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-t_zYt5-KYfk/US6CikC0kWI/AAAAAAAAAy8/1GkSGO1lINI/s1600/img030.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-t_zYt5-KYfk/US6CikC0kWI/AAAAAAAAAy8/1GkSGO1lINI/s320/img030.jpg" width="247" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Matt, our representative from the Company, is also one of our fine Dealers.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Matt was never aggressive about doing coffee business with us.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But when we were ready for a change he was eager to have the business.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No one else had ever asked us before.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thank you Matt.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Longbottom Coffee and Tea, Inc</b>. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
does great work around their community.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In fact they work and assist around the world.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Their values reflect our values so it seems natural</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we should be in business together.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/--2EfofvsO4k/US6DUBDkEbI/AAAAAAAAAzI/EwyZcgdIfqQ/s1600/img031.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/--2EfofvsO4k/US6DUBDkEbI/AAAAAAAAAzI/EwyZcgdIfqQ/s320/img031.jpg" width="247" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Come on in and get a cup of coffee, mocha or latte.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We believe you will love their product when you come to visit us.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We are in transformation.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This weekend the Beach Boys are performing at<b> </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Chinook Winds Casino and Resort</b>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://chinookwindscasino.com/the-beach-boys.html" target="_blank">http://chinookwindscasino.com/the-beach-boys.html</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We decided to have a Treasure Hunt themed around the Beach Boys event.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We hid a red rubber duck.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you find it you will win the Treasure Hunt Gift Package.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For this Treasure Hunt the package contains:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>A Rolling Stones Encyclopedia of Rock and Roll</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Little Antique Mall T-Shirt</b></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>$20 Little Antique Mall Gift Certificate</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So change and a Treasure Hunt.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sounds like a fun weekend to me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

I have had a block trying to come up with a blog lately.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sometimes it just requires me to start something. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anything.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I am having coffee early this morning in my office upstairs.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I look across the room and there it is.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A very small baby sock monkey hanging on the corner of a window.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You all know about my sock monkey fixation.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Where did this baby sock monkey come from?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What is going on?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Dan is battling a mean one at our Mall.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We have a family of sock monkeys here at the house.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now a baby one.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sock monkeys are taking over!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh dear!</div>

I am all about no stress these days.</div>

Yesterday was a beautiful day. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A deck day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not quite as nice today </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but my sister is coming so I will be busy!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My pictures aren't too good today but it is spring.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Daffodils have begun to truly bloom.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-eMh15iw_CDY/UR_cM_F4L5I/AAAAAAAAAws/mLLCW7Gw2HQ/s1600/1dafodill.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="194" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-eMh15iw_CDY/UR_cM_F4L5I/AAAAAAAAAws/mLLCW7Gw2HQ/s320/1dafodill.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Even the miniature version of the daffodil is blooming in the yard.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They are so cute. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So tiny.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our southern property line is planted with Camellia bushes or trees now.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There must be 8 or 9 of them and they, too, have begun to bloom.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BoMG9Fh8PA8/UR_cweM7xQI/AAAAAAAAAw8/psDRuW7qOMQ/s1600/1camellia.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BoMG9Fh8PA8/UR_cweM7xQI/AAAAAAAAAw8/psDRuW7qOMQ/s320/1camellia.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is truly spring in the air.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love Camellias and there are over 3,000 types.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Camellias originally came from eastern and southern Asia.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In a week or two they will be just covered with beautiful flowers.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The few peaking out now gives me hope.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Wizard of OHSU has given me a path to follow.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
5 or 6 weeks of more stress free quiet.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then radiation while my head is bolted to a table for 8 hours.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then we wait for a long time to see if it did the job.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That's it in a nut shell.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am happy to know what I will be doing next.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you are having a great day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am.</div>

I made Dan act in my movie yesterday at the Mall.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He was a good sport.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had fun and it is showing up everywhere</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I thought I'd better put a link here, too.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is fun.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'll blog more later today.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you laugh.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We sure have.</div>

I realized tomorrow was Valentines so I needed to gather </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
my home made cards for people.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had them sorted and out for Daniel to take to work for me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had worked hard on these little cards.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The first time I have done that in years.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-l-FZG-q09j8/URwz53f2dwI/AAAAAAAAAv4/OUrYrM54JZk/s1600/hip2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="233" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-l-FZG-q09j8/URwz53f2dwI/AAAAAAAAAv4/OUrYrM54JZk/s320/hip2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I took a picture for the "record."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And then found myself wanting to take a picture of cards we had made recently.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What is going on?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-nVOz8yypJrw/URw0IuKk-9I/AAAAAAAAAwA/FFBV1jWCKfA/s1600/hip1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="285" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-nVOz8yypJrw/URw0IuKk-9I/AAAAAAAAAwA/FFBV1jWCKfA/s320/hip1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I haven't crafted anything since the 70's and it was macrame!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think I'd better keep an eye on this new craft thing I seem to be picking up. LOL</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On another note I purchased a new dresser.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is an old swimming pool locker for visitors.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is just perfect and I had started to work it into the room when I took this picture.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is so cool. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-td2nNnFsfsg/URw0o2PrBxI/AAAAAAAAAwI/yzcVmsUkI4A/s1600/hip3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-td2nNnFsfsg/URw0o2PrBxI/AAAAAAAAAwI/yzcVmsUkI4A/s320/hip3.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I'm all done it will look perfect.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And the function to hold socks and things couldn't be better for me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Old and funky too.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's a winner.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tomorrow, early, we have to meet with the Wizard of OHSU!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We are getting all the data on radiation treatment as a possibility.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is the last bit of data we need to make the next decision.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am ready to move on so let's get the rest of the info.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Let's make that decision!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you all had a good day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I did.</div>

Robert Portwood has owned Robert's Bookshop for over 25 years now.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yes the Bookshop is an institution and deserved its own poster!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Muln70p4sPY/URq1e6endhI/AAAAAAAAAuE/1VQMSalz42g/s1600/robert111.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Muln70p4sPY/URq1e6endhI/AAAAAAAAAuE/1VQMSalz42g/s320/robert111.jpg" width="243" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Robert's Bookshop is located at:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3412 S.E. Highway 101</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lincoln City, Oregon 97367</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
541-994-4453</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just coming close to his building you realize it is a special place.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-UZ3hhRH2ofA/URq140eT2kI/AAAAAAAAAuM/5IwFuVWzC9E/s1600/bob1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="290" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-UZ3hhRH2ofA/URq140eT2kI/AAAAAAAAAuM/5IwFuVWzC9E/s320/bob1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We have left the car in the parking lot and rounded</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the corner to find the front door.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yes I will repeat we knew we had found a special place.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-kWINtGXpwyM/URq2JAyG2II/AAAAAAAAAuU/3xCIjS9iEGU/s1600/bob2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-kWINtGXpwyM/URq2JAyG2II/AAAAAAAAAuU/3xCIjS9iEGU/s320/bob2.jpg" width="223" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mermaids are magical at the beach.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This one is beautifully painted near the very front door.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You must pause and check it out as Dan did.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The building is huge and every nook and corner is filled with books.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I swear if it has been published there must be a copy at Robert's Bookshop</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pSb8eIVUvPA/URq2p9gnsHI/AAAAAAAAAuc/eYucGpsq8uM/s1600/bob8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pSb8eIVUvPA/URq2p9gnsHI/AAAAAAAAAuc/eYucGpsq8uM/s320/bob8.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are thousands of books.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Many hard backs but soft backs, too.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Robert has just acquired a huge collection of paper back books.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These books are very rare and are mostly science fiction, gore and pulp fiction.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-cj8xtKWavDA/URq3BZDJeMI/AAAAAAAAAuk/jxV_LpqtGiU/s1600/bob3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="299" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-cj8xtKWavDA/URq3BZDJeMI/AAAAAAAAAuk/jxV_LpqtGiU/s320/bob3.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The collection is still being unpacked and put on book shelves in order.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-eXYVowwtSGQ/URq3QodHC0I/AAAAAAAAAus/JVHTGtl5hU4/s1600/bob5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-eXYVowwtSGQ/URq3QodHC0I/AAAAAAAAAus/JVHTGtl5hU4/s320/bob5.jpg" width="313" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This room will be a private room once ready for the public to enter.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Again I stress they are still arranging, cataloging</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and placing the books of this collection.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This room will have the best protection of the entire Bookshop.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I kid you not. Just check this out.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Km6RZ2KzD9o/URq3sNz3r1I/AAAAAAAAAu0/D9OgAhRiD1w/s1600/bob7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Km6RZ2KzD9o/URq3sNz3r1I/AAAAAAAAAu0/D9OgAhRiD1w/s320/bob7.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Dan is trying to exit the special room and </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
found he was locked behind the old jail door.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It will be used and is being used. No one just enters or leaves at whim.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They will have a staff member with them in this part of the Bookshop at all time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can't wait to spend some time there in the very near future.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Linda is a long time employee of Robert Packwood's at his Bookshop.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Linda has also been a dear friend of ours for many years as well.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We were so happy she took the time to show us around.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It has been way too long since we visited the Bookshop.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Robert's Bookshop also has an amazing collection of </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Pulp Art used for books in the past.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know the pictures of this art would be better with a real camera.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But my cell phone is the best I can do.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Check out the art for sure.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Robert even has some vintage entertainment posters.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There is even antique toys here and there.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Bookshop is a must stop.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know I can spend more then just a few hours to do Robert Bookshop's justice.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is incredible. It is fascinating. It is awesome.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is a most astonishing shop.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You will never tire of the experience and you'll always see something new.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Plan on spending some time and not to be disappointed.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We hope you will enjoy it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We did!</div>

Valentine is coming up on us quickly.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Danielle just put up a great look at heart shaped objects on her blog.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love it and I hope you will check it out. </div>

Danielle used to work for us and we miss her so much.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She has returned to Arizona but she is still on log and in our hearts.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will do another blog right behind this but Danielle deserves her own mention.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We love you Danielle and Kirk, too!</div>

Paul and Mika are Dealers 13 in our Mall.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They have been with us for a number of years now.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can't remember exact time but they are part of the Mall family for sure.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Paul and Mika decided to take more space..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They took a corner booth in what we call our "back" room.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What a wonderful surprise they did with their additional space.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I mean look at this.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Paul and Mika repurpose old objects.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Reinventing their purpose.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So clever and such enjoyment.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Look at their sign.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

Paul and Mika take an old window.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It now has new life.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You may see it in a home kitchen or a restaurant maybe.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is just plain cool.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That's all I need to say. </div>

It is important to do some other things while out shopping</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for Antiques and Collectibles.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At least it is for us and generally it involves food. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not always but food is at the top of the list for us.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will be listing our favorite places as if entering Lincoln City</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
from the North on Highway 101.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our first stop would be <b>Wildflower Grill</b>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
4250 NE Hwy. 101</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
541-994-9663</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Vicky and Chuck own the restaurant. They do a great job with food. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They also have a charming glassed in dining area </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
where you overlook a wonderful small pond. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You will see all kinds of wild animals and birds. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A must experience to be sure.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Virtually next door to our business the Little Antique Mall is</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Rockfish Bakery Cafe</b>.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They also do a special dinner one night a month. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Prior reservations only and limited space so book quick </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
or you will miss a dinner that is extraordinary!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Heading south on Highway 101 we find another favorite restaurant.</div>

As we travel south we get to see one of my favorite views along our part </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
of the Central Oregon Coast. It is in the Taft area and is</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
easily seen from your car. </div>

An easy place to park and enjoy the view.</div>

I never become bored with this view.</div>

It is dynamic and changing sometimes moment by moment as the Siletz Bay</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Jeannie is a fabulous person. Yes I used the fabulous word and it's true.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We met her years ago and came to enjoy her and her sister so very much.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

For Antique Week <b>Nelscott House</b> is offering 20% off store wide.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Nelscott House</b> is also conducting a drawing for a glass float to the winner.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Register there and while there Jeannie is offering cookies and coffee.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You had better beat me to the cookies. LOL</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We travel on down south and come into the Cutler City area of our town.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Street Car Village is the last business area in Lincoln City</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and it houses 6 businesses.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
All of those antique businesses are worth checking out but our favorite is:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Seriously Brett and Sharon put together a look that I would call "trend setting."</div>

Beautiful. Artful. Innovative.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tomorrow we go up to Portland so I can see the Wizard of OHSU again.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This time they are going back into my head to get the latest map.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then shortly thereafter they will reenter to repair the damage</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and potential damage sites.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just put this out there because lots of people ask.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am ready. Let's get to work and get things fixed so I can get back to work.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These fine men and women, at OHSU, are some of the best in the world.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They are ready to take the job on and do so often.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will keep you all informed.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have a great blog coming up in a few days so check back.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I have got to tell you the weather has been amazing the last two days.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is just like summer here at the Central Oregon Coast.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Even I joined the dogs soaking it all in.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-IrW8pMZafsE/UQ2vmqhoQXI/AAAAAAAAAn4/uqg8k3G7qc4/s1600/dogs.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="140" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-IrW8pMZafsE/UQ2vmqhoQXI/AAAAAAAAAn4/uqg8k3G7qc4/s320/dogs.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That picture was from yesterday but today was a duplicate.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Warm, sunny and relaxing in the sun rays.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have had a hard time getting my head into blog mode.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think sometimes it is just like the gym.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The hardest part is going in!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This picture by J. Hill I am very fond of.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In my opinion he has kept it eclectic with a cross and a nod to blood on the cross.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
His paintings go fast and range generally from $45-$85 dollars.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The average is $65.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Great deals and you can switch it out in a room for not much money.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So many of us love J. Hill's work.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Japanese fishing floats from the past will be featured</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
in Lincoln City during Antique Week.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Lincoln City VCB will be placing 300 Japanese Glass Floats</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
at random day times and beach places during that 10 day period.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Of course heavy storms would prevent the volunteers</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
on going out on the beach to "plant" glass floats.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am sure you understand.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Antique Week is February 8-18th this year</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
More details at:</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Dealer 19, Ken and Cindy, have a great collection of fishing floats</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
from around the world.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Virtually all fishing civilizations used the glass floats at one time or another.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These are great floats--the double float is rare.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are those pesky price tags, too.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I need more time in the Mall alone so I can rearrange for shooting pictures.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Paul, and his wife Mika, Dealers 13 just took a spot in the back room, also.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Paul has done an incredible job constructing the walls and ceiling in his space.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will photograph it soon and show you.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All I have now is a picture of a crow sign they put in.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Crazy and cool.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I would do something with it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Repurpose it and place it in the house.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thank you for checking in.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am okay.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Getting my "head" ready for the Tuesday OHSU visit!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am ready to roll and get back to business</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and to seeing all of you.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I truly miss you.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you had a great day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

This blog will jump about a bit.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Typical for me it seems anyway!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our Dealers are busy getting ready for the Lincoln City Antique Week 2013.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Year number 24, I believe, is for this tradition.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Linda and Michael have been Dealers at the Little Antique Mall for many years</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They specialize in native aboriginal arts and artifacts.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This picture, from one of their cases, shows a wonderful assortment.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A Skookum Doll, a Finland canoe (or maybe Greenland I should have taken a note on that), NW carved Totem Pole, basketry and other tribal items for sale.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-SiQp1gOXwvU/UQmPdaxy9QI/AAAAAAAAAmo/Gkaz3utx-k4/s1600/1linda.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-SiQp1gOXwvU/UQmPdaxy9QI/AAAAAAAAAmo/Gkaz3utx-k4/s320/1linda.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This next picture of Linda and Michaels merchandise could</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
sure have used a better photographer.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But that is the best Rick can do.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The hand made Pinocchio and fired clay native pots, from South West America, are amazing!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-X3V8M5nEoN4/UQmQswNLXHI/AAAAAAAAAmw/INsdshPqmew/s1600/2linda.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-X3V8M5nEoN4/UQmQswNLXHI/AAAAAAAAAmw/INsdshPqmew/s320/2linda.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Linda and Michael also host a wonderful collection of Oceanic merchandise.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The Southern Pacific is a region they love to visit and collect.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This photo also shows NW Tribal arts and much more.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-LkZ7pmnY_4k/UQmRTrq5XBI/AAAAAAAAAm4/bIfmNeUsnu0/s1600/3linda.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-LkZ7pmnY_4k/UQmRTrq5XBI/AAAAAAAAAm4/bIfmNeUsnu0/s320/3linda.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am sorry for all the price tags showing. I prefer to arrange items to be photographed with the price tags unseen. Today the time had ran out so I had to shoot what I could. The tags distract from the beautiful items in the pictures. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am sorry for them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The next photo Linda and Michael have on display is a gorgeous </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Siletz Indian Basket.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is a spectacular Siletz Basket and surely one of the </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
collectors will add it to their collection soon.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love artifacts that were produced here by the members of the </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Confederated Tribes of the Siletz Nation. Obviously the older pieces were done at a difficult and unfair time to our Tribal friends.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-48AiSa6gHrA/UQmSRwF8TBI/AAAAAAAAAnA/u_tS07BI3bA/s1600/4linda.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-48AiSa6gHrA/UQmSRwF8TBI/AAAAAAAAAnA/u_tS07BI3bA/s320/4linda.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Obviously there are many beautiful pieces in that photo. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am just attracted to Siletz Indian items.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We drove to Newport this morning, early, to pick up </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
supplies for the Espresso Cart.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was grey and we were in the cloud bank itself most of the time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Dan was driving and I tried to take some pictures.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Not so successful today. LOL</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here is an "okay" picture of the Siletz Bay. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As you know the Siletz River flows into the bay.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love this area it is so beautiful.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Fogarty Creek Beach and State Park is just a bit further south.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is also a beautiful area. We used to be able to find floats there. I don't know if floats show up there or not anymore.</div>

Yesterday Dan took some photos. We were having some silly fun.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Dan made that horse for his sister's Paint Horse Farm many years ago.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They sold off all the Paints and the barn property, too.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am glad he kept the horse cut out. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Memories.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My mind is thinking about this coming Tuesday.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They will be going in on a basic recon of the brain area that caused </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the problems by leaking blood into my brain.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The team will go into my head to map out the current situation </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
before they go in a short time later for major repairs.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The physicians are brilliant and kind</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am ready to get it over with. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Tuesday will be my 3rd trip by experts into my brain.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am frightened at times.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Dan is terrified.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Please help Dan while I am away. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I could relax knowing others were near by.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Serious I know.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Life is an adventure and I enjoy it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Even today I hope you had a good day.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I know I have!</div>

And yes it will be personal.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Went to OHSU to meet the doctor and some of his team.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Nice and smart group of individuals.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am in good hands.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In brief...appointment calls on Monday and we go in within 10 days.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They will be back into my brain for more recent information.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is deep and they travel via catheter inserted in an artery (maybe that is a vein)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and away the go to take a look.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Within 20 days of that appointment they will be back in for the</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
tough reassemble and permanent artery's area dams.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hopefully then it is just recovery.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hopefully no additional problems and opening the skull to do the work.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If they have to open the skull that changes everything for me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For now stress free environment!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will be successful.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The medical professionals will be successful.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My family and friends will be successful.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Interesting times.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With all the prayers and good energy only the easy way will work!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thank you all for your support.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It means to us more then words can express.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have a great evening everyone.</div>

The best part of this picture is the sun being reflected on my sunglasses.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was such a warm January day a few days ago it was almost summer like.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And to have a picture of it makes me happy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Friday morning, tomorrow, we leave early for Portland.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We get to sit down with the experts and develop the strategy</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for my further health treatment.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am a bit nervous but the progress we have made on </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
my stroke is incredible.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All will be well and as it should be.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Enjoy the journey.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I thought I'd talk a bit about what we call our back room.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It really was built onto to the main building when the</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cline's had the hardware store.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The addition is 5,000 square feet and is the "newest" part of our building.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Because there is a ramp down to it's floor level we always call it the back room.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In fact it held the lumber and all kinds of big things.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You never know what you will find in the back room.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is an overflow area available only to our front mall dealers.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The other morning I took a look around with no overhead lights on.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We need to do that for you sometime.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh look...I found you know who watching me!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I find him and his family members in the oddest places sometimes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The back mall area has a variety of merchandise.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just whimsical which always interests me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Old painted boards given new purposes catch my eye!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Lighting is difficult to take pictures in and you know that from my past blogs.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Al and Carol always have fun stuff in their back booth.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
From old signs to very old ship wheels.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Booths just with their own lighting on (none of our overheads on) things seem warmer to me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Especially in person as opposed to my phone camera shots.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Pendleton provides a wonderful wool product.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Some of us collect the old wool Pendleton and some collect new products.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And them some of us collect both. LOL</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This old Pendleton sign is quite nice.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Purple chairs are interesting.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A more seventies look and are sitting right next to much older things.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'll bet the chairs won't be around long.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ok23h_PH7sM/UQCElezaK8I/AAAAAAAAAlA/XEvwT-YqoQE/s1600/shot6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ok23h_PH7sM/UQCElezaK8I/AAAAAAAAAlA/XEvwT-YqoQE/s320/shot6.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And then right around the corner John and Kris found this pair of chairs.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Made from oak and I have no idea who made them!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I would guess English but that is just a guess.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They will look spectacular in the right spot.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just a quick look around the "back room."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Come to see for yourself soon.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was nice to keep things lighter today.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you had a good time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I did!</div>
