Halloween 2016

Posted on October 31, 2016 by Marcia Ren

Hey… Happy Halloween! I hadn’t planned on writing a post…but then here I am…and now that you are here, let’s have a chat. The weather was Hallmark~y perfect on my sweet coast this year. This is the second Halloween (since my move from SoCal) in the little cottage The kiddos were so adorable. I decided to order pizzas from two different places that I’ve been wanting to try out. Halloween night seemed to be the perfect evening for it. I actually started the day with a fabulous walk taking care of errands And, then meeting up with a friend for coffee. … Read the full blog post →

Dear Great Pumpkin

Posted on October 27, 2016 by Marcia Ren

Dear Great Pumpkin I’m looking forward to your arrival on Halloween night. Hi! Are you ready for Halloween? Any costume parties, or gatherings going on for the weekend? Since moving to the coast Halloween has become quite scary. The main reason being is that I actually get trick~or~treaters! Now don’t get me wrong or anything. California does get trick~or~treaters unless it rains. (just kidding) However, the last street I lived at in California,   never got any trick~or~treaters. A combination of  no street lights, and  homes being rather far apart was most likely just a little too scary for the kiddos. It was … Read the full blog post →

Hi! How’s your week going so far? Mine is swell. My new good friend here on the coast is back from vacation.

(grin) Anyway, my California friend belongs to the SoCal Chihuahua Club and for several years has been hosting their Halloween Party. This group of friends bring their pups in costume, and enjoy an afternoon of friendship, food, & fun. Many pups are … Read the full blog post →

It’s Time For The Falls

Posted on October 20, 2016 by Marcia Ren

Hi! How are you? I hope that your week was a good one. Here on the coast we’ve gone through a week of rain, storm, sun, shadows, rainbows…repeat. With that said…I’m kidnapping you today. Come on hop on board! and make sure your seatbelt is on because the ride can get a little bumpy at times, occasionally we might even experience  large tree trunks across the road. No worries though It’s all worth the effort to get here. I’m taking you to some gorgeous waterfalls which are located at Golden and Silver Falls State Park. The fabled falls are about 35 miles … Read the full blog post →

When I had spent an evening with some really good friends.  Actually, the men are my husbands forever friends. And, over the years I’ve become friends with their wives. We went out for Italian food, and then went to the theatre to … Read the full blog post →

A Charmed~li~cious Home

Posted on October 13, 2016 by Marcia Ren

Hi! I Hope you had a good week. Here on the coast there’s  been pitter~patter~ings of rain, some foggy mornings, and other natural everyday occurrences we all experience in life. (grin) Today’s post is sort of a continuation of an earlier story I wrote about. It was called Living A Charmed Life. Living a Charmed Life And, it’s a little strange that it was only a few months ago when I began the Charm Trail adventure I honestly thought it was just about acquiring a few cute charms  celebrating the Coos Art Museum’s 50 year celebration. It turns out that this fun charming … Read the full blog post →

Posted on October 9, 2016 by Marcia Ren

Hello, Welcome to Marcia’s Cottage. ♡ I’m so happy to see you today my friend. ♡ Shall we have a little tea. ♡  I enjoy seeing all the throwback photos posted on FB. It’s fun to see how we have changed over the years. It’s amazing how some of my friends from high school haven’t changed a bit! In some ways I’ve changed a lot… in other ways I’ve remained similar to how I was in high school. But the truth is I wouldn’t want to be the same.  And, the changes have been good ones. Trust me. (grin) So, … Read the full blog post →

The Mahaffy Ranch & Pumpkin Patch

Posted on October 6, 2016 by Marcia Ren

Hi! Hope you had a great week. Any fun plans for the weekend? I’m often on the look~out for fun new places to experience here on the beautiful Oregon coast. It must be that former teacher gauge in me. You might know the one…it knows when school will start, and then I go shopping for new clothes.  It knows all the vacations, and definitely gauges when the weather begins feeling a little Fall~ish~y, it’s time to start planning for harvest field trips. So not surprisingly I recently began longing for a visit to a pumpkin patch.  With a little research I was excited to discover a wonderful … Read the full blog post →
