Chinese New Year Celebration in Jacksonville
Hi Everyone! I wanted to share a recent event I attended in Jacksonville, Oregon. I can see why this charming town has been called “One of America’s Top 10 Coolest Small Towns” and embodies everything what the good life is all about. While staying at the McCall House in Ashland, I took the beautiful scenic drive to Jacksonville to experience the Chinese New Year Celebrations. The 20 minute drive allowed me to arrive just in time to experience the kick off parade at 10:30. Even though this is the year of the Monkey, the parade had lions, dragons, gongs, local … Read the full blog post

The Dragonfly Nursery
During a visit to the local farmers market, I purchased a pretty basket with flowers planted in it. The young girl was so helpful, and told me about her nursery in Langlois, Oregon. So, today I took a drive there. The nursery is set on 90 acres. It’s beautiful there. There’s a wide variety plants, veggies, and decorative flower arrangements to choose from. It’s a mom, and daughter venture. If you ever get a chance to visit, I highly recommend it.

Pitter patter of rain
There’s nothing like the sound of rain on an early morning. Pitter, patter, pitter pattering gently away.

Hello, Welcome to Marcia’s Cottage by the Sea.♡ I’m so happy to see you today my friend. ♡ Shall we have a little tea. ♡ This week was monumental. Two friends from California dropped by for a visit! Double fun! They were the “first” visitors since our move. I was so excited! We chatted over tea, cupcakes, and then lunch. Yes….in that order too. Dessert first! Well…I don’t think it has anything to do with eating dessert first, or even getting the “first” visit from friends here on the Oregon coast. However, more, and more I can see how … Read the full blog post
