• THE LIGHTHOUSE

   

  Since I'm tired of looking at myself, I'd better post again to make the last post go further down on the page.

  One last comment on the post below..... About the picture of me with the doll and flower... seems like different times thru the years I've heard Pop say, " The first time I seen the picture of you stomping your feet, I should have turned and ran."    Poor guy it's too late now.  We've been married almost 50 years and he still says that.  

      Seems like the last  couple weeks have passed to quickly.  I've enjoyed being at home for awhile without packing to leave somewhere.

      I've found a fun sight where you can post pictures that you took.  They have a new category every 2 weeks.  I sent in 2 photos, 1 on clouds and one on wild plant life, both were posted. It is not a contest site, just a site where you can share photos.   BetsaflyGallery You can find it on my side bar.  You can also find other photographers from her site.

      I've been helping my daughter with pricing groceries.  She has opened a Bent and Dent store.  They are quite rare on the west coast but you can find them in the east (PA, MD, etc.)  It is one way to get cheap groceries.  Last week she had a sale on Cold Cereal of every kind you could imagine for only $1.00 a box.  The only thing wrong with them the boxes were damaged, but the inside package was perfect.  At that rate you can afford the Tupperware or another container to put it in.

      BTW since I've been helping my daughter, I've felt better.  I still hurt and can't talk, etc.but I don't get so depressed. God is so good to me that I shouldn't depressed, but............

      I've been visiting with a blog friend who likes lighthouses.  That's one of my favorite things , too   I collect lighthouses and at this point I don't know how many I have because some are packed away.  (Remember we moved 2 1/2 years ago.)

            "Jesus is the light house, and from the rocks of sin.  He has shown His light around me, that I could  clearly  see, If it wasn't for that lighthouse, WHERE WOULD THIS WORLD BE.  (taken from the song "The Lighthouse" by Ronnie Hinson)

              It has inspired me to post picture of the lighthouses in Oregon.  Oregon has nine lighthouses and each has a story and beauty all its own.

   

  

   

  If you look at the picture... The letter O. is a picture of Yaquina Head.  This is Oregon's tallest lighthouse which is 93 feet tall and stands 162 feet above sea level.  -  R. Cape Argo.  Located 12 miles southwest of Coos Bay, Oregon.  -  E. Coquille River lighthouse. .  At Christmas time they outline the lighthouse with lights, which make a beautiful sight..  -  G. Tillamook Rock - Is built on a rock 1 1/2 miles out in the ocean. -  O.  Umpqua Lighthouse, Winchester Bay, OR  -  N. Cape Meares, Oregon's shortest lighthouse.  Across the bottom from Left to Right.-  1. Heceta Head, Oregon's most photographed lighthouse, You might have seen a picture of this light house, Because it is on many Calendars.- 2. Yuquina Bay at Newport, OR  -  3. Cape Blanco, Port Orford. The lighthouse is the furthest south in Oregon and stands on Oregon most westerly point.  There you have in short, a tour of the lighthouses of Oregon. Back in the summer of 2006, I posted a couple stories we experienced while trying to photograph the Lighthouses, but each one has it's own story.

   

      Every time I look at a lighthouse I am reminded of Jesus who is the Light of the World.  They say you can see the light from a lighthouse miles out in the ocean. Jesus shines, so you can see Him in all the world.
