I remember Manzanita well before it became upscale at all - a high school b'friend's family had a place there and the grocery store used to be in a Quonset hut. Not fancy at all - but love going back there. While my dad co-owned the newspapers in Newport and Lincoln City, we got to the north coast just as much of not more due to proximity. The farm - sounds so bucolic.<br /><br />Lainey, thanks! Glad you enjoyed the last photo, it's a favorite of mine, too. The pools in the sand are a bit reminiscent of those zen gardens with rocks in carefully raked sand or gravel. Cheers.<br /><br />Thanks JoJo! Glad you enjoyed this one too.<br /><br />Alice!! Yes, Pixie Kitchen, ha. Actually remember the food wasn't all that great but the pixies! And the mirrors just inside the entrance, etc. No Judy not related to A/U, but little sister of an RHS friend. Thanks for the comment. xo<br /><br />Hey Anne, thanks for the comment. I remember lots of fun summer days at the beach at Brown's Point too. Nice in a different, more gentle way. I remember being out in the rowboat with David, too. And running down to the beach when we saw tankers go by to jump in the waves when they hit shore...rich memories.<br /><br />jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11558847401371871909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7691739068295652166.post-87572647216387045312017-07-21T15:48:40.328-07:002017-07-21T15:48:40.328-07:00First of all Jill you really should create a calen...First of all Jill you really should create a calendar from these photos, it would sell well everywhere in the NW. I like all beaches but spent a whole lot of time as a child at Brown's Point which is a little gentler salt water as it is in Puget Sound. Digging for clams, and if we got a geoduck we had to let it go since it was rare, hearing the foghorn which was just a few hundred feet away, going out on the boat which was lowered into the sound on a cradle which is now probably about 100 years old...when a tanker or other huge ship headed into the harbor at Tacoma we would then get the giant waves. And I remember younger brother David wanting to go out in the rowboat without a grown-up, so my grandfather tied a long rope to the prow and let him have at it. He could pull him in whenever he wanted. You may have been in that boat mostly covered by a lifejacket!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7691739068295652166.post-38914380300133239192017-07-21T14:26:21.205-07:002017-07-21T14:26:21.205-07:00Pixie Kitchen, THE BEST!

Peppermint was my favorite. :) Gorgeous photos as always... I don't think I've ever seen the water such a rich turquoise blue before. That last photo has such a peaceful zen vibe, I gazed at it for a few long minutes.Lainey Pilandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09998370395965970950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7691739068295652166.post-46137384513656460532017-07-21T12:20:35.832-07:002017-07-21T12:20:35.832-07:00Jill

And these days for slightly upscale it's Manzanita, which reminds me of Cannon Beach in the '50s before it became upscale and yuppified.<br />Ben Dawson<br />at the farm (Howell Prairie E. of Salem)<br />tending the walnuts and grapes and Mary Lou's <br />vegetable gardenBen Dawsonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7691739068295652166.post-88999582757330332132017-07-21T06:11:21.076-07:002017-07-21T06:11:21.076-07:00Gorgeous!Gorgeous!JoJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18165375435543044068noreply@blogger.com
