Some picture from a previous day getting ready for and relaxing on the balcony:

Happy Halloween. It was a beautiful day until the clouds rolled in late afternoon. Cool on the balcony for cocktails. The ladies of Depoe Bay were supposedly out dressed as witches and collecting for charity. We didn’t see any witches.
It was a quiet day. We drove north into Lincoln City and visited some areas we haven’t been to before. Lincoln City has an Indian casino, the Chinook Winds, right on the water. We had never even driven by it, so we did. We expected something relatively small. Rather, it’s pretty big. We stopped briefly at another beach which was a long way down several flights of stairs. We didn’t go all the way down.
For years we have been driving by Kyllo’s Restaurant at “D” River beachfront. It’s right where we normally go the kite festival (which was cancelled, a victim of the pandemic). We decided to go in for lunch. It was excellent. We both had clam chowder followed by delicious halibut and chips. I had two glasses of Fort George brewery pale ale. Creamy and good. Elaine had pinot noir.
Then we enjoyed the rest of the day at home. No sunset. And the rain is coming back. The forecast through next weekend says “rain”. Oh well, we’ll see. On Monday our primary goal will be refilling the wine cellar and enjoying lunch somewhere. Monday will also be a “blog day off”.
Glad you and Elaine are getting your “ocean experience” fix! Still lots of tree color here in southern New England which I often take for granted until every single leaf has dropped, leaving a dreary November landscape you know all too well and likely don’t miss one bit. We are heading up to VT this week for a few days to check in on our grandson Rowan (oh, and yes of course daughter Cindy and son in-law Stu).
What a great spot Kyllo’s has on the river and ocean. Their haddock looks absolutely delicious. Sorry about the rainy forecast but, hopefully, you’ll also get some sunshine.
So sad about Jerry Remy. Red Sox baseball will never be the same. RIP.
I am jealous of the fish and chips. One of my favorite meals, but even so much better by the water! Looks like a great spot. Now you have a new place to experience! Fingers crossed for sunshine 🌞 Cindy
