Three Beautiful Things 10/04/13: Breakfast at Hideaway, Oregon Coast Nostalgia Tour, Chowder Diving

1.  After visiting Charlemagne school after dropping the Deke there for her work day, sister Carol and I enjoyed coffee and bagel and cream cheese and a bear claw at the Hideaway Bakery in my ongoing effort to introduce her to our little world in Eugene.

2.  Carol and I drove to Yachats and retraced the steps of our family when we used to come over to the Oregon coast together for a few years and stayed in Yachats.  Carol and I ate at the Adobe Inn and watched waves crash against the craggy beach.  We drove to Haceta Beach and walked the great expanse, practically having the beach to ourselves, and took pictures.  We ended our tour of the Oregon Coast with a cup of coffee at Siuslaw River Coffee Roasters (where we were served by Carol -- a fun fact) in Old Town Florence and by picking up a couple of quarts to clam chowder to go from Mo's.  We had a splendid afternoon together.

3.  Carol, the Deke, and I dove into the buttery Mo's clam chowder and whether it's a good as anyone else's didn't really matter because we were hungry, the chowder warmed us, and we were enjoying being alive in Eugene, Oregon and having family time together, time which is all too rare.
