Mia!

Wow! I have been gone a long time! Our summer , such as it was, was spent scouting out a vacation home in Ocean Shores Wa!  Ocean Shores is a tiny beach community in the Pacific Northwest, a tiny finger of land that is surrounded by water.

  We have  Pacific ocean on one side, fresh water lakes , the bay and fresh water canals all located on this tiny slice of land.  It is the most wonderful place ever! After searching all the home Ocean Shores had to offer in our price range we bought this one TADA!

This little cutie has 2 beds 2 baths and a fabulous stone fireplace. Best part was it came furnished and the fireplace runs on propane so no wood cutting! Yay!

My hubby had just finished painting the front railing , doesn't it look awesome? Last picture is our view.  There's beach grass everywhere and we have no plans to change that! Au Naturael' for us! did I spell that right?  It hasn't been all play though , it needed a little bit of tlc , fortunately I am married to the most handy of men! After 2 trips we are all done fixin' and ready to start relaxing!  Can't wait for summer  to relax on that deck and enjoy some umbrella drinks. sigh!  ~Susan
