A surprisingly great read about the rise of the great Champagne houses - A story of one woman who built an empire and created a legacy in a time when women didn’t. Fascinating and inspiring.

An interesting look at how we treat others and wha

An interesting look at how we treat others and what it says about us: When Eric and I were in Vancouver, British Columbia, we sat down on a bench overlooking the beach and the water. When we got up to leave, a man approached us, practically chasing us down, holding out a card. I immediately went into defensive mode, assuming he was trying to sell us something or was going to harass us in some way. I brushed him off, ignoring him, trying to hurry along, but my kind husband stopped to find out what he wanted. That man had sketched this lovely picture of us on that bench, silently capturing a beautiful moment, and simply wanted to give it to us.My husband is obviously a much better person than me.

We walked over 10 miles a day taking in all the beautiful scenery, architecture, and food of Vancouver Canada.We’d originally thought how amazingly clean and safe the city was compared to Portland, but then realized they’d just pushed all the homeless people into an area near Chinatown, where they live in absolute squalor. Never have we seen so much filth and open use of drugs on the streets.

We went to Vancouver Canada for Eric’s 60th birthday this year and took advantage of the last day of salmon season to try for some King Salmon. Eric caught a couple, but nothing big enough to keep, so we came ho@e empty handed. We did however limit out on Dungeness crab and enjoyed a glorious day out on the water.#kingsalmon #fishing #salmonseason #vancouverbc #vancouver_canada #dungenesscrab #60thbirthday #harborseal

A bit late in posting, but we celebrated this guy’s big 60th birthday last week with some time at the beach, seafood lunch @tidalravesdepoebay and a positively EPIC surprise party with great friends. Happy birthday my love, here’s to many more!

A beautiful day on the Washington coast. Sunshine, blue skies and limited out on razor clams. Eric is going to try and smoke a few and I’ll probably make a chowder. Do you have any great recipes to share?#razorclams #seafood #shellfish #foraging

2023 was such a memorable year: Traveling all over Croatia, Italy’s Amalfi Coast, and then to New Mexico. I even caught my first salmon in the Puget Sound. And I did all of it with the love of my life by my side. May the coming year be full of many more adventures and love. Happy New Year from the Turners!

It was something of a disastrous day in the kitchen for me, but somehow, I ended up with what looks to be two tasty pies. Grandma Opal’s apple pie, and a pumpkin hazelnut pie that will be topped with whipped cream and home hazelnut toffee. Happy Thanksgiving!#pie #applepie #pumpkinpie #dessert #thanksgiving

Lately, I’ve kinda forgotten what I love about living in #Oregon. One day I’m foraging wild mushrooms in lush mountain forests, the next day I’m sipping the finest Pinots in beautiful wine country, and yet the next, I’m on the coast enjoying a lunch of the best fresh tuna at @localoceanseafoods , listening to the sea lions barking and the waves crashing on the shore.#oregon #livinginoregon #ocean #sea #beach #oregoncoast #traveloregon #newportoregon
