Went to the beach

I went to the beach this weekend with some ladies from a small group I lead. You want to know what my favorite part of the trip was? I met an older English woman in a store/cafe called Java Depot, named Patricia, and she was fabulous! I loved everything about her. She was honest, sassy, loved food, had a great sense of humor...she just seemed to enjoy life. I got my picture taken with her. At first she was shy about it, but then she got into it, it was cute.

I bought a present for Danny from Patricia(I can't tell you what it is because sometimes he reads these entries, so that would give it away), but she gave me this free container of Applewood smoked salt. You open it up, and it is like you just built a campfire. It smells so good. It was so sweet of her because she knew I liked it so much after we talked, and she snuck it to me, and said, "Now take this, it's just for you." I told her I thought she was an angel. She was so sweet. I love meeting people that are a breath of fresh air.

The beach we went to was Neskowin, it's near Lincoln City. I had never heard of it before this trip. Everyone in town had a certain demeanor that I enjoyed. They all seemed comfortable and real, it was refreshing. It was my first time going to Grocery Outlet there, so I told the cashier chick that I loved the store, and that I was a Grocery Outlet virgin, so she gave my friends and I each a $5 off coupon because it was our first time in there. They have SUCH great deals. There's a type of hand soap my mom usually gets that's organic and smells wonderful. She pays $6.99 for it, and at Grocery Outlet it's $2.99. I bought her some it, and I am going to let her know where she can get it cheaper for the future.

I would highly recommend it for bathroom products. They have Jason products and Alba Organics. I didn't think they would have organic products, but they do, as far as body products go, I didn't look through other stuff. My husband got home from his trip this weekend, so I am going to go greet him.
