Farewell Beverly Beach

Cheryl's News From The Oregon Coast

As Rich and I wrap up our three month volunteer gig at Beverly Beach we reflect on the abundance in our lives. An abundance of community, the volunteer community at Beverly Beach. An abundance of food. Fred Meyer is about 12 minutes away. One adventurous day in January we traveled to Corvallis and shopped at Trader Joe's and Market of Choice. We had planned on a Salem/Portland trip, but the snow and ice in both cities stopped us. An abundance of beauty. Surrounded by old fir trees most dripping with moss and lichen was like living in a picturesque post card. The beauty of the ocean and craggy rocks is always inspiring. And an abundance of rain, rain and more rain. We both feel blessed, nurtured and look forward to volunteering at Beverly Beach in 2018. We saw an abundance of creatures, too!
