My First Foodie Penpals Box!

The delicious treats I received from Brianna!
This was my first foray into the awesome world of Foodie Penpals and it was everything I hoped it would be!!!  Discovered through the A-Z Blogging Challenge, Foodie Penpals is the brainchild of Lindsay over at The Lean Green Bean and it's a wonderful way to sample products from different regions across the US.

I received some lovely, delicious things from the state of Florida courtesy of Brianna at Tea with Bri.  Inside my box were the following:  Rhythm Superfoods Kale Chips in Zesty Nacho flavor, a Midnight Oil Molasses from a local company in Florida, Dark Chocolate with Toffee and Freeze Dried Raspberries and Strawberries, and a spice mix from Sara's in Florida that smells divine!  I can't wait to try it out.

If you would like to participate in Foodie Penpals, please go here!  The program runs from month to month, so there is no obligation to participate every month.  This is great if you are a little strapped for cash during a particular month.  In order to join in the festivities, you have to sign up by the 4th of whatever month you wish to participate, so keep that in mind.  Regardless, I will definitely continue to participate in this program!

L is for...Lighthouses

 It's a schizophrenic Saturday here in Oregon (what's new) and we're strolling in to the halfway point of the A-Z Blogging Challenge.  Today's letter brings us to a feature that many states along the coast possess and something that I've always had a fascination with... Lighthouses There are eleven total lighthouses along the Oregon Coast.  Nine were built for maritime purposes, five are still in operation, and two were privately built.  Of the eleven, nine of them are on the National Register of Historic Places.  There are five lighthouses that offer tours to visitors and each has a unique history.  Some even have sordid pasts and rumored ghosts that roam their buildings.  As a heads up, I apologize for the length of this post. From the north heading south along Highway 101, the lighthouses are as follows: Tillamook Rock Lighthouse is the furthest north and located near Seaside.  It is deactivated and the only lighthouse built offshore on a

2016 A-Z Blogging Challenge Theme Reveal

Image
Oooo...the day is getting closer; creeping stealthily, it will smack you in the face in no time! While we impatiently await the start of the challenge, it's time to reveal our themes.  Yay!  I'm going for something drastically different this year.  Something much more challenging than I've ever done in my previous four years participating in this particular challenge.  Normally my posts are pretty straight-forward, contained, not overly ambitious.  This year is going to be another beast all together. My mission, should I choose to accept it, will be to write one continuous story for the entire challenge.  I know my characters, setting, and where I want it to go...kind of.  All I need to figure out is how to get from point A to point Z.  The first word of each post will start with the letter for the day; some of these will definitely be more difficult than others, but I'm determined. I look forward to writing this, receiving feedback, and having a rip-roaring goo

C is for...Crater Lake

Nearly halfway through the first week of the A-Z Challenge and we are to the letter C.  I hope everyone is plugging along nicely and not feeling pressured yet!  Today's letter is representative of... Crater Lake I love Crater Lake .  It's beautiful, fascinating, and awesome.  Located in Southern Oregon, Crater Lake is a body of water that has formed inside the remains of a once active volcano in the Cascade Range.  The caldera formed by the massive eruption of Mount Mazama 7700 years ago is now filled with crystal clear blue water and two islands; the main one being Wizard Island.  Fed only by rainfall and melting snow, the water is completely replaced every 250 years and one of the purest bodies of water in America in terms of absent pollutants.  The park is open year-round and visited by nearly half a million people annually, but many roads become impassible during the winter months.
