Twixmas

So I was intrigued by an Instagram meme defining 'Twixmas'. 

Here is my version:

An invigorating beach walk in the rain 

A roaring fire while I blog 
Remembering a highlight dinner from last night, a completely delicious ossobucco with mushroom risotto
Sharing a bottle of sauvignon blanc, crisp and dry with a tropical fruit note, with Shawni and Craig
Watching gulls on the beach
Checking into our Marilyn Monroe themed room on the Moolack Shores Inn north of Newport, Oregon

These are the days between Christmas and New Year, cosy tonight, pyjamas on, waiting for a peanut butter sourdough sandwich and coffee, a book next to the bed, the ocean as a background sound and I not sure what the date is.

Tomorrow we make our way across the Cascades towards Bend for a week. And the days will unfold and the New Year is ahead of us.
