Brookings-Harbor is her very favorite place in all the earth to be with it's mild climate, beautiful flowers and birds, the pristine beaches apprecaiting especially the interplay between the coast, forest and lily fields/pasture lands. She really likes the small town friendliness of Brookings/Harbor, the sense of community, no traffic, safety, fresh air and blue skies. No sales tax is wonderful.
