Is it winter yet? They say maybe some rain and cooler temps the rest of this week. We can certainly use a little rain, as the grass and brush is not as fire proof as it could be. It looks like someone on Covered Bridge Road found that out the hard way. Fortunately, not much damage was done, only grass and a couple fence posts. Take precautions with fire, no matter what the season is. News from Naselle: I had the pleasure of being invited to attend the Christmas Party (yes, that’s right) for the employees of Okie’s Select Market last Sunday eve...

Yes, it was cold. Some of our pipes froze, but with a little patience and time, we eventually have water again. Just like camping for a day or two. We did make sure that the animals had fresh water and a warm place to stay, and added a feeder and a heat lamp to the inside of the chicken pen, though they even said “it’s too cold to lay you any eggs.” Now we are back to a little bit of normal behavior. Naselle news With the winter weather hitting us just a bit early, the Naselle-Grays River Valley students have already experienced some snow...

Wintery temperatures are on the horizon and it looks like we need to make sure our vehicles are protected with antifreeze, our pet’s water bowls are in a place where they won’t freeze, and our hoses and water pipes are protected from the low freezing temperatures. It probably wouldn’t hurt to check on any of your neighbors who might need a hand with some of these tasks, before it’s too late. We all seem to have at least one neighbor/friend who could do with an extra hand but probably wouldn’t ask. Just sayin’ News from Naselle: The sports cale...
It’s hard to believe that it is the middle of November already. The nice weather we have had so far makes you wonder what Mother Nature has in store for us for the rest of the winter. My rain gauge says that we have less than half of our normal average rainfall so far, so let’s hope we don’t get the rest of it in the next month and a half. News from Naselle: If you shop at Okie’s Market in Naselle, as most of us do, you probably know that a sweet, personable, hard working friend has left us.

They have purchased a building to increase their brewing capabilities and the new equipment will be here in about two weeks. They will be able to...
Well, the evenings and mornings are saying it is fall, but the daytime hours are more like summer. I’m not sure if I like it or not. The leaves are falling almost before they change color.

This has really been a summer to remember. Hardly any rain, not too terribly hot, even though it has been pretty muggy. Actually I miss the rain and the green. So much of our grass and vegetation is turning that dead brown color that I hated in California. News from Naselle The 2013-2014 school year is officially underway.

Our trip to California was wonderful, lots of visiting with old friends, a soccer tournament for our grandson (the team took 3rd place), and lots of hugs and fun time with family. The weather wasn’t too bad, only in the high 80s and low 90s. You can have the noise of the city though and the awful traffic, it was good to come home. News from Naselle: Well, it’s that time again, the last big weekend before the new school year begins on Tuesday, the 3rd at 8:15 a.m. for students of the Naselle-Grays River Valley School District. Let’s go Comet...
As you read this column, my husband and I should be sitting in the heat of central California, on a week long visit with three of our kids and seven of our grandkids.

News from Naselle: Little 4-year-old Jessi Harman survived a near death accident on Mother’s Day. While her mother was in the barn having the family horse shod, Jessi became entangled in some horse gear and was left lifeless. Due to quick mouth to mouth resuscitation, they were able to get a heartbeat and she was transported via Life Flight to Portland. There is good hope that with therapy Jessi will be able to run, play and return to her old spirited self again. This will require months of therapy which is not covered by insurance. There will...
I don’t know about you, but I certainly enjoyed the little bit of rain we got last week. Our nephew from California thought it was great, as they don’t see much down in the desert. He actually turned on the windshield wipers of his new jeep for the first time since he bought it. News from Naselle: Only another month until the kids are back in school for the new year, but there are activities beginning to take place in preparation for getting back in the groove. There will be a special Naselle-Grays River Valley School board meeting on Tue...
Here it is, August already. Where has this year gone? It seems like there aren’t enough hours in the day to get everything done that needs to get done, but I guess time flies when you’re having fun, right? I can say that when I see progress being made on the home front. It looks like we may see a sprinkle of two later this week. I’m looking forward to it. News from Naselle: Kindergarten screening will take place for the Naselle-Grays River Valley School on August 15. The Play and Learn Group meets at the Valley Bible Church each Thursday morni...
It’s still summer, and most folks can’t believe it. This is the longest dry spell that I can remember since we came here 13 years ago. I hear some farmers may even get a third cutting of hay on some of their fields. Does anyone else enjoy the sounds and smells of this country life, with the scent of warm cut grass and the machinery working late into the evenings? It sure beats the sounds of traffic and the smells of city life. News from Naselle: If anyone has a child that they would like to enroll in the Naselle ECEAP program, please con...
