SOGGY--This past Saturday, when we hoped it would be nice and dry for the car show, we actually had over an inch and a quarter of rain by early evening; a real “sog-fest." This Sunday began wet and breezy but at least it stopped raining for awhile in the afternoon and we even got some sunshine. Unfortunately, the forecast for the week shows only one dry day, but I’m hoping that is wrong as I think we could all use a little more sunshine after such a soggy May. SPECIAL DAYS--Those celebrating birthdays from June 9-15 are Brenden McClain, Ter...
All over our west county area, the high grass is winning. Some farmers have started their first cut of the summer, but then the rain keeps coming and messes with the whole process. But on the other hand, Hank Nelson's calves are growing so fast we can see it driving by on the highway. Tyson Vogeler has goslings "on steroids" following him around all day. He may think they love him, but I suspect he's more of a mother figure meaning he's where the food comes from and they know it. Joanie...

Submitted and edited by VFW Wahkiakum Post 5297 When we talk about the American flag ... our flag ... we are not just talking about a piece of red, white, and blue cloth. We are talking about our country. We are talking about you and me and our parents and our friends. We are talking about every American across this great nation we call home. When we talk about Old Glory, we are talking about our hopes and dreams, and each plan for the future. And we are talking about our form of government; a government that even despite its own faults and...

I woke up today to sun. May I simply say I feel joy again? And gratitude to the Lord of all.

A couple columns ago, I mistakenly called Jane Scharbach "June." I am so sorry, Jane. I had a call from one of Jane Scharbach's friends in Oregon who said she had watched for an apology from me last week for giving Jane Scharbach the wrong name. She thought surely...

DECENT BEGINNING--I’m beginning this column on Sunday, and it’s starting out fairly decent. Then again, as we saw on Saturday, the sunny day can quickly become a wet one, complete with hail so we’re still dealing with this crazy Spring weather. Not everybody got this sudden burst of nasty weather but it certainly caught those who were in it off guard, as the sunshine had folks sporting light shirts in the 69 degree day, but when that wind brought in those heavy laden clouds that just dumped on us, well the temperature took a quick nose-dive and...
