Having it get even busier means we'll be hopping from one thing to another faster than a frog in a frying pan! Hope you've got your running shoes on, as it's time to hustle. http://waheagle.com/skamokawa-news/article.exm/2013-05-02_time_to_get_ready_for_mother_s_day http://waheagle.com/skamokawa-news/article.exm/2013-04-25_follies_performers_needed_in_may When I went to the Janet Cimino artwork sale at Redmen Hall last weekend, I was shocked to see so many empty hooks where paintings, prints and other items had been hanging. Folks came in and grabbed up the great deals. The sale benefits Tsuga Gallery in Cathlamet, which Janet created, so that was really great to see. Never fear, there is plenty more art where those came from. http://waheagle.com/skamokawa-news/article.exm/2013-04-25_follies_performers_needed_in_may http://waheagle.com/skamokawa-news/article.exm/2013-04-17_it_s_tea_time_this_saturday_at_sjfc It’s time to head to St. James Family Center to enjoy their Royal Tea. There are two seatings, one at noon and one at 2 p.m. on Saturday, so there will be plenty of time to take in both the tea and the doings at Redmen Hall. Also that day will be the annual plant sale and a silent auction. All proceeds from the day will go to benefit the center, which provides a great service for our community. http://waheagle.com/skamokawa-news/article.exm/2013-04-17_it_s_tea_time_this_saturday_at_sjfc http://waheagle.com/skamokawa-news/article.exm/2013-04-11_busy_week_ahead_in_the_county With tulips in bloom, along with the daffodils, camellias and my one red rhododendren, it is looking like spring in spite of the weather, although those pounding rains did not make some of them look so great. http://waheagle.com/skamokawa-news/article.exm/2013-04-11_busy_week_ahead_in_the_county http://waheagle.com/skamokawa-news/article.exm/2013-04-04_illegal_dippers_in_skamokawa_ Bald Eagles lining the Skamokawa Creek swooped from the trees and dipped their fill of silvery smelt. http://waheagle.com/skamokawa-news/article.exm/2013-04-04_illegal_dippers_in_skamokawa_ http://waheagle.com/skamokawa-news/article.exm/2013-03-28_lions_easter_egg_hunt_is_saturday I hope all of you parents with little ones will head to Skamokawa Vista Park this Saturday, March 30, for the Lion's Club annual Easter Egg Hunt!

I heard lawn mowers going and saws running and hammering going on. http://waheagle.com/skamokawa-news/article.exm/2013-03-14_celebrate_st__patrick_s_day_this_weekend http://waheagle.com/skamokawa-news/article.exm/2013-03-07_don_t_forget_to_spring_forward_your_clocks__columnist_says Don't forget to set those clocks ahead one hour before you go to bed on Saturday night, or you'll be late for church, work, or whatever else you've got going on Sunday morning, as the "Spring Ahead" clock change time is here. http://waheagle.com/skamokawa-news/article.exm/2013-03-07_don_t_forget_to_spring_forward_your_clocks__columnist_says http://waheagle.com/skamokawa-news/article.exm/2013-02-28_writer_sends_good_luck_wishes_to_basketball_team As you read this, our Mule boys basketball team will be in Spokane and playing in the state playoffs.

Roger Davis said he remembered one too, but they each remember the shop in different places, so here's your brain teaser for the week: Was a shoe repair shop located in Cathlamet on Main Street, in the old Wright building, or both? Let me know if you've got some history to share! http://waheagle.com/skamokawa-news/article.exm/2013-02-21_writer_asks_for_memories_of_local_shoe_repair_businesses http://waheagle.com/skamokawa-news/article.exm/2013-02-14_celebrate_your_sweetie_this_week My congratulations to Walter Deege for winning the grand prize diamond bracelet basket complete with champagne! http://waheagle.com/skamokawa-news/article.exm/2013-02-14_celebrate_your_sweetie_this_week http://waheagle.com/skamokawa-news/article.exm/2013-02-07_super_bowl_game_had_exciting_finish After the 49ers woke up in the second half, they really made a game out of it! Toss in the unexpected power outage, and that gave everybody something to talk about for awhile. http://waheagle.com/skamokawa-news/article.exm/2013-02-07_super_bowl_game_had_exciting_finish http://waheagle.com/skamokawa-news/article.exm/2013-01-31_enjoy_super_bowl_festivities_on_sunday It's Super Bowl time and we all know where a lot of people will be: In front of the television watching two football teams battle it out! http://waheagle.com/skamokawa-news/article.exm/2013-01-31_enjoy_super_bowl_festivities_on_sunday
