GORGEOUS--If you've been wanting to do yardwork and garden work and you've been stopped by the pouring rains we had last week, you certainly have had no excuses this week, as it's been beautiful out there. A little light breeze was blowing on Monday morning and along with that wonderful sunshine, I thought the temperatures were just right. With tornadoes in the midwest, snowstorms in Colorado and fires raging in the drought-stricken state of Texas, I almost feel guilty for enjoying this wonderful weather that we are currently experiencing....

His youthful appearance and quiet soft spoken manner belie local musician Layton Elliott’s nearly six decades on this planet, his gravelly baritone and mean guitar skills. Elliott really wanted a drum set when he was a young teen. What he got was a guitar from Montgomery Ward. Disappointment quickly turned to fascination. “I remember playing all day long,” Elliott said, “just to learn how to play. I had deep grooves in the ends of my fingers. When they started to bleed, I wrapped them with wh...

Appelo, built the Appelo Deep River Store,...
After the nice few days, the weekend turned into another wet one. Our son, Carl and his girlfriend Dion were here for the weekend from Seattle as well as other son, Shane. They had hoped to get some dry hiking in but that didn’t pan out, so they took the dogs for a damp one. It’s always so good to have kids home, and especially when they can do a few things around the place. Mom even got an oil change on the car. Thanks boys. And it was wonderful to see Dion again, such a delightful young lady. Good weekend, even if it did rain. News from Nas...

MIXED WEATHER--Folks went to bed last Wednesday night with a little standing water but by Thursday morning, it was overflowing everywhere with some driveways underwater and the high streams running a mucky brown color. Thankfully we had some sun breaks off and on Thursday, which gave some of the water a little time to flow out, as it wouldn't have taken long before we'd be driving the "tall" truck to get out of West Valley and other low lying areas. By Saturday night, the downpours returned and very early on Sunday morning, I thought we were...

Happy May Day everyone! Does anyone remember the little crepe paper May baskets we made as kids, filled them with odds and ends and candies and hung them on door knobs. I wish I could remember how to fold the paper to cut them out. Anyone remember? My grandfather always got molasses chips in his basket because he was very special and they were his favorite candies. News from Naselle: Sports calendar for the Naselle Comet teams this week: Today (Thursday), fast pitch and baseball at Wishkah at 3:30 p.m., home track meet in Naselle at 3:30 p.m.;...

GORGEOUS--As this week began, it was absolutely beautiful with nothing but sunshine and warm breezes, which felt oh so great! Actually, the entire weekend and even several days last week were great too, as my aching back can attest, as there were no bad weather excuses to put off digging into those flower beds! However, it looks like we'll all get to use the weather as an excuse by the time you read this, as more wet weather is due to move in, so I hope you got that lawn mowed and those new plants in the ground, as it's going to be time to...
