CHANGING--As Labor Day week began, we had a super nice day on Sunday, if you like it hot and sticky. There was a lot of sunshine, which made it a bit warm for me, but it was great for all those who had gone camping and enjoying the outdoors and of course, the BBQ folks were not threatened by any rain. On Monday however, we began with clouds and light sprinkles in West Valley, so a big difference between the two days, although it did wind up clearing up and wasn't too bad by Monday afternoon. If you were up late Monday night or early Tuesday...

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.

As a result, they are the fifth school district in Washington to implement an Elementary Dual Immersion Program in Mandarin. Dual immersion goes beyond simply learning words in another language. The goal is for elementary students to attain true bi-literacy. This means they will learn to listen, read, write, speak and think in two languages....
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...
