We had one more trip to the ER, this time for low heart rate and low blood pressure, an overnight stay at St. John’s and came home again on Tuesday with a pacemaker. We hope this will be the last hospital trip for a while. The nurses and staff doctors are on a first-name basis with both of us lately, and we certainly appreciate them and the care they have provided during our visits. Thank you everyone for all your kindness, support, and friendship through this long and tiring journey. We certainly look forward to a calm period for a while. N...

DAMP--It seems that whenever my flowers bloom and are looking pretty, we get a heavy rain or hail storm or some strong winds and my poor flowers take a beating. Sure enough, that's what happened last week. My camellias were looking real nice, as was my red rhododendron, but after being pounded by the hail and tossed around by the wind this weekend, they are looking pretty sad and droopy. Even the hummingbirds would rather get some nourishment from my feeders than to deal with those soggy, droopy plants. We're hoping to see a little more sun in...

To The Eagle: As in the Wizard of Oz, voters need to pull the curtain back and have a look for themselves. Naselle School District is pushing back when voters say no, understand that, we’ve watered and fed that behavior, and it grew. No means no, no matter who says it. A few weeks ago I received a letter signed “Voters for Accountability”. This letter talked about various issues going on in our school. Although I agree with their concerns, I felt there were a number of issues not addressed. At the end of the day it comes back to the same issue...

Wow, the sunshine has been wonderful. I even had the opportunity to mow the lawn over the weekend. Lots of other folks were doing the same, and the smell of new mown grass was in the air. Unfortunately, after the first mowing, you really have to keep up with the fast growing grass on a regular basis. Oh well, it’s actually relaxing to sit on the mower for a few hours and see the progress as you cut the tall grass. News from Naselle: Naselle-Grays River Valley students will be back in the classroom on April 8 after a week off for Spring b...
On Friday, the Mules softball team met Mossyrock at home for a double header. Mossyrock won the first game 16-6, but the second game was called in the fourth inning due to darkness.
