NASTY START--This past weekend began with a miserable start, as it rained and then blew some, and rained again. Luckily, we had a real nice break on Sunday, and it was terrific to see the sun shining, the river glistening, and out here in West Valley, we even had some eagles flying around. Unfortunately, the rains returned all too soon and were to last all week, so I can hardly wait for our next sunny day, or preferably, days! IN OUR THOUGHTS--Former resident, Brittney Robbins Haddix is living in New York now and it's been bitter cold in her...

There are three factors that make the Cathlamet St. Patrick's Day parade unique. First is that it is always held on the real St Patrick's Day, instead of some convenient nearby weekend. Second, it is a sidewalk parade rather than a street parade, and, third, there are usually many more Irish wolfhounds than in either Portland or Seattle's parade. This year the parade group will muster on Friday (tomorrow) at noon on the sidewalk across the street from Bank of the Pacific. The parade will amble...

COLD SHOT--This past weekend we had another little cold spell, and yes, we did indeed see some snow falling but it didn't last too long down here. Beaver Creek had four new inches of snow by Sunday morning, so I was glad it was up there and not down here! However, I evidently gloated a little too soon, as we woke up to plenty of the white stuff on Monday morning down here in the lowlands, and it took turns between getting cold and coming down heavily and then warming up and doing nothing. There was widespread snow, from the coast and inland, so...
