News from Naselle: The Naselle Grays River Valley School District held a special Veteran’s Day Celebration to honor our veterans on November 10.

Rain, rain, and please go away so we can finish the roof over our house. I don’t think Mother Nature is listening. At least we have it covered in heavy plastic waiting to continue when the deluge stops. News from Naselle: Homecoming was celebrated last Friday by the Naselle Comets with a runaway score against North Beach of 50-6. Way to go guys.

WET AND NASTY--We are still seeing heavy rains and nasty weather, but that was nothing compared to the weekend storms that rolled through the area; not fit for man nor beast out there! I don't remember when we've had that long of a thunder and lightning event, but it was pretty spectacular. With a foot of snow in the mountains already and a couple of more feet expected, you may need to rethink any travel plans across the passes; keep the chains in the trunk and your emergency kit stocked up as well. If this is a sign of the winter to come, it...
My heart goes out to Lois Nelson and the loss she has endured due to her home fire. Fire is devastating not only to property but emotionally as well. I hope she was able to save some of her most personal items, as that seems to be what we miss most, in this type of a loss. Brr! Nights are getting down there temperature wise, but the clear skies are gorgeous. I don’t remember so many nights in a row where you could see the stars so bright. The days have been pretty though, almost too warm in the afternoons. We certainly appreciate Mother N...
NICE AND NIPPY--We have had some nice Fall days lately, as the sun has been shining since last Friday and it's been great. The nippy evenings caught some of us by surprise, as it was below freezing a couple nights and a thick layer of frost sparkled in the morning sunlight; a reminder that winter is on the way. We need to start thinking about getting ourselves prepared for whatever the next few months brings us. Actually, as I write this, the weather man is saying the rains are on the way, so I hope you've enjoyed these past few days of sunshin...

HALF AND HALF--What a difference a day made in our weekend. On Saturday it was pouring down rain all day, a real soaker, but on Sunday, after a brief bit of morning drizzle, it was time to shed the rain gear and kick off the boots to strut around in sleeveless tops while enjoying a BBQ on the patio. A super nice day! It was a pretty pleasant Monday as well, so it was definitely a good way to start off the week. BACK ON--I am happy to report that I now have my computer back up and going. Whew, that was a long time without that source of...

NOT BAD--The evenings are a bit crisp, but the days have been pretty pleasant. While I kept expecting rain with those clouds we had on Saturday, it never showed up and the sun was shining brightly on Sunday after the morning fog, so that was a nice surprise as I thought for sure we'd be seeing some rain by then. This dry weather meant it was time to get the lawn mower out once again and start putting away the patio stuff in order to prepare for the upcoming rainy season. Forecasters say that we could have a miserable winter, so just in case the...
HALF NICE--What a difference a day makes! Last Saturday was really nice after a very foggy beginning and it landed itself as the perfect day to mow that ever growing lawn and enjoy a wonderful evening around a firepit after a tasty barbecue with friends. However by Sunday morning, the area was already saturated with heavy rains and it was a day to stay in and admire the lawn you'd mowed the day before and watch some football. Of course, if you'd spent Saturday washing your car, you were not too happy and you were keeping it off the road and in...

FALL IS HERE--The leaves are falling, the rains seem to visit us on more days than the sun and our days turn into nights before eight p.m. these days, so I'm thinking, Summer is definitely over and Fall is here! However, the weatherman said we may get a few warm days this week, so maybe we'll get our webbed feet dried out one more time before this year comes to an end. By the way, when we get these misty, foggy and darker days, it's best to get those head lights on early so that others can see you much more easily. Defensive driving is a real...

WET ONE--As I begin this column this Tuesday morning, it is mighty wet here in West Valley. This took me by surprise after such a beautiful Monday evening which seemed to hold promise of another nice day. The brown yard out front is probably enjoying a drink about now and I won't feel compelled to wash my car or do any yardwork, a win, win for me! I hear we are supposed to experience some clearing later in the day, so for all you folks who need to finish up those outside chores, there's still some hope on the horizon. SPECIAL DAYS--Those...
