Today was the day that could I have cloned myself, I surely would have done so. Maggie was having a book party to celebrate some of those who "starred" in her latest book, The Container Victory Garden -- especially the artists and the...
Someone said that there were people from all over the United States and from foreign countries, as well. I don't doubt it. The Sanctuary at St. Peter Episcopal Church was filled to capacity -- people I knew from all aspects and times of my life...
Today marks the third Friday in a row that the Garden Girls have sadly said, "Not yet!" to my query about doing some spring flower planting. "The ground is still frosty in the morning," they said. "Maybe next week." I feel like a kid waiting for...
According to the Oyster Shell Telegraph, or as they say in other communities, "the word on the street" (in this case, Territory Road), is that the little once-upon-a-time Red Cottage of my Uncle Willard's has sold. The most recent owner, Kevin,...
Maggie Stuckey is giving a party - a thank you party for some very special people here at the beach --people who many of us know and love! And we're all invited to say "thank you" with her -- and to her, also, for that matter! First. the...
In case you haven't been keeping up -- yesterday I noticed that a "Joe Espy" from Idaho had signed the Guest Register at the Oysterville Church. I hadn't been home most of the day and wondered if he might have knocked at my door. Yes, as a matter...

I spent an hour or so this morning with my new webmaster, fine-tuning and double-checking my soon-to-be-revealed updated website. I really like it and hope you will, too. It is very much simpler than the present site --- just three main parts,...
If you weren't at the Oysterville Schoolhouse Wednesday morning, or even if you were, be sure to check out the youtube presentation of the Pacific County History Forum 4-3-2024. Such great stories! Among those who attended were a couple of...
Truth to tell... I completely missed this fabulous sunset sky last night. My neighbor, Cyndy, often walks her dog along the bayside path in front of our house and last evening, this was her spectacular reward! And mine, too -- vicariously. I was...
I've spent the last hour or so reading all the "school news" in the Chinook Observer -- way more than I really care about and even more that I don't fully understand. For one thing, back in the dark ages (from 1961 to 2001) I don't think either of...
The History Forum met at the Oysterville Schoolhouse this morning -- our next to last meeting for this Sept '23 - May '24 season. The subject: Wrecks'n'Rescues -- the main speakers Michael Lemeshko, Phil Allen, Doug Knutzen and me (a little...
