We're all here cuz we're not all there!
When you hear “Batter up” you know what season it is..It’s “Ball” season. Softball, baseball, Little league, T-Ball all kinds of ball games with lots of people playing and having fun in the sun. Well, since it’s Oregon it’s not always sunny but you get the picture. Time to get out the glove and warm…
This the best time of year for The National Football League. The most popular sports league is dominating the airwaves. The Super Bowl is coming with the Cincinnati Bengles against The Los Angeles Rams on February 13th. Tom Brady perhaps the best Quarterback ever just retired, and everything NFL is making news. However, there is…
It’s pre-season and time for reflections as to what is coming next! Pre-season is the time prior to the real action like school, new fall releases in T.V., movies, and pre-season Football. Professional football is a tough way to make a living so pre-season to the rookies and pros trying to stay active with some…
This time of year the gardens around Waldport are different degrees of beautiful. I think we ought to thank the gardeners who’ve provided us with the beautiful sights. There are several kinds of gardens but the ones I’m talking about are those that are individual home ones for beauty possibly growing some small produce like…
Touch, taste, sight, sound and smell are the senses humans have. I’m pretty sure animals have them too, but I’m dealing with we humans today! These senses are powerful and can change the directions you were going once they kick in. For example if you’re walking down the street and you suddenly smell a delicious…
Broadway in some cities is called the “Boulevard of Broken Dreams” but in Waldport it’s one of the streets that leads to a neat part of town. Follow Broadway down to the re-furbished port and you can choose from four eating establishments for anything from fresh crab to Mexican food. All of them delicious treats!…
The other day when I clicked on the weather news all of Oregon was the color red, a heat advisory. The only exception was a sliver of coolness on the Central Oregon Coast. Right smack in the middle of that coolness was Waldport! Of course we here in Waldport got warm but nothing like inland…
The sounds and sights of Spring. This is the one time of year that you can actually see the changes of the seasons. Winter, fall, and summer just kind of sneak up on you, but Spring lets you know it’s here. The first hint of Spring are the birds singing. It’s a beautiful symphony of…
We here on The Central Oregon coast occasionally have to go into the valley for a variety of reasons. Sometimes for business, sometimes for fun. Well, last week I got to go for fun and that it was. Heading out of Waldport on Hwy 34 on a beautiful day I was amazed at how green…
For me there is nothing finer than a beautiful sunny day in May when I can sit outside and people watch! Since I live by two stores and a church there is always a lot of people action. A year ago thanks to Covid there wasn’t as much activity but today it’s back. When I’m…
While the Pacific Northwest, including Oregon, is in a mini drought due to no rain, Television is in a drought thanks to the season this time of year. The lack of rain has to do with atmosphere changes and with luck we will get enough rain to fix the problem. However, the Television drought totally…
Recently I took a trip. No I’m not talking about a trip to an exotic destination, just a simple trip from Waldport to Portland and back. Although I’ve taken the same trip many times before, this last time I noticed things I’ve seen but not paid attention to before! Taking Hwy 20 East from Newport…
Presidents day always makes me smile! Seems like we can’t decide which President to honor so we’ve just lumped them all together and you get to decide which one to honor! These days that could be scary, choose the wrong President and someone is going to be mad at you! However it’s a national holiday…
