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…
Boulevard of Broken Dreams
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 Color Red
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
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…
A Fun Trip
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…

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…

What A Trip
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
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…
