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…

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…
Is it time for a new car or truck? I’m sure many would say “yes” but with many out of work due to Covid it might be hard to pull off. However, I have two neighbors who just bought a new truck and new car. Amazing part of their purchases was that both vehicles were…
