Raining in Oregon

Well, it's just another rainy Oregon day. Thunder clouds moved in and made lots of noise and rain all afternoon. Good day for housecleaning . . .and reading . . . and drinking coffee . . . I'll bet the sun's shining in Nevada County

Someone emailed me to ask if walking group is still going strong. Answer: yes. Mon, Wed, Fri, 8am SHARP at firehouse. 3 mile round trip down Pasquale. Friendly dogs welcome. Takes about 1 hr.

Reminder: if you are a CSHA member, and a Surburban Propane customer, you can take your portable tanks to their Brunswick Basin location and get them filled at your CSHA discount rate. That will cost you about HALF what you pay to exchange a tank at the grocery stores

We will probably be changing the date of the community yard sale held at Firehouse parking lot in September, as the weekend we picked conflicts with some big events (is there ever a weekend that doesn't) Will keep you posted when rescheduled. We are planning a few extra services at the sale this year. Some recycling and fire education stuff, and we are offering kids to have a free booth to sell their stuff.

Did you read Dixies harrowing tale of her friend almost drowning on full moon kayak night? Well, all's well that ends well. Karen is OK, and the kayak and contents were rounded up by employees at the boat harbor across the way, and towed back to our side. Good work Dixie in saving Karen's life! We all need to practice getting back into our boat if we accidentally end up in the "drink."
