The Dauntless Winery in Forest Grove, Oregon, is a veteran-owned and operated winery, and along with military memorabilia, they have a continuous slide show of photos of military personnel and operations. Much to my surprise and delight, I learned that a Darling Daughter had provided them with a couple of photos of my time atContinue reading “At the Dauntless Winery”

How Do You Spell Relief?
The past couple of days we have received over an inch of rain and more is expected this week. Could this be the beginning of the end of the drought that has plagued the region over the past year and a half? We certainly hope so, for when it comes to heartburn regarding the dryContinue reading “How Do You Spell Relief?”
Not Forgotten
The throaty rumble of a big, round engine vibrated the ground and surroundings as the T-6 flew over. Planes like this had once trained WW II aviators to fly, fight, and die for their country. It reminded me of one such aviator that I met while working at a local VA clinic. He had survivedContinue reading “Not Forgotten”

It was a daunting challenge for one who last golfed about 20 years ago. With quiet determination, I held the club firmly and concentrated on the swing. The club hit the ballContinue reading “Where Golf Balls Go to Die”

Bridge Over Falling Waters
We just had to stop to admire the beauty of this “Bridge Over Falling Waters.” And it was not troubled, not troubled at all. (with apologies to Simon and Garfunkel) Photo by Fairy #multnomafalls #waterfall #bridge #notrouble
Cider Vision
A topsy turvy world appeared through the glass of cider with distant mountains and golden clouds in an amber sky turned upside down. It mattered little, for as the liquid lowered in the glass, the landscape returned to normal, and it was I, not the view that was a little tipsy. #tipsyturvy #cider #amberliquid #tipsy
Lady Bugged
Its orange, black-speckled carapace contrasted with the bright green foliage and created an almost charming scene. However, with its head facing the leaf and its backside towards the photographer, the ladybug seemed to be expressing its esteem for each. #ladybug #foliage #esteem
Say “Ah…”
We stopped recently at Sacagawea Historical State Park at the confluence of the Snake and Columbia rivers and saw this cruise ship with a gangplank protruding from its gaping bow to allow passengers to go ashore. It came from Portland, Oregon, on the Columbia River and was headed to Clarkston, Idaho, 150 miles farther upContinue reading “Say “Ah…””
