This is one of my favorite issues to put together, with both the Senior focus and especially the Green Guide. Sustainability and local economy are near and dear to my heart, and something I happen to be passionate about. (As if you didn’t know!) ☺
It is a strange February we had this year, with daffodils and other early bloomers poking up as early as the second week. We’re not used to that sight until March, and it has some folks worried that the flower growing season is going to be out of whack. Read more

Just like the words claim, It’s the MOST Wonderful Time of the Year! And our son turns ONE! Wow!
Okay, aside from summer flip flops and warm heat, Christmas-time is my most favorite time of the year! I always itch to get my decorations up before the Thanksgiving celebration is over, although my husband usually nixes that idea.
‘Not until Thanksgiving is done’.

I love peanut butter. Mainly, I love peanut butter slathered all over chocolate. Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups are my absolute favorite, followed by Heath Toffee Bars at a close second.
But I was pleasantly surprised to discover that this month was National Peanut Butter Lover’s Month!
I have never had a whole MONTH to celebrate myself, so I was quite tickled to hear that November is now my month to party. Read more

Ten years! This is the celebratory issue of the Valley Bugler’s TENTH YEAR OF BUSINESS! **enter party sounds here**
Ten years ago, in a land not too far away, there rose from the ashes of the Advocate a publication called the Mt. St. Helens Valley Bugler. You can read more about the climb of this GOOD news newspaper on p.4 - as you enjoy taking a trip down “Memory Lane”. Memory Lane will shower you with fun tidbits pulled 
from the previous ten years of printing, and will give you a good idea of the history behind this “little community rag”. Read more

I keep cheering outloud - “Come on summer, hang on! Hang on!”
My birthday heralds the ending of summer and the beautiful transition into fall, which includes leaves turning blazing orange and red, school starting and a general transition of life.
You know, where we have to wear socks again.
My daughters don’t subscribe to socks much, they wear flip flops most of the year, rain or shine. What can I say, it must run in the family…
I’m getting excited about celebrating our TENTH ANNIVERSARY of BUSINESS this year in October. To celebrate, we are going to host a party in November, (location to be announced in October’s Issue) and really show our Thankfulness to our readers and advertisers.

People have been asking. So here’s the answer!
Eagle Crest was fabulous. Delicious. Warm and yet cool enough to enjoy the outdoors and have a multitude of adventures. We did have to work part of the time we were there on our laptops, but it is such a blessing that we were able to get away. It’s definitely not often that we leave!
Sigh. I wish I could go back and try to read my book by the pool this time!
Even though I didn’t get any book reading by the pool, I did happen to have one or two chances to Read more

Wow. There is so much going on in the world today that it sometimes makes me wish for NO INTERNET, NO TELEPHONE, NO COMPUTER, and NO TV. Radio would be okay, though. Don’t you sometimes crave the feeling of a quiet afternoon sitting on your porch with your only worry being how you will fill the time between dinner and bedtime? Or, being able to take a lazy stroll down the boardwalk with your hunny-bunny and not have your conversation turn to devastation, uncertainty, chaos and war?

Some special thank you’s need to be said before I get side-tracked down a rabbit trail.
