We’re highlighting Bush’s Fern View Farm simply because it’s near where we live and they grow amazingly tasty peaches and apples as well as other great produce, like strawberries, melons, “Bodacious” corn and more. It’s been family-owned and operated since 1952. They’re closed for the winter, and won’t open till spring, but they still have apples they set out for [...]

Our local elementary school students put on what for many was their inaugural concert. Most of the students playing had never performed before an audience before, and these young children from 3rd 4th and 5th grades, put on holiday concert sure to put a smile on the faces of all attending.

On Sept. 10, 2011 – that’s 9-10-11 – we took a drive out Rt. 126 to the coast of Oregon to visit the town of Florence and hit the beach. We happened upon Florence’s annual Classic Car Show.
