Posted on September 1, 2007 by Mokihana

Last Saturday we had to do an appraisal in Warren, Oregon. Dunno where that is? It’s right next to Scappoose, Oregon. Dunno where that is? It’s about 27 km from Portland. Dunno how many miles is dat? Mahalo to my favorite km to miles converter, I can tell u. 16.7778 miles!

Scappoose is a city located in Columbia County, Oregon. It was named for a nearby stream, which drains the southern part of the county. The name “Scappoose” is of Native American origin, and is said to mean “gravelly plain”.

Because I see her a lot, I was able to sneakily surrepticiously ask her what she considered to be the color of comfort. Right after she told me, I set out on a quest to find just the right yarn.

Posted on August 27, 2007 by Mokihana

After leaving the wonderful sunflowers, we continued on our way back to civilization. I was dreading re-entry; I love the countryside, the wide vistas, and the absence of much traffic. Out in the country, with its wide skies and endless vistas, I feel more relaxed and more at peace with myself.

That 1967 decision still guarantees public use of Oregon’s beaches today. ” Continue reading →
