Recommendation for Ginger Matyas

I have had the best experiences working with Ginger over the past year and highly recommend her for all your pet-sitting and dog-walking needs! Ginger is incredibly thoughtful, reliable, responsive, and trustworthy. She has worked with us when we needed daily walks for our dog in addition to providing overnight services. I cannot say enough positive things about working with her and hope you will consider her for any upcoming pet needs! Megan Nelson

Love Bird Django Needs a Home

Submitted By: dlrossaz52@aol.com – Click to email about this post
My daughter moved to New Mexico, leaving behind a lovebird. Love Birds are from the parrot family of birds, and Django talks. His language includes: peak-a-boo, Hey there cutie, come here, here kitty-kitty, dog, and wolf whistles. He is ten years old and is quite entertaining. I’m having a hip replacement at the end of October and it was never my intention to keep him.

He comes with a large cage, pictured. Some toys, a travel cage and quite a bit of food.

Birding on the Bay

Submitted By: info@netartsbaywebs.org – Click to email about this post
Join Friends of Netarts Bay WEBS and Portland Aubudon’s Coastal Community Science Biologist, Allison Anholt, to observe coastal birds on and near Netarts Bay. We’ll start off the day with an overview of the endangered Western Snowy Plover and the “Plover Patrol” program run by Portland Audubon and Oregon State Parks coordinating community scientists to monitor this recovering species on the north coast including Netarts Spit. We will travel to various locations around the bay and surrounding headlands and hope to see soaring brown pelicans, great blue herons, bald eagles, songbirds, and cormorants among others from afar and bayside.
Details:
Be prepared to walk up to 1-2 miles to and from observation points.
Participants will need to provide their own transportation between locations and may need to purchase a day-use permit at the state park. The specific route and locations will be shared at the start of the program. Carpooling is encouraged.
Gear: Bring binoculars (two spotting scopes and a few binoculars will be available) and appropriate shoes (please no flip flops). The climate can change quickly along the coast, ranging from warm to cool and breezy, so please bring the gear you need to stay comfortable. This event will take place primarily outdoors. If bad weather develops, an alternate plan will be communicated to the registered participants.
Registration Required at www.eventbrite.com/e/summer-birding-on-the-bay-registration-663801637567
Cost: There is no cost to attend this program. Tax-exempt donations to Netarts Bay WEBS to enable programs like this are encouraged, but not required.

CAR IS NOT RUNNING
I’ve been driving this car for 5 or 6 years. Never had a problem. Recently, on a trip to Seaside, it overheated. It was steaming so bad I pulled over and had it towed home. Now it won’t start. I had a friend look at it and he found that oil has leaked into the spark plugs and oil has somehow got into the coolant reserve. I don’t know know any mechanics out here so I’m looking to get a new car. I can have it towed to you with my AAA anywhere within Tillamook county. I have the title. If you can fix it, the car is in good shape for it’s age. I bought it from a mechanic in Seattle who took good care of it.

TUESDAY!

Submitted By: pattyrinehart@nehalemtel.net – Click to email about this post
Tuesday, Tuesday, what am I supposed to remember about Tuesday? Was it the Fair-no that I’m going to on Wednesday. Watering and fertilizing the tomatoes? No, I’m doing that today. Taco Tuesday at the Deli? Well as much as I LOVE those tacos, I’m not supposed to eat them. Oh, yes, now I remember! It is going to be $5 Tuesday for the Friends of North County Recreation District flower sales. Which of course takes place next to the Manzanita Grocery & Deli in downtown Manzanita. Can life get any better-tacos and flowers! Just don’t get the two mixed up. Eating the flowers may not hurt you but putting your tacos in water won’t do the taco any good-oh I love those tacos. Anyway…Friends of NCRD has lots of nice flowers coming on so be sure to pick up your $5 arrangement-worth at least $10 or more-at the Deli. I’m sure you remember if you don’t get your flowers on Tuesday you have to wait until Thursday to get the next Friends bouquets. Friends of NCRD are selling flower bouquets next to Manzanita Grocery & Deli on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Taking Sunday and Wednesday off. Need special flowers for a birthday, family reunion, or just to say you care? Contact Gail at gailmyoung@mac.com or call her at 503-830-3759. Or, if you have an itch to help us arrange bouquets you can also contact Gail. Friends mission is to promote and support by raising funds for scholarships, programs, and projects. Friends of NCRD is a 501© (3) organization. Allergic to flowers? Donations can be mailed to Friends of NCRD, PO Box 511, Nehalem, Oregon 97130. Sales start at 9 AM. Thanks!
