The Friends of Rockaway Beach Library are grateful for the support of our annual Independence Day book sale from the community and visitors. A big thank-you to the county librarian, Friends board members, spouses, neighbors, and friends who generously offered their time and helping hands on July 2 & 3.

This successful sale, thanks to everyone who came by and picked up a book or two (or ten!), helps fund building maintenance and keeps our county library facility thriving.

Hope to see you next year!

WHERE I WENT WHEN I DIED – @ Cloud & Leaf Bookstore July 18 5:30

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

In 1982 when I was 22, I believed in nothing. Religion was ridiculous. God was a Santa Claus for adults. Yet when lidocaine poisoning stopped my heart for 3+ minutes, I shot out of my body and journeyed to the heart of the sun, where an overwhelming love inundated me until I was told, “You can’t stay; you’re not done yet.” Realizing I’d been sent back into the “meat puppet,” as I thought of it, was beyond devastating.

Even so, my dominant belief system quickly rebounded and rejected the experience as hypoxia – or some such dying brain symptom. Imagine my cognitive dissonance in the years that followed when I saw a ghost, foreknew a death, and got sternly chastened by my guardian angel after driving home hammered on booze: “This is the last time I can help you. And you do know right from wrong,” he said.

Once he’d initially reached me, he wouldn’t quit. He kept teaching and teaching what life is for and conveying gentle amusement at my spiritual toddler ways. Soon I could “hear” other spirits as well – most recently an unhappy ghost in my Nehalem house!

My book, Die-Hard Atheist, recounts my struggle to NOT believe the series of paranormal events that relentlessly invaded my normal Newtonian world, until I gave up and embraced the joy of knowing there is more.

I am a retired woman looking for a place to rent Aug 7-28. My daughter is working at a winery in Newberg, and I’d like to visit with her as well as experience living on the beautiful Oregon coast. I am alone with my traveling cat who is litter-trained, indoor only and well behaved.

Would anyone be interested in renting to me?
Thanks for your consideration!

Birdfeeders (and other stuff)

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

These 3 sunflower birdfeeders need a home. They’re used but are of good construction and still in good shape. Easy to use. Birds love them and all manner will happily and easily use them. They were designed to be squirrel-proof but I don’t think they met the genius-level brown squirrels we have around these parts. If you live in a place free of them or are happy to feed them these work great.

We also have a heavy outdoor robe hanger (for an outdoor hot tub), 2 x 6’ black torchiere floor lamps, 2 one cubic foot either plant holders or small end tables (it makes sense) and a bamboo probably bathroom light (wall mounted and unused). I have pictures of all these and may get around to posting them individually but maybe not. Inquire for photos.

Everything is free, either lightly or unused and all in good shape. Up by the water towers in Manzanita.

Sometimes seen as lead guitarist for Americana Stalwarts such as Willy Tea Taylor and the Fellership, Jaime Wyatt, The Turkey Buzzards or Riley Downing of The Deslondes.
Kris has shared stages with rock and roll legends like Foghat, The Marshall Tucker Band, Blue Oyster Cult, Phil Lesh, and Molly Hatchet, as well as soon to be legends The White Buffalo, Scott H Biram, Jesse Dayton, Turnpike Troubadours, and Blackberry Smoke.

Modern Stitches Quilt Show July 1 – 30 at NCRD

Meet the Maker Thursday July 9, 4 pm – 6 pm

Auditioning colors, arranging visual elements, discerning patterns, finally something resonates. The process becomes a meditation. In this fraught time, making and quilting offer a kind of reverie.

You’re invited to see a group of my modern quilts on display July 1 – 30, 2026 at NCRD in the Gallery and Fireside Room. Come by to Meet the Maker Thursday July 9 from 4 pm – 6 pm.

The textile industry is one of the largest contributors to global greenhouse gas emissions. Quilting is not exempt from this cycle of production and consumption. In response, I am shifting my practice toward the use of reclaimed materials—fabrics cut from discarded garments sourced through family, friends, and thrift stores. Several of the quilts shown incorporate recycled men’s shirts, neckties, bed sheets and fabrics thrifted from resale shops. While this is a small gesture, it is part of the movement that’s reimagining waste as resource.

Several quilts are for sale. Proceeds benefit NCRD and the Nehalem Bay Community Services Food Pantry.
