They are a special type of jeans that is supposed to fit multiple sizes (14-18) but they really don’t.
I’m a size 16, and when I first put them on, I was like “YESSSS these are AMAZING!” But after they warmed up on my body, it became obvious that they are really only meant for the upper end of the size. Probably best for 18/20.
I purchased one pair of regular length- Indigo w/ fading – same as attached image, and one long length- dark indigo no fading . The long ones could be cut or hemmed.
Sale price was $119.00 each. Selling both pair together for $150.

The Rising Sun
In the warming light
of a new day,
these moist banks
of a descending stream.
Appreciation is given.
Binding roots
from ancient trees
cradle a quiet heart
that would be open.
Able to be held,
beauty weaves its way
into an enduring dream.
The latest post regarding Oregon registration rolls is quite misleading. Here are the facts:
“As of January 2026, the Judicial Watch case in Oregon has resulted in a partial dismissal, though the broader litigation is ongoing.
Key developments in the case include:
Judicial Watch Dismissed as Plaintiff: In August 2025, U.S. District Judge Michael McShane ruled that Judicial Watch lacked standing to challenge Oregon’s voter rolls directly. While Judicial Watch can no longer act as a primary plaintiff, the court ruled that the Constitution Party of Oregon, a co-plaintiff in the same suit, does have standing to proceed.
Case Status: The lawsuit, Judicial Watch, Inc. v. Griffin-Valade (Case No. 6:24-cv-01783), continues with the Constitution Party of Oregon as the primary challenger. A hearing for the ongoing litigation is scheduled for January 14, 2026, at the U.S. District Court in Eugene.”
If one were truly concerned regarding the state of our democracy, it would seem only prudent to fully vet one’s sources. Judicial Watch is suspect.
Thanks to all that have responded in support.

Mission Statement: To nurture each child by providing a joyful, place-based learning experience.
One paragraph about your organization’s history/work:
Founded in 1983, we are a nonprofit organization providing an independent education for preschool and elementary children. We have a Vision for our school, our coastal villages and our world in which all people become their best selves, curious, confident, creative problem solvers and stewards of their home place. By providing a foundation of experiential, hands on education for the whole child, the Fire Mountain Community nurtures healthy, happy, lifelong learners. Teachers and parents join together to create a community structure within which children experience discovery, challenge, experimentation, risk, failure and mastery. For children, experiential outdoor education can impart deeper understanding of the world, and instill a sense of wonder and excitement. Our place based curriculum seeks to educate children to become engaged citizens. Students will explore the north coast landscapes with their eyes open – learning to perceive the world around them clearly, to understand the processes that shape it, to gain confidence and skills in navigating outdoor settings, and to have the opportunity to engage and interact in the “living laboratory” of their home communities. Parents and community volunteers fulfill all operational duties, such as fundraising, bookkeeping, maintenance, cleaning, and marketing.

At the repair cafe, we pair you with an expert fixer who can take a look at your item, help you diagnose the problem, and most likely fix it! You can learn some repair skills as you watch. It’s very rewarding to give your item a new life, keep it out of the landfill, and learn something new.

THE WORST VOTER ROLES IN THE COUNTRY. — and I live here and I don’t like that – because I believe in Democracy and that aint it!
The current president is asking for some states to turnover their voter roles. The current president has the right to do this. Tobias Reid, Sec. of State says – I will not turn Oregonians personal sensitive information over to the government. BUT WAIT! Just exactly what is the personal sensitive data that you put on the form to register to vote?
There is a legal definition for personal sensitive information and here it is:
In Oregon, under the Oregon Consumer Privacy Act (OCPA), “sensitive data” broadly includes personal data revealing racial/ethnic origin, national origin, religious beliefs, mental/physical health, sexual orientation, transgender/non-binary status, victim status, citizenship/immigration status, genetic/biometric info, and a child’s data (under 13), plus precise location data, requiring explicit consent for processing. This definition offers enhanced protections beyond many other state laws, covering more vulnerable groups.
Is this information required on the form you filled out to register to vote? NOPE – so umm Just what is Secretary Reid talking about? Here is the info required on the voter form: ARE YOU A CITIZEN? ARE YOU 16 YEARS OF AGE? NAME – ADDRESS – DATE OF BIRTH –
COUNTY – PHONE – E-MAIL
MAILING ADRESS – DRIVERS LICENSE – POLITICAL PARTY – Thats all folks. That is all! No sensitive personal information requested to register to vote!
Oregon’s Secretary of State will only send REDACTED voter rolls for the request!. What could be redacted? I would like to see my voter role information – what could be on there that needs to be redacted? I see in my minds eye, a television personality on the nightly news – holding up a large handful of papers that are totally blacked out – like Epsteins List papers, and saying “and these are Oregon’s voter roles……..

Happy New Year!!!!

AGAINST THE CURRENT: FATHER TOM ODDO AND THE NEW AMERICAN CATHOLIC covers the In the wake of Stonewall and the Second Vatican Council. Father Oddo paved the way for those seeking a space where faith and identity could coexist. He co-founded DignityUSA at just 29 years old, positioning himself as a key figure in the fight for civil rights. By 38, he became President of the University of Portland, a rising academic star poised to transform higher education.
A tragic car accident cut his life short at 45, but his story and his legacy continue to impact the course of the Church today.
In Against the Current, Tyler Bieber presents a compelling biography based on intimate interviews, personal archives, and never-before-seen documents. The book explores encounters with celebrities, politicians, and Pope John Paul II while diving into themes of hope, resilience, and loss. It reveals a forgotten chapter of American history, a story of courage within the confines of tradition, and a meditation on redemption, identity, and the future of Catholicism.
During this time, Classic Street will remain open from Necarney to Jackson Way for residents of the Classic Street Cottages only. There will be no through traffic permitted.

This month’s story is Knight Owl by Christopher Denise. Owl has always dreamed of being a knight. Children will hear how Owl’s wish comes true and the problem he faces once he is keeping watch over the castle. Beautiful illustrations and Owl’s adventure will be sure to captivate children and adults alike. The story will be accompanied by trumpet player, Scott Wagner. Afterwards preschoolers will learn more about the trumpet and take part in making their own music with provided instruments.
The free readings for children ages 2 to 5 are planned monthly in partnership between North Oregon Coast Symphony, North Tillamook Library in Manzanita, and Seaside Library. For more information visit North Oregon Coast Symphony’s website at www.nocsymphony.org.
