As Usual, Friends and Flowers

Submitted By: pattyrinehart@nehalemtel.net – Click to email about this post
Getting more flowers each day, Friends of North County Recreation District (NCRD) continues to sell flowers in downtown Manzanita next to the Little Apple Grocery & Deli. Tomorrow, Friday, we will feature flowers and arrangements coming from Judith Stone-Aaen. Judith has a wonderful yard and puts lots of work into it. Judith also knows the scientific plant names (Binomial Nomenclature) of all the flowers she grows-not an easy feat, but what a talent! When Judith started arranging her own flowers, Friends had the biggest sales day of this summer. Judith’s flowers will be at the Deli at 9 AM. Get there early to get your favorite colors. Friends of North County Recreation District thank Judith for all her help. We have other flower donors I hope to bring to you in our next release. We couldn’t do it without them!
Yes, we will be selling flowers in downtown Manzanita tomorrow, Friday, also Saturday, Monday, Tuesday, and then next Thursday. Our days off would be Sunday and Wednesday. Thanks to all who are bringing us clean vases. This is a huge help and savings to Friends.
If you need a special bouquet for family reunions, birthday parties, or any occasion you might imagine just let us know and we will deliver in this area. Call Gail at 503-830-3759 or leave a message with Patty at 503-368-6081 and we will get back to you to find out what you might need. Thanks!

Back to School Help/Clothing & School Supplies

Submitted By: pattyrinehart@nehalemtel.net – Click to email about this post
CHILD TAGS are available for you to help our Kids get a good start for going back to school. Run by the Nehalem Bay United Methodist Church (NBUMC) at this time the CHILD program will be providing children, preschool-12th grade, with clothing and school supplies. Making a positive impression on that first day of school is important to our kids-I think we can all remember this, for some of us it’s a bit foggy.
You can pick up a CHILD TAG at several places locally, the two banks in Manzanita, Manzanita Grocery & Deli, Nehalem Lumber, North County Recreation District and at the Methodist Church in Nehalem. The TAG will tell you the age of a child, sizes, and favorite colors. The TAG will also tell you what the child needs such as pants, tops, shoes, jackets, underwear, and so on.
You can return the gifts to where you picked up your TAG or to the Methodist Church in Nehalem. Be sure you call the church before you go to make sure there is someone there. The NBUMC is located on 10th Street in Nehalem, just one block off Highway 101. The phone number is 503-368-5612.
I think we all understand if you are not into shopping-getting on Highway 101 and all that. If you prefer to just write a check, please send it to NBUMC/Child Program, PO Box 156, Nehalem, Oregon 97131. Please be sure to write CHILD in the memo line. There are also jars for contributions at the registers at Manzanita Grocery & Deli.
If you have questions, I’ll try to answer them. Just leave a message on my phone, Patty, 503-368-6081. Thank you all for your help. This has been a very successful program for our youth.

A DOG!

Submitted By: Baltizaar09@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
I am a NEW local Dog walker and wanted to share this beautiful poem:-
……….Just a dog.
From time to time people tell me “chill out, it’s just a dog” or “it’s a lot of money just for a dog.” They don’t understand the distance traveled, the time invested, or the costs incurred by “just a dog”.
Some of my proudest moments have occurred with “just a dog.”
Many hours have passed being my only company “just a dog”, but not for one moment did I feel despised. Some of my saddest moments have been because of “just a dog,” and on those gray days, the gentle touch of “just a Dog” gave me comfort and the reason to get through the day.
If you also think “it’s just a dog”, then you’ll probably understand phrases like “just a friend”, “just a sunrise” or “just a promise.” “Just a dog” brings into my life the very essence of friendship, trust and pure unbridled joy. “Just a dog” brings out the compassion and patience that make me a better person.
For “just a dog” I will get up early, take long walks and look forward to the future. So for me and people like me, it’s not “just a dog,” but an embodiment of all the hopes and dreams of the future, the memories of the past, and the absolute joy of the moment. “Just a dog” brings out the good in me and takes my thoughts away from myself and daily worries.
I hope one day they can understand that it’s not “just a dog”, but the one that gives me humanity and keeps me from being “just a human.” So the next time you hear the phrase “just a dog”, just smile because they “just don’t get it”.
“Just A Dog,” by Richard A. Animals.
“Master bedroom,” (1965) Andrew Wyeth

Bike for 6th grader

Submitted By: marieltasche@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Hello northcoastbbq community,

A local 6th grader’s bike was stolen this summer, and I am looking to replace it. I am wondering if anyone is willing to donate or sell for a fair price a bicycle for him, he is 5’8″, so I am guessing an adult bike would be best. I volunteer for a Tillamook County wellness coalition and this recently came to my attention, so I thought I’d reach out to the bbq community.

Thank you!

Dirty Bird’s Just Wanna Have Fun

Submitted By: kelleywebb731@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
What an incredible summer we are having here at Dirty Bird’s and we are getting so many thank you notes from members of the community who just love what we are up to. We love the love, so keep it coming!
There are still lots of opportunities to host events, classes, or whatever your heart desires here on the lot. We love hearing your ideas and can help you make it happen. Like when Kim approached us and said “we should screen the movie Stop Making Sense,” we said “Hell yeah Kim! that movie rocks” and proceeded to make it happen. Or when Stephanie approached us and said “I want to teach a yoga class that also gives back to our community,” we were like “Stephanie, you are an incredible human! Let’s do this girl!” Read more about this opportunity below.
Do you have an idea, but no idea how to make it happen? That’s our specialty! Reach out, and in the meantime here are a few updates about what’s happening on the lot. Join the fun!
COMMUNITY COMPOST CLUB Our Community Compost Club is growing, with over 40 members including the occasional visit from second homeowners and visitors! We are getting some really great notes from people about how much they love our worms. Like this one from Michelle:
”My family has a second home here in Manzanita and we spent as much time as possible here…I’m thrilled to have found the sweet little spot you have going on along with the composting opportunity. We’d love to participate!”
and this one from local resident Terri:
“I’ve been taking food scraps to the bin. I love being able to do this!”
We are feeling the love, and so are the worms! So much so, that we may just build another bin! Thanks to Natasha at Wild Manzanita for donating the pallets, and to local craftsman, Mattias for helping us build these amazing up-cycled worm bins. Want to join the Club? Just email us and we will send you all of the details.
YOGA FOR A CAUSE: SEPTEMBER 25TH 9-10AM Our good buddy Stephanie McBride is generously offering a yoga class that benefits the Nehalem Elementary School Food Program.

Stephanie McBride, LMT and Yoga Instructor will lead us through a gentle yoga class focusing on breathwork, micro movements and lymph movement. Come experience a new way of connecting and calming the body and mind with breathwork, move lymph and enhance range of motion with micro movements. Understand the science of why it’s important tapping into these key functions of the body.
If you would like to make a contribution of $10.00 that will be donated to Nehalem Elementary School for their food program. Sign up by emailing us (queenbee@dirtybirdsgardencenter.com).
