Welcome to Aug-vember…..  No one expected the storms we’ve had this week.  Getting kites in the air in this weather will be a challenge!  But it’s a great time to look at houses and see if the roof leaks.  Although, things are looking up with the sunshine!

Charlie and I are in the midst of hosting the 8th annual Chaumont Air Force Reunion.  We’ve traveled to different parts of the country getting together with some of the men stationed in Chaumont, France in the 60’s.  This year we volunteered to host it in Ilwaco.  So, if you need me, call my cell phone!

Here are a few important messages regarding some great listings – In addition to these, available right now are mean high tide properties, western upland boundary properties (both homes and vacant land), condos, ocean view, lake view, lake front, camping lots, businesses, you name it. If you’re thinking of a move to the beach whether for vacation, investment, snow-bird, full-time or retirement living, we’re here to help you and remember, “we’re looking out for you”!
