Highway Clean-up at the Beach, Courtesy of Rotary!

Everything!, Long Beach Peninsula, Real Estate, Water Front, Water Vew

The Rotary Club of SW Pacific County Peninsula does highway clean-up twice a year.  This year, the weather was perfect!  We meet at the Visitor’s Bureau and clean from there to Black Lake in Ilwaco.  The strangest thing I found was a broken aluminum crutch!  I was glad I didn’t find the owner further down the road.  One thing I don’t understand is why people think that cigarette butts aren’t litter….  I was cheered when a man went by on a bike and thanked me for keeping our community clean.  We do have a great community, don’t we?

Highway Clean-up!

After clean-up and a refreshing iced tea, I was ready for my appointment to show properties, and it was a beautiful day for it.  An especially fine day for waterfront so call me if you’d like to see some too!  Find them here: WATERFRONT!

Enjoy the wonderful weekend and Happy Mother’s Day. That takes in moms, step-moms, quasi-moms, dog moms and cat moms!  My Mom’s been gone a long, long, time, but she’s still in my heart.

Sea Turtles, Rotary and the Beach!

Saturday night was Rotary’s Oysters and Art – what great food! Rotary works hard and really devotes a lot of time to their projects.  I’m glad I was able to attend, even though I didn’t manage to score anything at the silent auction.
