Let’s talk about Priest River

When Cathy Reynolds arrived at Priest River Animal Rescue to take over the afternoon shift caring for animals today, she found them gone! All the dogs and approximately 50 cats had disappeared some time between closing time yesterday and noon today. Since no one sounded the alarm this morning, it should be safe to assume [...]

This evening I decided to check out Sandpoint Realtor Rick Evan’s blog on Active Rain. I’m glad I did, because his latest post included a link to aerial photos of the Sandpoint bypass project. http://calljerry.biz/BywayProgress8-09/ In spite of seeing the maps over the years, I didn’t really have a feel for how that road would [...]

Since when is it this hot in mid-September? I read on the Q-6 weather report that Priest River set a new record this week with an “official” reading of 88 degrees. But someone told me a reader board in town said 92. Even this morning’s heavy rain turned to heat by mid afternoon. But I’m [...]

If you’re sick of shoveling snow, or wading in puddles of melted snow, maybe you’d like to go play in some snow, or at least watch other people play in it. This week-end, January 10-11 and January 17-18 you can enjoy Priest Lake’s annual snowshoe Softball Tournament. The location is Highway 57 & Luby Bay [...]

Whew! We went to Sandpoint today and I’m sure glad we got back early. The road was terrible and the wind and snow up there were biting. Thank God for hot tubs that warm bones. There was only about 3″ of new snow when we got home, but now— must be about 9 or 10 [...]

Thanks to Judy Black for sending this link… Thanks to Mother Nature, we’re not dreaming any more! Turn on your speakers…

I just visited the West Bonner Library website to renew a book that’s due today – and I found a service I didn’t know they had. We can now download audio books – for free. The database is large, so I expect there’s something there for everyone. All you have to do is sign up [...]
