Shaniko continues to perk…

… the old storyteller Bing Bingham checked in again. Tumbleweeds Grocery and Gas in Shaniko passed their last fire marshall inspection and now they are just calibrating the pumps so they can order the gas. Travel between Biggs Junction and Madras just got sweeter.

And sweeter yet, since your stopping in Shaniko anyway, you might as well go in and buy an ice cream cone from Mayor Goldie. Tell her Sissy sent you – that’ll make her shake her head – smile.
Luv,
Sissy

Something’s happening in Shaniko…

… just heard from the old story teller Bing Bingham that Shaniko is getting gas. Can’t wait to see what that is about. Ha ha ha. There’s lots of things you can take for that you know.

I’m waiting Bing. Tell me more.
Luv,
Sissy

More from the country poet…

I looked up at the evening sky

And watched a barn owl flying high

Wings stretched out on either side

Little mousies, run and hide

Luv,

Sissy



Eleanor’s Undertow in Lincoln City…

… is named Eleanor’s Undertow because they specialize in take-out food. Undertow – away from the shore – get it?

Eleanor’s Undertow is right on the ocean end of 51st Street. You go in, order something “to go” and take it down and eat it on the beach. Eleanor has been doing that for 40 years – doing it before take-out was in.
Way to go Eleanor.
Luv, Sissy

Lincoln City is getting as green…

… as I am ( can’t get much greener than a green iguana – heh heh heh). I just stayed at one of their green inns and never had such a good time.

Just think of an antique mall with beds in it that serves free home-cooked hot breakfasts, takes pets, is just a few blocks from the Jennifer Sears Glass Float Foundry (and all the other things along 51st street in old town Taft). They have a $39 winter rate on right now. Look ‘em up at www.historicanchorinn.com.
I don’t think you better stay home another minute.
Luv Sissy
