Gorgeous 20th Century Bed and Breakfast

I was born and raised in Astoria. Like the rest of us locals, I've never paid much attention to the bed & breakfasts that are all around us. But yesterday I had the task of taking photos of The Rosebriar Inn that we just listed for sale. I was floored at how beautiful it is and how much history it has. It was originally built in 1902 as a huge mansion for a prominent banker here in Astoria. Later it was used as a convent for the Catholic nuns...with some guests claiming to see them walking around still! In 1993 it was converted to a bed & breakfast and still houses guests to this day. The property has been delightfully preserved in all its natural beauty. The Rosebriar has 12 rooms all with private baths and most with gorgeous views of the Columbia River and Astoria's cityscape. It's situated on over a half acre with lovely grounds including a pond, waterfall and quiet outdoor seating. It also has a manager's apartment, separate carriage house and a terrific Captain's Suite. For travelers who want to explore Astoria by foot it's only 4 blocks to the waterfront and 2 blocks to downtown! It's truly a one of a kind property!

One of a kind Bed & Breakfast on the Market!

What to do with your Old Phone Book?

It's that time of year again. When went home today, there they were on my doorstep....new phone books. So what does one do with the old phone books they have? The easy thing to do is just toss it in the trash. Since I am very in to recycling, I have been looking for the usual dumpster the City of Astoria places for the community, as a phone book recycle drop station.

But....it's not there this year! So I went ahead and called Western Oregon Waste to see where it is, or will be. They informed me that because of the disappointing low turnout last year, the City of Astoria and Western Oregon Waste have made arrangements for us to place our old books in the curb side recycle boxes. Same goes for businesses. I think the curb side recycle is great, and wanted to share with you the how easy recycling is these days. Being able to drop your phone books in there now, is a plus! Our office has already done the transfer. I too have cleaned out my home.

If you are curious about your local recycle system, it only takes a minute to call. For people who live in our county, here is the web site http://www.westernoregonwaste.com/

So remember to Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. It has been made so easy for us to do these days!!

The Way to Start the Day

Like many of us, I imagine the night before, tomorrow's cup of coffee at the java joint, and the subsequent peaceful immersion into the morning paper. The anticipation itself provides solace until the actual moment. Then there is usually something disturbing that transforms tranquillity into tumult. It could be as little as grating voices from an adjacent table, an annoying cellphone call, or an irritating story. This morning it was amazingly peaceful. I managed to wend my way through the predictable paltry politics, the Wall Street whining, and the credit crisis crunch, and found a lovely article on Archeology in Oregon.

It was about sandals. Evidently in 1938 an archaeologist, while digging in a cave near Paisley, Oregon found more than 70 pairs of sandals crafted by warp and weft from sagebrush. They were estimated to be 10,000 years old, making them close to the oldest known artifacts in America, similar to those found of the Clovis people in New Mexico. This week, new carbon dating indicates that extracted human DNA is at least 14,300 years old, making the Paisley, Oregon, cave the oldest known human community on our continent.

During my peaceful moment, I was reminded again of my enjoyment in being an Oregonian. My mind wandered through time and space, and I saw those ruddy people living amidst the amazing vistas of our state eking out their existence. Like them, I was a member of a long chain of appreciative residents. Soon I would be leaving for work. My sandals would take me to the office. There I would be, tucked against the majestic Columbia River, flowing, as it did in past days, down to the sea.
