Columbia Gorge Baseball - Hitting League Practice Week 4
Due to the Thanksgiving holiday, the players had an off week last Sunday.   They still practiced last Saturday.  And this weekend, they were up early Saturday morning and heading for the batting cage to get their swings in for the game Sunday.
It was a bit cold, under 20 degrees, when they got to the cage, with snow on the ground.  The following pics show a bit of practice as they get their swings.
After the first three weeks, the guys are ranked first in the 32 team league for 13U players … (2 comments)

Classic Sidewalk Cafe Mexican Food... Visit Hood River's Taqueria
 
This is one of our family's favorite places to grab a quick bite... Hood River's Taqueria. That's partly because the outdoor patio is just so fun to eat on and partly because the food is yummy and fast!
The huge, tree shaded patio offers a fun view of the hustle an bustle of Hood River. It's the perfect spot to relax away an autumn afternoon. It's also very popular for business folk and workers in the area for lunch.
Featuring traditional Mexican food, the Taqueria's owners brag that they hail … (1 comments)

Cheerful & Feisty With A Face That Intrigues... Meet Lucy!
 
This adorable gal is Lucy, a five year old Boston Terrier/French Bulldog mix. And what an all around great gal she is... with personality to spare! She might be described as a "tom-boy" as she just dives into playing with other dogs and shows her feisty side. And just look at those gorgeous, intriguing eyes. In some cultures different colored eyes are considered to be good luck. Lucy loves everyone she meets, is very polite even to cats and adores kids. She's going to fit into almost any family … (7 comments)

Miss Suzi is a very sweet, 8-year-old corgi/collie mix with an over abundance of personality. She's going to make someone such a great little companion as she just adores her walks and is an angel on a leash. Suzi also loves her car rides, maybe even very best of all, and will just ride and ride, keeping an eye on everything as she goes. She is also great with other dogs and seems to love everyone she meets. Suzi is going to be such an easy girl to have … (3 comments)

Charming Older Man, Looking For A Lonesome Lap... Meet Chester!
 
Chester's is one of those stories that just broke my heart and made me want to hurt the folks who treated him so badly. This poor guy was just recently rescued from a puppy mill where he spent his entire nine years of life being used and neglected. He didn't get the food he should and his teeth were in such bad shape, he had to have all but three removed. His neglected coat is still recovering, but it's growing in nicely and he starting to show how handsome … (6 comments)

Wordless Wednesday - Jessa Finds The Sun
 
Fellow Active Rainer, Toni Weidman, posted a blog about her cat Shayna finding whatever patch of sunlight she can to take a moment for herself and revel in the warmth. I came across this shot of my chihuahua, Jessa, doing just that. I love the reminder to take a moment to recharge our spirits and to take advantage of the good parts of our lives.

Wordless Wednesday - Another Stellar Day on the Columbia River
 
Our kids can't seem to get enough of the beach/river during the summer so today found us there once again. It was a little windy for my taste (can you say sand in the Taco Bell we had taken with us?), but it brought out the windsurfers and kiteboarders in droves. This is the weather they live for! In case you don't know, the Columbia River Gorge and Hood River, Oregon are world famous for its windsurfing and kiteboarding as the unique geographical formation of the canyon provides optimum … (3 comments)

Hood River & Columbia River Gorge BUYERS! This Is As Good As It Gets!
 
If you've been considering buying a home, NOW IS THE TIME TO ACT!
In the Columbia Gorge and Hood River areas, real estate prices have hit their low. The market is on the verge of switching from being a buyer's market to a seller's market, which means prices should be going up and sellers will have the negotiating "edge". Buy now, while you have the advantage.
Inventories are at a low, which simple economics indicate demand will rise and prices can only follow. Now is … (1 comments)
