Please join in a group activity to install the rubber mats on the remaining pathways.
Everyone is invited…you don’t have to be a member of a particular Committee. Many hands make light work. We need a good turnout for this.
Our pathways will finally be improved, safer, and look sharp!
TOMORROW, Wed. May 25, at 9am. Meet at the North lot of the Clubhouse.
The FDA, along with CDC and state and local partners, are investigating a multistate outbreak of Salmonella Senftenberg infections linked to certain Jif peanut butter products. View the FDA’s Jif product recall list.

Thursdays Home from an exhausting physical therapy: tired, depleted and hungry. And what did I find waiting for me? A wonderful “Meals on Wheels” dinner: beef tacos, corn salsa, refried beans and to top it off a delicious sugar cookie. Douglas County provides Meals on Wheels on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday with lunches (dinners) at the Senior Center. Continue reading

I like beer. Actually, I love beer. I especially love the taste of beer. Bock, Porter, Stout. The thick, dark, stand up a spoon in it, beer. Or, a really hoppy ale. Taste is everything. I know you will call me a beer snob when I tell you that I don’t like the Buds, Millers or Coors of the world. Just my taste, mind you. No reflection on you if that’s your thing. I won’t even mention Light ( Lite ) beer. They are an abomination and an insult to the brewer’s craft. Continue reading

“That’s Gold in Them Thar Hills” (thank you Bugs Bunny, actually “Yosemite Sam”). Friday afternoon the gold was music! For the first time in a l-o-n-g time the Timber Valley clubhouse rang with music. With music and about 30 enthusiastic, happy listeners.
Thanks to all who made yesterday’s Friday Social Hour Music Fest a great success!

A great day trip is a visit to the Siskiyou Smokejumper Base museum. It is four miles south of Cave Junction at the Illinois Valley Airport. It is an important part of southern Oregon history.
Our tour guide was a smokejumper at the base and shared a lot of information about the people, parachutes, sewing their own jumpsuits, gear, and many stories about the jumpers and how they got to the fires, fought the fires and walking out when the fire was out. The museum is in three buildings, and there are several planes on the runway. There are artifacts, pictures, and graphs to see.
We were the only two people there that morning and had an hour and a half tour. Visit www.siskiyousmokejumpermuseum.org for more information and a contact number, 541-441-4804, for a guided tour.

“Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary”…. Well, it was more like 7 a.m. but it felt like midnight. And yes, I felt weak and weary as I peered bleary eyed into my smoothie container. I dumped a handful of beautiful red strawberries in and suddenly I wondered. Continue reading
