August 2019
a newsletter about current events & updates
Greetings!
I was just curious about when these newsletters began - and the earliest I could find archived was February 2013. That's a lot of newsletters. Now that I do them once a month - be sure and get your information to me early or it will be too late for people to see what you are promoting.

There is so much to do around here for the rest of the summer - have fun.

Also, I just discovered a very cool park - it's in Medford and definitely worth the trip. It's a SAND park. It's the Oregon Hills Park and it's located at 6001 East McAndrews Road. It's fabulous - but be sure and go early morning - it's too hot right now to go later.

Enjoy!
Hyla
If you want something added to this newsletter - please click here! The best thing to send me is a PDF or JPG of a poster describing your announcement. Do not send me press releases. They don't work well in this format and I don't have the time to reformat them. Thanks!

Also - I am in the process of updating the website (which hasn't been done in a long time) - so pretty soon things will be more up to date.

My daughter is a very good cook and baker. Probably more on par with a chef than a cook. She recently told me that she is hooked on Pasta Grannies on YouTube and I have to admit she's right! Here's a sample showing how to make shoe shaped ravioli.
