JP's on Facebook

I am making every effort to come into the 20th century. Personally I am pretty comfortable with a rocking chair at the General Store as a venue for swapping stories and socializing. I like simple things and the mass social media is not really simple for someone like me. That said, I recognize the benefits of reaching a lot of people quickly. Anyone who knows me, knows I can talk. (Understatement) I love people and I love to hear their stories. If I did nothing else visiting could be my profession. I joined Facebook as a way to keep up with my many children. I could peek at their lives and not intrude. I love seeing what they do and who they are friends with. I have been able to do the same with friends and old schoolmates. You know how it works and how much fun it can be. Now the restaurant gets to participate. Look for us on facebook and "like" us. We will keep you updated on what we are doing and tempt you with new specials. If you have been here...tell us about it. I you have not been here yet...Come on down!!! Soups on!

Award winning blogger

I would like to thank the academy for my award as world's least prolific blogger. I have not worked hard to win this award. I was speaking with a dear guest at the restaurant the other night and she mentioned my blog. I cringed as I thought how little I had posted. She helped me see that the first step was just to write something. So here I am. Today is the perfect day at the beach!! Sun, surf, birds and balmy skies. Wonderful!!! This is the day I gloat because I live here. I had to purchase seeds today. It was just too beautiful to not think about gardening. Peas and lettuce. Yummmm! I was on the radio station KMUN this morning to talk about the formation of the new Cannon Beach Culinary Arts Association. I am VP of this new Association. We want to bring the world news about the culinary arts in Cannon Beach and make us a world culinary destination. Doesn't that sound like fun? Food is such a wonderful addition to this world and we get to be a part of that. I will try to blog much more often and let you know what is going on. Stay Tuned.
