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!

Almost Spring

I have been told that I am one of the world's worst bloggers. I think that, while I am a slacker, world's worst is a touch ambitious. I am a better talker than I am a writer. That said...life is great. We have passed through the worst of the winter and are quite looking forward to
Spring. This weekend kicks off the festivities with Savor Cannon Beach. This should be a fun event and one that many people will look forward to in the future.
The annual Cannon Beach Children's Center Wine Walk is Saturday March 13th. We are kicking off our weekend with a Winemaker's Dinner on Friday the 12th at 7:30. We will have Warren Gilstrap of Gilstrap Brothers Winery. Bill has matched seven food courses with six of their wonderful wines. He has had a great time mixing and matching. Fresh wild salmon, succulent lamb, Italian meats and delights from his Greek heritage. We will finish with a refreshing Mango Tequila Lime Cheesecake. Purchase your ticket now. $95.00 Saturday Wine Walk will also feature Gilstrap Brothers wines.
The following week begins Spring Break for many parts of the Northwest. I love it when our guests return "en masse". Winter is a nice time to take it a bit slower but popularity is nice too. I hope our weather is as nice as the winter has been. We have had a lions share of beautiful days. Breathe... it is good for the soul.
