Remeber you heard this first from me.
Lake Breeze, formerly Boileau's was sold. Looks like some fantastic new owners will be taking care of the divided marina.
Bayview may still have a chance for survival.

September Equinox
Seems that I have largely ignored my musings, time has slipped away, and I find that fall is upon us. Sure could not tell that today, the day was very warm.
For those of you following Yvonne Wallis and Herb Huseland's assistance I have started a fund for him. Herb took money out of his pocket, he is living on a fixed income, and drove Yvonne to Seattle for her recent medical care. Anyone who wishes to assist can either contact Dean or myself and we will make sure that Herb gets the donation. Our home telephone number is 208-683-1980 or you can send donations to PO Box 422, Bayview, ID 83803.
On another subject:
I am wondering just who the new owners are for Boileau's 83 slips. Will a new personality bring a much needed shot of new life to Bayview? Is it possible that with the start of cooler fall temperatures, Bayview will find new fresh winds blowing into the marina area. Will the Grinch finally find his match?
Who are the new owners? Is it possibly ....
Just who are the new owners?
Will post as soon as I find out. Nice to have another personality along the waterfront.
As always,
Norma Jean, the one with rose colored glasses
Dean, the retired person
All four legged critters
And as always many blessing, God be with you!

Final Class and end of summer
Wow, I have been taking classes for so long now that I have finished my last class for my last degree I do not quite know what to do with myself. I find me wandering through the house with no real purpose, actually completing book that I have longed to finish reading.
Dean is putting together an area in the garage so I can work on my stained glass projects again. Many projects and lots of beautiful glass for me to play with. The last project was a bear free form for my son-in-law. That project ended being completed in my laundry room because it was so horribly cold that year. I could not work in my room because the glass kept shattering. I have a pattern that I promised to complete for my daughter, it seems that other projects always take first place.
I finished reading "The Help" today. The book was mentioned at the last 55+ dinner we attended, which by the way the next dinner is September 14 at the Community Center starting at 5:30pm. Having lived in Alabama during the era that book was written about brought memories to me. I can remember the "white and colored" drinking fountains in the court house and the colored maid my next door neighbor had. I also remember being taught that the nigras were really lucky that the white people took care of them during slavery days. I also remember hints of the KKK. James Brown, The Shades of Blue, and Aretha Franklin. What was written on the pages of The Help is poignant but I believe this book does not fully grasp the feeling of those days. Great book I recommend the reading of it.
The Chamber meeting is on Tuesday. This should be a lively meeting as the Chamber is discussing next years Bayview Daze and the street lights.
I had a comment made to me from a person that lived in the Seattle area concerning the mess we had with this years Bayview Daze. This comment really upsetme because it seems that other comments have been made concerning the late decision that the Chamber had no control over. I want whoever reads my blog to know that what occurred this year was in no way the fault of the current board, they simply inherited the issue and could not move forward since Lakes Highway refused to issue a permit until the two parties involved came to an agreement. The current board for the Bayview Chamber have done an outstanding job dealing with the issues that have come before them.
Show up for the Chamber meeting and help us decide how we are going to proceed next year for the July 4th celebration, a tradition that needs to continue as a Chamber function.
God Bless Everyone!

Herb, the MAN and Yvonne
Herb Huseland stepped up to the plate again last week and drove Yvonne over to Seattle for medical care. He thought that they would be able to leave as soon as the plate was removed from Yvonne's wound and she was well enough to travel. Alas that was not the case. Herb has been fighting bureaucracy over in the Seattle area with both Yvonne and himself being held hostage until the respective entities could figure out how to provide care for Yvonne.
Herb was quickly running out of money and patience. I tried to enlist some assistance Wednesday night but that did not materialize. This afternoon I located some postings from Nan to Herb on his blogspot and I contacted Nan. Her response was:

| "I made lots more calls for Herb yesterday and Yvonne is checking into Life Care in CdA for a few weeks so she can have her antibiotics administered by a skilled nursing facility. She should be there in a few hours. Herb is a saint...but he was really getting fed up with all of the BS he was being fed. Cannot blame him ! Anyhow they were on their way home at 1:30 when I talked to him." You can follow his experience on his blog www.bayviews.blogspot.com I am sure we will hear more from him but I wanted to thank Nan for helping in this very difficult situation. Say what you will but I truly admire Herb for taking the time to help this lady again. Norma Jean and Dean |

Thursday Morning Fire
As I was getting ready for work this morning I heard a siren, seemed to stop shortly after pulling into town. As I drove out of Bayview I was passed by many fire vehicles.
When I returned home this evening I received the news that a local family had had the fire which devastated their home.
Two email messages from others in town ....
A collection has been started for the Clanton family,
"To send a donation to the Clanton's, you can send it to the "Bayview Community Center Foundation" PO Box 493, Bayview, ID 83803. Please indicate that it is for the Clanton's."
Once again those of in Bayview will rally support for the family tragedy.

"Bayview Cafe??"
Bayview Cafe?
We visited The Bay Cafe' this morning and we have to say that Jay did a fabulous job with our breakfast.
Stephanie was the server and Henry was back in the kitchen supervising.
Neither Dean nor myself had any doubts about Jay's talents. Going there will be worth the trip.

Around the Town of Bayview
As many know by now Dean decided that he did not need to work anymore. He has officially put in for his retirement and we await the first check from Social Security. There comes a time in every one's life when it is necessary to decide whether putting up with other's baloney is really needed. We decided that it was time to move on and expand our horizon's. Or maybe just stay home at least for now.
Dean has been busy finishing projects around the house that neither of us could find the time to complete. He is planning a yard sale for Labor Day weekend. Treasures are available for all. We are selling our German Schrank that we have been carting around for decades. You might want to swing by the house and see if there is anything you would like to purchase. 34417 N Robin Lane, right across from the Community Center
I attended the latest Bayview Chamber of Commerce meeting. The main topic of discussion was the street lights that the Chamber is paying for here in Bayview. No conclusion has been decided. On the next agenda will be the topic of Bayview Daze. Some feel the event should be moved to another month, as for me I believe the tradition has been established for the July 4th weekend. I feel strongly that we should continue with the tradition. Sentiments that I had voiced at a previous meeting surfaced this last meeting, the July 4th celebration is really not about personalities but instead a celebration of our freedom and recognition of those who fought for our right to express our opinions. I will say this again Bayview needs to pull together, we are a community that was built on enjoying where we live, not a place to argue.
Also the Chamber will be electing three positions this year. It was decided last year to elect the full board and then hold an election for Vice-President, Treasurer, and Member at Large.
I nominate Vic for Vice President!
As a side the day after Dean left The Wheel, the kitchen manager walked out. He is presently working for the Dean's who are leasing three properties from Scenic Bay Marina, Henry and Cheryl currently are leasing The Patio, The Hook, and now The Bay Cafe. The former kitchen manager from The Wheel is working at the Cafe.
