If you develop a craving for authentic Mexican food, you should stop in at Neustra Mesa in downtown Camas. This refreshingly different restaurant features fresh, organic (when possible) and flavorful food. Those of us who live across the river from Portland, love to find a local spot that could compete among that city’s many wonderful eateries. And Neustra Mesa can and does!NeustraMesa, or “Our Table,” is owned and operated by Todd and Tania Moravitz.  Years ago, Todd traveled to Mexico and opened a small restaurant in the fishing village of Sayulita. It was there where he met his wife, and their love, and mutual love of food,  blossomed.  The couple eventually moved to the Northwest and spent time working in the food industry in Seattle and Portland gaining experience and ideas. Todd ...

 Friends of Trees As a little girl, one of my best friends was actually a tree – an evergreen we called “Old Faithful.”  For as long as I remember, he stood out there in the woods across from my house – tall, solid, majestic. At the base of his trunk my friends and I would play for hours.  There was even the occasional bird funeral, complete with solemn procession and a little eulogy as our giant comrade presided quietly over the proceedings.  On occasion I’d climb up, sit nestled in those big solid limbs and just marvel at nature and all that surrounded us.   So, it’s no surprise to me that trees can be one of our best friends in our effort to be more responsible with our resources. Trees, properly selected and placed, can become effective windbreaks, saving considerably in annual heat...

  Naming a Favorite Child?If we were all clinging to the side of a cliff, who would you save first?  Do your kids ever prompt you to name a favorite? My daughter, always testing, used that scenario on me for years. Naturally, I'd shake my head, smile and say something like, "Oh good grief, that will never happen, and if it did, I'd jump over the edge because it would be too painful to choose." Naming a Favorite Grandchild?So fast forward through the years, and now I have four unique and wonderful grandchildren. Do I have a favorite? Of course not. Skyler with her bouncy curls and penchant for bugs is just the most adorable and delightfully feisty little girl. The oldest, four year old Sage, lives up to his name with a sensitive, soulful and loving demeanor. And Connor, with big brown ey...

Camas Pending Home Sales took a jump up of over 50% from February's results, showing that home buyers this year are ready to move!Earlier this month we've logged into the Camas MLS to identify what direction the real estate market is heading. Here are the key statistics we have to report: From this quick look at the home sales action we see 5.7% more Active listings with the mix consistently weighted relative to the distressed property category levels at just under 1/3rd of the existing inventory. However, the distressed Pending Sales finally dropped down to a similar level as the Active inventory. The number of Closed Sales moved up to 36, which is an excellent sign of a more normal market.

Dear Beneficial Mortgage Customer: I wanted to call to your attention a short sale experience I had with Beneficial Mortgage Company (a division of HSBC). I have a current client who lost his job and could no longer afford his Camas, WA home financed by Beneficial Mortgage. After months of struggling to get a loan modification, we listed the house as a short sale. Within a week I was in contact with the appropriate party at the bank, and was able to negotiate a pre-approved price plus a generous relocation fee for my client. A month later we are moving on to closing, and my seller is moving on to a new life without the burden of this debt. This sale was not a part of the HAFA program, it was a special deal I negotiated with Beneficial on his behalf. If you considering a short sale, lett...

    The adorable Puffin Cafe is located in the Port of Camas Washougal WA on the Columbia River. It is such a fun little Carribean type restaurant to sneak away to grab a bite to eat and watch the water traffic of boats, people and birds. The food is delicious, reminisent of Jamaican/Carribean flavors. There are so many items on the menus to try out that are different from your usual burger, fries and a drink. And speaking of drinks...The Puffin Cafe is such  a happy party place. Just gather your friends and meet there for Happy Hour or a meal and you  will be pleasantly surprised.Here is the info you need to find their great hang-out spot: A Taste of the Tropics!

Great Customer Service in Camas/ Washougal WA Coffee House! do you remember Norm??? You know the tax accountant at Cheers, he walk in and everyone says HELLO Norm....  That's what it is like when I go to Starbucks in Camas/ Washougal off HWY 14, The staff is amazing they are always working hard to and they say hello to every time I walk in.. I get that Large Decaff coffee all the time.  Then they ask if I am getting my wife anything or my little girl.  They are so happy to help.. if you have not been there in a long time you need to go....   If you have been there you need to go back and just say thank you!!  We all get tied up with things going on, and we usually forget to say thank you to peopel that help us.. Yes they are getting paid, that does not mean we can not say "Thank you".  ...
