I always say that I grew up on the wrong side of the tracks. Most memories are about Gray's Island where we spent the summers swimming in the creek and having many adventures. It was always boys chasing girls, dunking us in the creek, and having battles throwing pine cones and crabapples at each other. It was a time of innocence that could only be experienced during childhood. Read more Read less. Customers who bought this item also bought. Page 1 of 1 Start over Page 1 of 1.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later. This delightful collection of short stories takes us back to gentler, sweeter times. It has some very lively characterizations and we, of the older generation at least, who have seen so many changes over the decades can absolutely relate to the childhood memories portrayed in these short "vignettes" of local life in Graysville. The author is a talented quilt-maker, a great cook and home-maker not to mention a part-time poet and her early recollections make for a very agreeable and pleasant read.
I would recommend it to anyone. One person found this helpful. A relaxing and warm feeling came over me as I read these short stories of times past--comfort food, I kept thinking. I thoroughly enjoyed these stories--reminded me of my own childhood.

Shirley Turney has a way of drawing one into her tale, evoking feelings of "being there. Loved the short stories and beautiful poems. I sent a copy to my brother in Carrollton. He called me on Skype to let me know that he could hardly wait to start reading it! Precious memories of a wonderful childhood. This is a book about a simple life in simpler times that will make you laugh out loud. Some of the poems are memorials to people that have passed and some are silly and just for fun. This is a great read! The book is well written. The stories are funny and you can learn about how kids grew up in the fifties.
The poems are beautiful. Great book for everyone. Short read that leaves you with a warm feeling, reminded me of any southern upbringing. It is a must read! Just a great book of stories and poetry. It is great to read about the way things used to be. See all 7 reviews.

Where the Creek Bends. The Saddle Mountain Fault s "East" and "West", and not to be confused with a different Saddle Mountain s Fault in Adams county, eastern Washington [] , are a set of northeast trending reverse faults on the south-east flank of the Olympic Mountains near Lake Cushman first described in and Although the southwest striking Canyon River Fault is not seen to directly connect with the Saddle Mountain faults, they are in general alignment, and both occur in a similar context of Miocene faulting where Crescent Formation strata has been uplifted by the Olympics and a linear aeromagnetic anomaly.
Although these faults are west of the Hood Canal Fault previously presumed to be the western boundary of the Puget Lowland , new studies are revealing that the Saddle Mountain and related faults connect with the Seattle fault zone. The Canyon River Fault is believed to have caused a similar-sized earthquake less than 2, years ago; [] this is a particular hazard to the Wynoochee Dam to the west. The history and capabilities of the Frigid Creek Fault are not known.
It is not known to be seismic — indeed, there is very little seismicity south of the Tacoma Basin as far as Chehalis [] — and not even conclusively established to be a fault. This structure is shown in the gravitational mapping of , but without comment. They interpreted it as "simple folds in Eocene bedrock", though Sherrod saw sufficient similarity with the Seattle Fault to speculate that this is a thrust fault. Their model of the Black Hills Uplift is analogous with their "wedge" model of the Seattle Uplift, discussed above , but in the opposite direction.
If entirely analogous, then "roof duplex" might also apply, and the Olympia Fault would be a reverse fault similar to the Tacoma Fault. Aeromagnetic mapping in showed a very prominent anomaly [] such as typically indicates a contrast of rock type ; that, along with paleoseismological evidence of a major Holocene earthquake, has led to a suggestion that this structure "may be associated with faulting". A marine seismic reflection study [] found evidence of faulting at the mouth of Budd Inlet, just north of the Olympia structure, and aligning with faint lineaments seen in the lidar imagery.
It is uncertain how these faults relate to the structure, and whether they are deep-seated faults, or fractures due to bending of the shallow crust.

It has been speculated that the OS might connect with the seismically active Saint Helens Zone discussed below , which would imply that the OS is both locked and being stressed, raising the possibility of a major earthquake. That Olympia and the south Sound are at risk of major earthquakes is shown by evidence of subsidence at several locations in southern Puget Sound some years ago. The Doty Fault — the southernmost of the uplift-and-basin dividing faults reviewed here, and located just north of the Chehalis Basin — is one of nearly a dozen faults mapped in the Centralia—Chehalis coal district in And though the faults in this area are not notably seismogenic, the southeast striking faults seem to be en echelon with the Olympia structure fault?
The Doty fault particularly seems to have gained prominence with geologists since it was associated with an aeromagnetic anomaly, [] and a report in credited it capable of a magnitude 6. At Chehalis there is but a single freeway Interstate 5 and a single rail line connecting the Puget Sound region with the rest of the west coast; the only alternate routes are very lengthy. The Doty fault has been mapped from the north side of the Chehalis airport due west to the old logging town of Doty due north of Pe Ell , paralleled most of that distance by its twin, the Salzer Creek Fault , about half a mile to the north.
Both of these are dip-slip vertical faults; the block between them has been popped up by compressive forces. The length of the Doty Fault is problematical: But it does not appear that there have been studies of the deeper structure of these faults, or whether there has been any recent activity. The Doty—Salzer Creek Fault does not fully fit the regional pattern of basins and uplifts bounded by faults described above. It does bound the north side of the Chehalis basin, but the south boundary of the Black Hills Uplift is more properly the southeast striking Scammon Creek Fault that converges with the Doty—Salzer Creek Fault just north of Chehalis.
The SE striking Scammon Creek Fault seems to be terminated by the Salzer Creek Fault the exact relationship is not clear , with the latter continuing east for another seven miles. Yet the former is only the first of at least six more parallel southeast striking faults, which do cross the Salzer Creek Fault. Just past them is the parallel Olympia Structure, which as a geophysical lineament has been traced to a point due east of Chehalis; [] these would seem to be related somehow, but the nature of that relationship is not yet known.
Though these faults have been traced for only a little ways, the southeast striking anticlines they are associated with continue as far as Riffe Lake, near Mossyrock. They are also on-strike with a swarm of faults on the Columbia River, bracketing The Dalles. As all of these are thrust and reverse faults, they probably result from northeast directed regional compression.
What makes the Doty—Salzer Fault and the short Chehalis Fault striking due east from Chehalis stand out from the many other faults south of Tacoma is its east-west strike; the significance of this is not known. See Snavely et al. In particular, to the southeast of Mount St. Yet the SHZ and WRZ may be integral to the regional geology of Puget Sound, possibly revealing some deep and significant facets, and may also present significant seismic hazard. Helens, Adams, and Rainier, with a lobe extending north outlined in yellow, right.
On the eastern side, where the SWCC is believed to be in contact with pre-Tertiary terranes accreted to the North American craton , matters are different. While there is a short zone not shown of fainter seismicity near Goat Rocks an old Pliocene volcano [] that may be associated with the contact, the substantially stronger seismicity of the WRZ is associated with the major Carbon River—Skate Mountain anticline. Of great interest here is that both the northern lobe of the SWCC and the Carbon River anticline are aligned towards Tiger Mountain an uplifted block of the Puget Group of sedimentary and volcanic deposits typical of the Puget Lowland and the adjacent Raging River anticline see map.
Does the SHZ extend north? Though the Olympia Structure a suspected fault runs towards the SHZ, and delineates the northern edge of an exposed section of the Crescent Formation, it appears to be an upper crustal fold, part of a pattern of folding that extends southeast to cross the Columbia River near The Dalles , and unrelated to the mid and lower crustal SHZ.
The implications of this are not only "the possibility of a moderate to large crustal earthquake along the SHZ", but that the tectonics under Puget Sound are more complicated than yet understood, and may involve differences in the regional stress patterns not reflected in current earthquake hazard assessments. Helens and Mount Rainier are located where their associated fault zones make a bend see map, above.
Rainier is offset because the faults are deep and the conduits do not rise quite vertically. These bends are located where they intercept a "subtle geological structure" [] of "possible fundamental importance", [] a NNE striking zone line "A" on the map of various faults including the Tokul Creek Fault NNE of Snoqualmie and early-Miocene about 24 Ma volcanic vents and intrusive bodies plutons and batholiths extending from Portland to Glacier Peak ; [] it also marks the change in regional fault orientation noted above.
This MSH-MR-GP lineament is believed to reflect a "long-lived deep-seated lithospheric flaw that has exerted major control on transfer of magma to the upper crust of southern Washington for approximately the last 25 [million years]"; [] it has been attributed to the geometry of the subducting Juan de Fuca plate. A parallel line "B" about 15 miles 25 kilometers to the west corresponds to the western limit of a zone of seismicity stretching from the WRZ to southwest of Portland.
Curiously, the extension of line "B" north of the OWL is approximately the eastern limit of Puget Sound seismicity, the rest of southwestern Washington and the North Cascades being relatively aseismic see the seismicity map, above. Also intersecting at Mount St. A similar line aligns with the termination of the WRZ, SHZ, and Gales Creek Fault Zone northwest of Portland , with faulting along the upper Nehalem River on the Oregon coast, [] and a topographical contrast at the coast between Neahkahnie Mountain and the lower Nehalem River valley distinct enough to be seen on the seismicity map above due west of Portland.
Other similar lineaments such as from Astoria to Glacier Peak align with various topographical features and changes in fault orientation. These lineaments have been associated with possible zones of faulting in the crust and subducting plate. These features suggest that the southern Puget Lowland is influenced by the deep crust and even the subducting Juan de Fuca plate, but the details and implications are not yet known.
There are numerous other faults or fault zones in the Puget Lowland, and around its edges, sketchily studied and largely unnamed. These are usually fairly short, and not believed to be significantly seismogenic. However, most seismic activity is not associated with any known fault. Ongoing mapping is revealing more faults.

The San Juan Island and Leach River faults crossing the southern end of Vancouver Island are significant and undoubtably connected with the Darrington—Devils Mountain and Southern Whidbey Island faults, and certainly of particular interest to the residents of Victoria, B. But their significance to the Puget Sound area is unknown. The Little River Fault see the QFFDB, Fault is representative of an extensive zone of faults along the north side of the Olympic Peninsula and in the Strait of Juan de Fuca likely connected with the fault systems at the south end of Vancouver Island, see fault database map , but these lie west of the crustal blocks that underlie the Puget Lowland, and again their possible impact on the Puget Sound region is unknown.
One of these faults, the Sequim Fault Zone striking east from the town of Sequim , crosses Discovery Bay and various possible extensions of the Hood Canal Fault and bounds the Port Ludlow Uplift "uplift of unknown origin" on the map ; it appears to extend to the Southern Whidbey Island Fault. An Everett Fault , running east-northeast along the bluffs between Mukilteo and Everett — that is, east of the SWIF and at the southern edge of the Everett Basin — has been claimed, but this does not appear to have been corroborated.
A Lofall Fault has been reported on the basis of marine seismic reflection surveying, [] but has not been confirmed by trenching. This fault seems to be associated with the Kingston arch anticline, and part of the uplift and basin pattern , but shortened because of the geometry of the SWIF. It is not notably seismogenic. The Straight Creek Fault is a major structure in the North Cascades , but has not been active for over 30 million years. A Puget Sound Fault running down the center of Puget Sound and Vashon Island was once proposed, [] but seems to have not been accepted by the geological community.
Study of surface deformation suggests possible unmapped faults near Federal Way, running between Sumner and Steilacoom, and south of Renton. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. The Georgia Basin to the north is structurally related, but topographically demarcated by the Chuckanut Mountains near Bellingham. In the angle between these is located the minor Lincoln Creek uplift, the Doty Hills, and, further west, an impressive chunk of Crescent basalt.
If the pattern is continued to the southwest, along cross-section A-A' in Pratt's figure 11 and missing the mapped trace of the Doty Fault , then the next basin is at Grays Harbor not shown here. This contact is the Coast Range Boundary Fault, discussed below. In some places, such as along the South Fork of the Stillaguamish River between Arlington and Granite Falls, there are also contrasting geological contacts. Additional details in Dragovich et al. Gravity studies Finn , p. The situation at depth is not known.
See GM , p. However, the SWCC is relatively shallow no more than 15 km deep , and likely is draped over pre-Tertiary bedrock. See Stanley et al. This constraint might not apply at depth. See Anderson et al. Curiously, Johnson et al. See also Lamb et al. See figure 1 for overview. See also Brocher et al.
See also Polenz et al. A possible extension of this lineament appears in the Eldon Quadrangle geological map. See Lamb et al. See also Logan et al. Download the map and see the aeromagnetic anomaly. Additional aeromagnetic and gravitational imagery of the Olympia and other structures available on the Summit Lake geological map. More recently it has been suspected that a natural berm across the delta of the Skokomish River may be due to faulting, which could implicate the OS as an active fault. But the researchers are not yet ready to assert that.
Finn , without identifying it, associated the Doty Fault with notable gravity and aeromagnetic anomalies Plates 1 and 2 that extend towards Willapa Bay. Helens "to the southwest". It is more likely that MR, in rising to the surface, has "drifted" off of the underlying lineament. The location and orientation of line "B" as shown here is approximate. North of Hwy 20 it is paralleled by Lake Shannon.
This suggests the quake was actually on the cross-cutting Cherry Valley fault, the northernmost member of the RMFZ, and possibly an extension of the Griffin Creek fault. Instead, most crustal seismicity seems to be occurring on random faults, all responding to the same regional stress. Geological Survey , Open-File Report , 32 p.
