Mauri has enjoyed taking his digital SLR camera to the wildlife reserve in Sherwood, a neighboring town, to shoot birds for his growing collection. Herons, especially. He’s enjoyed watching the development of the reserve, with the addition of walkways and observation benches. Last week, as we drove past on our way in from the airport, [...]

Earlier this week I had a parking-lot conversation with Pete Snow, whose wife had died two weeks earlier. Somehow we got to talking about cremation. I listened to his opinions and stories on the topic and then, to illustrate my related opinions, I asked his permission to tell one of my two stories. I told [...]

All day long is somebody’s birthday!

Returning to my life after the fun of spending time with my “kids” always affirms the balance we maintain between the two. I love coming home to my dear man. I mean, what could be more fun than standing at the airport arrival level, watching for a “purple” van, and seeing this? The first day [...]

Two tanned vacationers loved their time away but were ready to see their youngest, who was equally happy to see them. Here’s the evidence: As timing would have it, Quinn and I got to attend another Beth Moore conference in downtown Denver today.

I told Taylor he’d just have to put up with the silly grin on my face. It’s downright impossible to contain my happiness at seeing him in his work environment. I’ve never sugar-coated the fact that it took a hefty amount of emotional energy to raise him (beginning at infancy!), and it didn’t always seem [...]

Cass and I spent the day at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo in Colorado Springs. As we climbed in the car at the end of our all-day adventure, the heavens opened in typical Colorado afternoon fashion. Life is good.

I had a two-day turnaround, both at home and at the office, and a taste of normalcy with my dear man. Now I’m in Denver for a week and a half to be Gus to the Anderson kiddos while Quinn and Dusty bask in the rays of San Jose Del Cabo (Mexico) sunshine. They can [...]

Home again, home again, jiggidy jig. I ended up on two planes full of Oregon Ducks fans, easily identified by their green and yellow attire and broadly grinning faces. I’ll share my travels story in my usual manner—mostly with pictures, They demonstrate the best part of my former life in Michigan, the people I came [...]

I’m sitting in a Panera Bread (free wifi!) near Detroit with only a few minutes to post before I need to head down the road to return my YOW (Yellow Or What?) rental car to Alamo and hop on my return flight to Portland via Houston, Texas. Continental Airlines offered a too-good-to-pass-up fare that required [...]
