To get my mind off the fact that Oklahoma (last hope in my NCAA bracket) is losing to UNC, I’ll divert my attention to this unposed picture I took yesterday of the stack of recyclables headed out to the bin. It represents a big, and most likely permanent, change in our household.
Because of what appeared [...]

Some friends from Mauri’s handbell choir gave him the perfect Christmas gift: an Aerobie aeropress. It was so perfect, he already had one. But the gifters freed him to exchange it, which he did—for a new wok. It was a little hard to retire the old wok, given the years of good service it provided. The new [...]

So. Do you think our little town of Newberg is proud of its university’s champion Lady Bruins?
We waved our congratulations to the team on this street…
then rode our tandem south one block to wave our congratulations as they passed going the other direction. It was pretty cool.
(Our friend Susan snapped the pic of us as [...]

Even someone like me who isn’t that much into sports got excited when the local George Fox University Lady Bruins basketball team reached 24-0. So much so that Mauri and I actually showed up at game #25, though fearful we might jinx their winning run. And today—today we were glued to the TV as we [...]

I just returned from spending the weekend at Twin Rocks Friends Camp with nearly forty women from my church. I focused too much time on enjoying myself and not enough time on taking pictures. But oh well. Here are a few I did take.
The smiles on my friends represent the leading score of the George [...]

Yesterday I found this. Whoa!
Since you’ve stopped by, I have one more link to share. Please come back if you don’t have 2+ minutes right now to watch the whole thing. I know it’s March but I figure it’s okay to think about the Jesus coming to earth as a babe in months other than [...]

The last time Mauri went shooting birds (with his camera) he quickly downloaded this shot into his computer …
…to try to identify that bird camouflaged in the grass to the right of the post.
I’m glad he didn’t wait around to see it in flight!
Here’s a real bird, shot through the window to our backyard.
A hummingbird!

Mauri tells about a church that is committed to blended worship, which they define as a morning when they sing at least one song that isn’t written by Chris Tomlin. We’ve just returned from a Chris Tomlin concert, thanks to friends who couldn’t use their tickets. Chris’s openers were Israel Houghton and New Breed. I [...]

A couple of weeks ago I was in Denver killing some time with my camera and posted that little video of the Andersons’ dog, Duke. Remember? Tonight Dusty sent a pic of Duke mid shearing.
