My friend Jo was my friend Jo long before I started working at Newberg Friends Church, where she has served as a pastor (most recently in women’s ministries) for 12 years. I was part of her small group for several years. I snapped this picture at one of our meetings. More than that, only one [...]

Last October our friends Mark and Jan Thompson invited us to attend Coffee Fest up in Seattle. We looked at sexy roasters like this one: Since then, Mark and Jan have purchased their own roaster. Needing a properly zoned place to do business created a challenge. But today we visited their shop in Dundee and [...]

Mauri and I were out enjoying the beautiful Saturday weather (translation: shopping garage sales) when John called to say Sage would welcome a visit. U-turn!

UPDATE: Cousin Leane sent this link in response to my post. This isn’t the first time one of my links turned [...]

Our friend Gary Fawver sent me this result of his expert camera work—in his own backyard. Astonishing! He gave his permission to share it. I enjoyed uploading a picture of a flicker to my flickr account. I don’t get to do that every day.

Just before we left for Philadelphia, I saw this post on one of the blogs I follow. Perfect timing! When we weren’t out doing something fun, I was inside having fun photographing Oscar’s toys. Once I had enough combinations, I started putting the book together—two up on 8.5×11, leaving a little extra room on the [...]
