I’m a patient waiter for pictures taken by others, but not patient enough to wait to include them on a post. Here’s a random collection of recently acquired photos I can’t not share, with an occasional caption. John and Erin got some fun shots of our family time in August. Pete and Linsey (toward the [...]

John’s camera captured a picture of each of the 13 fish the three Macy men caught yesterday on their expedition to Vernonia Lake. It was important to record the success, since each one went back in the lake after posing for his/her picture. Here’s a condensed album of the day: I don’t quite understand the [...]

For Christmas my friend Lisa gave me a flight certificate she earned as a volunteer hot-air balloon chaser. It took her a full summer of volunteering to earn another one so we could go together. And today, despite iffy weather conditions, we got to go up! It’s fascinating to be a quiet observer of such [...]

One of the traditions the Andersons enjoy when they come to visit us here in Oregon’s Willamette Valley is berry picking. It was a first for these two. These two were heading for… What else? Dusty, heading toward more promising bushes, declared this the year of the boysenberry. I see you longing to pick those [...]

I wasn’t sure I would post what we did today. I mean, do you really care to see where we ate breakfast and lunch? And how interesting would it be for you to see picture after picture of us seeing the Alaskan landscape? And do you really want to see yet another picture of us [...]

The second annual Free Box giveaway is going so well, we might be forced out of business before the end of its opening night! And we had another collection of good stuff (obviously). Shoppers are carrying it away before I can get back into the house to sneak a picture through the blinds! One little [...]

Just because my friend Craig commented: “Might just have to find a way to drive through Newberg to give this place a try!” on my Uprooted coupon post a couple of days ago, doesn’t mean I had the first inkling he would actually stop by the office today on his way from Phoenix to Seattle. [...]

Yesterday I blogged about our delightful Fourth of July, calling it a cool ride, which included a delicious lunch at Uprooted food cart. Today we have a cool deal to offer. Take us up on it! We’re quite sure you won’t be disappointed. Kyle is open from 11 a.m. until 9 p.m.

Two days ago, Saturday, after hitting some garage sales, we drove around town looking for the moving hotdog stand for a bite of lunch. We were unsuccessful in that mission but oh so much more successful in finding lunch! There on the corner of 1st and River was a hand-written sign inviting us to Uprooted [...]

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 [...]
