On our trip...

So far, we've had a wonderful trip. The first leg of the journey was a New Years Eve party at my 3rd son's and wife's house. There were a lot of his friends over who I knew. The highlights of the evening were the chocolate fountain, visiting and at midnight about 5 or 6 brave ones jumped in the unheated pool. It was about 20 or 25 degrees out, so that really was brave! But, in my son's new apartment, they have a dry-sauna, so everyone warmed up fast. Next, we drove to the coast and visited some... Sign in to see full entry.

Getting ready for our trip and work

It's countdown to Mexico! We are leaving for the valley (still in Oregon) on December 31st in the morning. Today I wasted some time trying to figure out my "Lightroom"program. I bought the old edition, because I got it for 1/4 of the price. It's used to edit and organize photos. It seems pretty good, but some things aren't explained well in the little book that came with it. The main thing I need to figure out is how to edit and not destroy the originals... important. I have been packing and... Sign in to see full entry.

Peaceful day

This morning we had a nice breakfast of pancakes, sausage and eggs. Our neighbor, Frank, came over also. My daughters have been making cookies today and in a little bit are going to go to a few families and give them out along with oranges. I am starting to stress out about the trip, because I am from the land of "perfect" and I want everything to be perfect before I leave. But, I need to realize that it doesn't have to be. Departure date is December 31st, early. We will be visiting Greg's dad... Sign in to see full entry.

Work and getting ready for our trip to Mexico

2 of our Sons and their wives left already. I am very glad they took the time to make the trip to see us. I am going to miss my sweet little 5 month old grandson. He is so adorable! We hit it off from the start! 2 single adult sons are still here and our adult daughter. I'm glad they can stay a little longer. I will be taking them back home on our way to Mexico, the end of December. Today I got up at 5:30 and drove 1/2 hour to my first job. My 24 year old daughter came with me, so we could visit...

Rotation Stories

I only have a few minutes to write. Last night our WHOLE family got together at the community room for the apartments he lives at. It was amazing! There were also 2 extra, one is a student at the school my 18 year old is attending. The other young man we've known for about 10 years and he's almost like family. After eating pizza, taking photos and visiting the big event of the night was "rotation story." It's a game our kids invented when they were quite young. Everyone takes a piece of blank...

About this Blog

I plan on writing about past and present life experiences and what I have learned from them. I also want to tell stories of things in my past, some humourus, some serious and some trivial. I have done some traveling and want to describe those places and people accurately, maybe in some cases changing names if I see it could embarrass someone. I will write out of my heart and hopefully give hope to some of my readers. I do not have all the answers, but have lived long enough to know there are many trials in life and obstacles. I want to examine life, it's simplicities and complexities and share my observation and at times opinions with others.
