Ever heard of the ApologetiX? They’re a Christian parody band that’s hitting the stage at Newberg Christian Church May 9th at 7 PM. Fun for all ages as they say on the website, “Parents, bring your kids. Kids, bring your parents.” A bunch of us from Wapato Valley Church will be there and I’d love […]

A Worthless Post of Dental Humor
I had to dig my old Letterman’s sweater out of a high school box and came across a few memories. You’ll see why I needed the sweater in another post, but I found a thank you letter I wrote in ’92 or ’93. There’s been some discussion on my facebook status concerning my humor. I […]
A Fantastic Friday the 13th
Let’s just preface this by saying I give no credence to luck whatsoever. (Though I’m not sure how to explain when the cards in a game of chance completely favor a certain player.) But there are people out there who have a problem with Friday falling on the 13th of the month. I’m posting about […]
Random Observation
Putting a two-year old in corduroy pants is like putting a tinkly bell on a kitty cat. You always know where they are!
Wanted: Super Powers … A Nine-year Old’s List
In honor of my daughter’s 10th birthday–HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ANDREA!–she’s allowing me to post a list of super powers I found behind her bed when I was changing the sheets. I convinced her that so few people read my blogs she didn’t need to be embarrassed to share it. 1. Freeze time2. Read minds3. Put bad […]
All I Wanted for Christmas Was Electricity!
Yes, during the snow storm, we lost power. Christmas Eve morning, we lazed around in our pajamas, taking our near-future showers for granted. Then the Christmas lights on the tree when out and all the electric hums of the house disappeared. Turned out a tree limb on our neighbors’ property couldn’t bear the weight of […]
ACFW Extra
I’m so behind in what I want to blog, it’s a little overwhelming. Suffice it to say we were without power for a few days–which is a story for the next blog. However, since it’s been so long since I posted, I wanted to share an idea I sent out over the ACFW loop. They […]
Snow Days/Snow Daze
I thought I’d take a short break from the sales series to share a pictures of how the weather is effecting us in Gaston, Oregon. These first two are from a few days ago when we thought we had a lot of snow. Poor Kevin had to park at the bottom of our LONG, STEEP […]
The Great Pumpkin Brought Us Presents!
I had a new friend over for lunch Nov. 30. After we took the dogs for a walk in the forest, we noticed Jazzy didn’t feel very well. As in her main food of choice, after skipping breakfast, was grass. Though her breeding this year had been successful, she wasn’t due for another week. Good […]
Pumpkin Hunting on Roloff Farms!
On a rainy afternoon in early October, I convinced the family we needed to get our pumpkins from Roloff Farms this year. For anyone familiar with the TLC show Little People, Big World, don’t be hatin’ us for living only half an hour from the farm. See how wet it is? This is one of […]
