One of the things we love the very most about being here in western Oregon is our proximity to the beach. A quick hop over the coast range and we can enjoy the sand and surf. So every summer we have to make at least one trip to the beach. This week it was camping… Continue reading This Ain’t the Hilton!
Spring has a way of inviting us to take stock of what we have, who we are, and who we want to be, doesn’t it? Yesterday the winter rain had let up a bit and I could finally get outside and do a little work in the yard. I love my flowers and I really… Continue reading Spring Clean

One week… Last week, Friday, March 18, 20011, my beautiful daughter Kimber married her best friend, Raymond, at noon. The last of our family has left.

During the dark days of winter it is common to walk by the… Continue reading Dancing with Daffodils

I can’t say that I was too impressed with the attitudes and behavior of the audience around me. Admittedly,… Continue reading Losing Sportsmenship
It’s taken me a few days to process what I truly want to say. I sure hope it comes out the way I intend. This past weekend I spent some time helping a dear friend through the dark night of the soul. It is difficult to see people you love go through dark days and… Continue reading Paint the Light
One thing I’ve learned about parenting is… the teen-years are hard! I miss the sleepless nights of toddlers. Sleepless nights of teens is harder than I expected. When my children were young I used to discard all the stories that circulated about how the teen years would be the crisis time in my child rearing… Continue reading This Is No Picnic in the Park
Yesterday, Mother Nature decided to fill the backyard up with all that winter wonderfulness that kids dream of... well at least for a few hours in the morning. Our usual winter weather is rain. Snowflakes are a welcome change. Snowflakes also bring a new vibe to the house… especially the 7 year old. She was… Continue reading Snow Day
Every waking minute of every day we are bombarded with mixed messages about what to eat and what not to eat. It is hard to wade through the myriad of “knowledge” that can be found in the big wide world. Fast food, comfort/reward food, snack food, convenience food, fad diet plans with their very own… Continue reading Turning the Food Pyramid Upside Down
