Sunset from Our Front Door


Most of the time these days I take the mountain view from our front door for granted. But yesterday evening it caught my attention.

8 Years Ago: Spring at Our new house

This is the first spring at our new house on April 10, 2016. We had just moved in back in November, 2015. This is the inaugral of our new gas grill, and a little over three months before my cardiac surgery.

Spring at Our House

We're finally seeing some signs of spring!

Early Spring at Our House

Gray clouds are grudglingly giving way to spring at our house, and it can't come too quickly to suit me. I'm ready for sunny weather!

Rose in Her Natural Environment!

Rose is really a frugal and efficient shopper! She can make $10 look like a million! These pictures are at Woodburn Outlet Mall a few years ago.

What’s for Dinner?

What’s for Dinner? A stir fry Rose made with shrimp, mushrooms and tofu.

A Debut for Malia

We have known this young lady since she was born, and her parents long before that. It has been a joy to watch her grow up! So I felt that I really needed to document her special milestone but that proved to be challenging, since the venue was so full! Fortunately, our friend Rina Sanchez was able to get video of some more important parts of the program, which she generously shared with us. With some creative editing, I hope we have produced something of reasonably good quality. (NOTE: I have replaced the original music due to copyright issues.)
