With what has seemed like a never ending rain storm (it rained ALL week) this morning there was a small window of what promised to be clear. Not sunny but at least no rain. We liked that! My brother was visiting and offered to give Kirk and I some “us” time. It is always so [...]

I was going through a pile of older photos – pre-digital camera days – and came across a couple older photos that Kirk scanned in (thanks!). As much as I wax on about my love for the Bob Revolution jogger stroller, back in the dark ages choices were pretty limited. I bought Ford his first [...]

Kirk and I were out running errands last night and ended up in the local Fred Meyers (a NW chain that is always fun to shop). We were going down the sporting goods aisles and came across a display of tiny sleeping bags – they were minis of the big ones they sell, so that [...]
