Yesterday we shot a senior portrait at his grandparent’s ranch, and on the way back we stopped to take some pictures of cutest bunch of little lambs and their mothers.
This evening we hosted the Splinter Group, which is the Ferndale/Eureka old house group. We had them over at the shop to show them the restoration that we did, and Greg gave them a talk about old pictures. During the …
One more picture from this weekend’s motorcycle ride. Sorry, there weren’t any women around to have them standing out in middle of it. This shot is looking east.
Back to our front yard. While I had Rich and his tractor here, I had him pull out the two holly bushes that were in the front. We still need to do a bunch of clean up and regrading in …
Due to the rain and vacation, I hadn’t had any of the bikes out for over a month, so with the sun out, I decided to get some riding time in. I took the KLR out and explored Dyerville Loop …
This new feature of our yard is either: A copy of San Jose’s Quezacoatl statue. The result of having visions of aliens landing near some strange mountain. Half the recipe of a female mud wresting tournament. A brand new volcano. …
The Eureka area is full of artists, and one way it is celebrated is with the monthly Arts Alive! program, where merchants display various artist’s works the first Saturday of each month. I had my first ever show of my …

Today we mostly just sat on the beach or by the pool and enjoyed the wonderful 80 degree weather. So here’s a picture of one of the humpback whales that we saw the day before yesterday.
Almost every day we found some time to go boogie boarding. Two days we had really big waves, and even though most of us got beat up in one way or the other (is your toe really supposed to be …
For Lori’s birthday, we sailed on a Pirate ship, saw whales, ate several great meals, snorkeled, sat on a beach, and were entertained by a very funny crew. Doesn’t get much better than that. The Marigalante is a replica of …
Four years ago on our first trip to Puerto Vallarta, John and I had great fun at the Super Go-Kart track, so we had to pay a return visit. This time we convinced Lori and Carol to try them, and …
Our favorite night pasttime was to sit out on the balcony of one of our rooms and play pinochle. It really made me realize how much I miss those warm San Jose nights when you can sit out side in …
Lori’s favorite big cat is the tiger and she’s always wanted to pet one. Samantha, a member of the zoo at Paradise Village, is a small version, being only a few months old, but Lori enjoyed her daily pets while …
We awoke at this morning to see something unusual, the sun. I liked the way it lit up the bark of these trees. Since John had to work, Carol and Lori went shopping at the mall, I went to Keeble …
