Kerria japonica

I forgot to mention in the garden tour one special plant that is blooming right now. This plant involves my entire family with the exception of my brother Derek. It has a long history and it doesn’t look like much …

After getting back from the rodeo on Saturday we started planning what we were going to do to entertain Derek and Lauren on Sunday. We suggested Fern Canyon, but Derek said Lauren liked long hikes, and after our snowshoe trip …

Wallpaper Border

Knowlesville Posted on August 28, 2008 by MattJune 17, 2019
Wallpaper border in my office

Lori’s hearing problem has caused many changes in our household, and we’ve figured out ways to work around most of the problems that it causes. Hanging wallpaper isn’t one of them. It’s very hard to do sign language when both …

Can You Hear Me Now?

Knowlesville Posted on March 21, 2008 by MattJune 13, 2019
Hearing Aid

As part of the process of getting cochlear implants, Lori needed to get hearing aids to try out. I guess the insurance companies insist on trying the $3000 solution before going for the $40-60k solution. So today we met with …

Birthday Card

It’s very convenient having your wife’s birthday the same as your mother’s. Makes it easy to remember. Of course if you forget, you’re doubly screwed. Mom’s card finally got in the mail today after making a trip to San Simeon …

Warning

Knowlesville Posted on June 24, 2007 by MattJune 7, 2019
Cats and earthquakes

There is speculation that pets can provide warning about earthquakes. Not true. If that were the case, Lori, would have been able to go change into some clothes that would have provided more protection. As it was she was wearing …

Pyro Mom

Knowlesville Posted on May 21, 2007 by MattJune 7, 2019
Mom leaving her mark

Since we didn’t really get to visit with Grandma much during the party, the highlight had to be Mom’s indoor pyrotechnic display. This one definitely left an impression.

Today we continued our drive down the Oregon coast. It rained most of the day so it wasn’t too conducive to taking pictures. Towards the end of the day we passed Prehistoric Gardens. Lori was surprised to see it still …

Thanksgiving was spent in Woodinville, at the Hoopers. My camera’s batteries were charging while everyone was enjoying a scrumptious feast, and since I knew others were taking photos too I didn’t worry about it. So this isn’t what I’d call …
