I have never learned how to parallel park. Sad story I know. But it’s true. I am sure if I practiced I would figure it out, but it is rather hard to teach an old dog new tricks. And why bother? If I come to a place where I need to parallel park I just … Continue reading »

Aliesha has District Tournaments next week. Hurray! As I reported before, High School teams are not allowed to use golf carts or even wheeled golf bag carriers. They are required to lug their bags on their backs like neanderthals. It is a bad situation for her because her back has really been bothering her, to … Continue reading »
To really understand my title you must have some background on the area where I live now. Cave Junction, Oregon is a very small burg that boasts a population of about 2000 people. I’m not sure because we don’t have one of those informational signs when you enter the “city limits” that tells you the … Continue reading »
One of the reasons I love to travel is to experience different cultures. Believe it or not…not everyone lives the Western mentality. And not everyone eats at McDonald’s. Well…almost not everyone. Not every 7-11 store gets their deliveries by a semi truck, unloading cardboard boxes onto the shelves. Some receive their stock via a tuk-tuk … Continue reading »
Aliesha joined the high school golf team this year. This is big because she always talks about joining groups and clubs but never seems to follow through. She has never golfed before, so it’s also big that she made varsity. She has a natural golfing talent. There are many avid golfers in the family, maybe … Continue reading »
Poison Oak and I go way back. I remember as a young Girl Scout ( in Southern California no less) learning that plants with leaves of three, leave them be! In the city we didn’t have to worry. Plants with toxins had pretty much been eradicated, even way back in the 60′s. But dear sister … Continue reading »
What did I do on the special day set aside to make the planet greener? Actually I helped my Dad burn up a huge pile of brush. Today wasn’t really the day I almost burned down the forest…that was last week. Let me start at the beginning. In Oregon people cut down trees for firewood … Continue reading »
This weeks photo challenge made me realize I like to look up through the trees (or cactus) and take pictures. Never really thought about it before. Strange. I have a contrast here of Arizona and Oregon. Enjoy.
Life in the big city has its share of frustrations. Driving around in our own little personal rockets with 5 million other people driving their own little personal rockets is one of the most stressful daily events of city life. Phoenix is the craziest place I have ever lived and drove. Phoenicians say it isn’t … Continue reading »
I call it the “Building Inside the Building Mural”. The Historic Hotel Josephine is located at 6th & E Streets in Grants Pass, Oregon. The 23 room hotel opened for business way back in November 1893. Apparently it was the first hotel in Grants Pass to offer its guests the convenience of electricity. The mural … Continue reading »
