We took the girls to the Oregon vs Sacramento State game at the Matthew Knight Arena. After the game the girls were able to meet some of the players and get autographs. An NCAA record for combined threes attempted and made occurred in a high scorning game won by the Hornets.

I thought I'd start trying to post a new photo every day I can so here is day 1. I took this one on my lunch break on a nice, warm October day in Portland's Old Town/Chinatown neighborhood. This is the famous Hung Far Low sign which had been outside of Ping which has recently shutdown. I've heard rumors that Lardo is moving in to the space. Hopefully the sign stays.

Maui 2013


Who's That Bird?
Originally uploaded by pete4ducks.
Back from another great week in Maui. We took it relatively easy since we've done all the tourist stuff on the island save the drive to Hana. Not the greatest of weather but in Hawaii well wait 5 minutes and it will probably change. We stayed in a lovely two bedroom condo on the ground floor of the Hololani in Kahana. We spent most of our time swimming in the pool, relaxing on the lanai watching for whales and turtles and searching the grounds for new birds for our "Big Year". Maui is starting to feel like home for us. The plan for our next trip is to go the Big Island but we will be back to Maui again soon I am sure.

Ruby!


Ruby! by BeFunky.com

I should really post more here but sometimes life just gets so crazy and you just lose track of time. This is our newest addition to the family, a spirited and cuddly little pup named Ruby. We adopted her in November and believe that she is likely a Red Mini Pinscher with perhaps a bit of Chihuahua in her. Ruby is a high energy dog who goes and goes and goes then crashes. She loves to snuggle and if she isn't running at full speed is likely sleeping or about to fall asleep.
