Our reason for coming to Post Falls was to meet up with Brandon and his family to catch a few games of basketball.  Brandon is the head coach for the Orofino Maniacs.   This is the weather we had to drive to from Post Falls to Spirit Lake where the tournament was being held. The two… Continue reading And this is what we came to Post Falls for ~ Basketball!!

When Christopher saw us he was so excited.  He wanted to go swimming and so we were off to the pool.  We only had about 30 minutes that we could swim before heading off to the basketball games.  Christopher, our little fish. And Max, the bigger fish. Do you know how hard it is for… Continue reading Swimming in Post Falls ~ December 2010

We woke to very cold weather but that did not deter us from what we came to Newport to do.  Go to the cemetery where Ron’s Grandpa is buried.  Ron never knew his Grandpa as he died when Pete, Ron’s Dad, died when he was 14 years old. We ate a quick breakfast of apple… Continue reading Newport, WA ~ Monday, December 27, 2010

Where to start?  Woke up late this morning after a pretty rough night.  I started not feeling well yesterday early afternoon.  Took a nap and still felt crummy.  Let Ron do most of the work on the tree lot, trying to rest.  My left eye was really sore and I couldn’t figure out why.  Woke… Continue reading A Thinking Kind of Day
