David Wiley

Dave was a family friend of us for a long time. He died Saturday flying his seaplane, a wing broke off and the plane crashed in the river. Dave and Jody (his wife) where living in Portland, OR. the way it looks now is that I will be going to the funeral. It is so sad I guess this is life so I am writing about it on our blog. I have not been in Portland for a long time and have not seen Jody for some years. It is so sad that this has to bring me back to a place that I love so much. A place with such wonderful people and a great city.

Our Little patio....

I love to hang out on our patio en take care of my flowers. I think I am almost obsessed with them I become sad when they don't do very well. Todd makes fun of me... I Still have to water them I guess I'll go ahead with that now...

Ship Friends...

Lani and Me.... Follow up on our weekend in North Carolina. It was so good to see our friends again. I had not seen most of them for more then a year. But it was so good to spend time and have fun. And it makes me want to make more trips to see our friends. So I hope to blog more about my trips...... We got our flight tickets to go home for Christmas today so that is step one. We will be in the Netherlands for 2 weeks.

Me and My MAN.....

We had the most awesome weekend in a long time. I don't know where to start but I am starting with the wedding from Tony & Niki. And later this week I will talk about the rest. The wedding was BEAUTIFUL ..... It was great to be there. Todd was in the wedding and I got to spend a lot of time with Lani and Tarme (friends from the ship), We got to see about 15 friend from the ship That was so cool.

Going to a Wedding...

It is Summer....Wedding time. This weekend we are going to North Carolina to a wedding from Tony & Niki. I took 2 day's off from work because we will be going for 3 nights. A long weekend spending time with Todd and a lot of close friends from the ship. I cant wait to make a lot of pictures and share them with you. O Sienna I get to see Tarme.....(she was our cabin mate).

This picture is from friends at home we got to go to there wedding when we where at home.

Bikes.....

Our life at home is all about the bike (for a lot of people at least)....it seems to me now. Sins I can't bike here without getting killed. Not that I biked a lot at home, I did not really like it. But now I would love to jump on a bike and go to the store. Good news we are starting to look at a house just for us in a great area in town. We can bike there without getting killed and jump on a bike and go to the store. I will let you know if I still feel like biking at that time.....or is it just something that makes me feel more at home.

Have you ever...???

Seen a Cat eat CORN OF THE COP??? No butter on it just plain corn. Well this will be your first time. Bear loves sweet corn it is so funny. This is her new thing.... I guess I talk like a mam about her baby, Sorry! Just want you to see this.....
