1. When Aunt Jessica was little, her parents got her to eat cauliflower by telling her they were CareBear Clouds. So each time she ate a cloud, a CareBear lost its home and fell to it’s death. So sad.
2. While visiting Maggie’s great-grandparents in the nursing home, Jason and his two […]

We are on the downslope of our trip back east. It has been a very long 10 days thus far. We drove well over 1000 miles (which cost about $160 in gas, in case you’re wondering); slept in 3 different hotels (including tonight) and 3 different homes of family/friends; eaten exactly 1 home-cooked meal (not […]

I made it back this afternoon! Jason and Maggie were waiting for me at the airport. When Maggie saw who I was she walked right up to me and gave me a big hug! We all got a bite to eat at Chili’s, drove home, and Jason passed out on the couch within seconds. It […]

I can’t say precisely why but I have become resolved over the last few years to not being ashamed to admit when I lack strength or ability. Well, the last 5 days have been ones wrought with displays of my personal weaknesses. As you know, Erin has been on a business trip in Oklahoma, leaving […]

Erin leaves tomorrow morning for a three day snowmobiling trip in Yellowstone National Park. I have been wanting her to get out and do something by herself for a long time; she finally listened to me. Hopefully, it is the first of many such adventures.
Word has reached me that some are more than a little […]

Hey all - My parents went to Napa Valley and San Francisco in October (for the 2nd or 3rd time???). Mom finally sent pictures. I have posted some of the good ones in our photo section of the website. Ahh…California…so close but so far away! Hopefully Jason, Maggie and I will get there soon!

Maggie and I just got back from a two week trip to Florida. The flights to Florida were absolutely horrible. From Idaho to Denver Maggie and I had the window seat. The woman setting next to us (middle seat) was probably close to 400lbs. As if that wasn’t bad enough, Maggie decided to […]

Erin, as I think I have mentioned before, loves the band Live. Yes, they’ve had #1 hits and have sold 20 million records worldwide but I don’t really get into them. Alas, this will be the third time she has dragged me to one of their concerts. This one is in Ketchum, ID, which is […]

It’s been a very full weekend for me–full of Maggie. As you know if you’ve been following along, I spent the weekend of 9 & 10 June at Andrus WMA repairing fence so that cattle and big game could co-exist. Start counting–that’s 2 whole days with me not at home, leaving Erin to care […]

*”Six-Year Drought” by James McMurtry. This guy is very quickly becoming my new favorite singer-songwriter. His voice, lyrics, everything–he is just awesome. If you have any leaning towards roots rock, take a listen.Â
As Erin mentioned, I spent the weekend traveling to and working at the Andrus Wildlife Management Area near Cambridge, ID. It was part […]
