Week in Review — WW25’10
Day by Day Sunday. What an awesome day! We had an open house for Melissa and a couple of her classmates to celebrate their graduations.

Guy Kawasaki’s Advice: Live With Mom and Dad
Ashley and Heather informed us they are planning to live at home after college to pay off student loans and save some money. It brought to mind Guy Kawasaki’s famous commencement speech: #10: Live off your parents as long as possible. I was a diligent Oriental in high school and college. I took college-level classes [...]

Our Anniversary Celebration

Family Fun at the Corn Maze
View Larger Map We enjoyed our last weekend before Ashley and Heather head off to college by going to Sauvie Island and attempting the corn maze. Looking at the overhead photo, it shouldn’t have been very hard. Ha! Actually, looking at the picture (below, the Google Map above currently shows a prior year’s maze) a [...]
First Day of School
Once again, the first day of school is upon us. Time for the ritualistic “first day of school picture” taken on the front lawn before the the Japanese maple tree. And the ritualistic posting of it here. :-)
Mt. Rainier Camping Trip
View Mr. Rainier Camping Trip in a larger map This last weekend, we took a brief family camping vacation to Mt. Rainier. This is the first we’ve been to Mt. Rainier National Park even though we’ve lived in the Great Northwet (yup) since ’87. We’re already planning our next trip to the mountain. In fact, [...]
