Archive by tag '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 [...]

Week In Review — WW24’10
Sunday. This week started in the wee hours of Sunday morning. Dave and Rachel volunteered to help us move Ashley’s and Heather’s stuff home from college. So, a little before 6 AM, I rang their doorbell, ready for the drive to Walla Walla. Better yet, I was ready for the ride to Walla Walla, because [...]
All Moved In
Ashley and Heather are all moved in and ready for classes to start on Monday. Another year, another fresh start. We wish them both a successful year.
Off to Walla Walla

We loaded the rental truck, drove to Walla Walla with Ashley, ran the gauntlet of financial clearance and village life, unloaded the truck, and set up some furniture.

Ashley and Heather go to college later this month, Ashley returning and Heather starting. In honor of the occasion, we take pictures and post [...]
Weekend in Mendocino

We had a wonderful time meeting new people, getting up to date with family and “old” friends, and touring the countryside. Once again, Heather celebrated her birthday away from home. Happy birthday, Heather! By the way, driving from Mendocino to Portland is [...]
Congratulations, Heather!
Heather graduated from high school last night. Congratulations, Heather. We’re so proud of you!
It’s a Good Friday, Everyone!
It’s going to be a good day today! Heather graduates from high school tonight. Because the school board chairman is on a business trip, I get to read the seniors’ names. They’re all pronounceable. I wish I could have made graduation practice this morning, but sometimes work gets in the way. At Starbucks this morning, [...]
