Jenn rides da fish

We discovered this great park in Estacada this summer. We went there every day when we were camping alone. I took some great pics there. So did Jenn. I'll share more later.

Ruffing it

This is another picture of CampPupp 2008. This is Jenn and Tank sleeping in the RV late into the morning. I know from experience that Jenn can yawn as big as Tank is right now, I just didn't catch it on the camera. The little RV has a queen sized bed in the cab. It's very comfortable. I love the little RV for several reasons. I love that no matter how owie I get from hiking, swimming, fishing, etc. - that I can sleep in a comfortable bed. Also, I don't have to hike up the hill if I have to pee in the middle of the night. It's also very nice when it rains heavily for a long time. It's great for camping in the winter in the Pacific North West. I'll post a pic of it later on.

Roughing It

This is Jenn and Jett roughing it during family camp 08. This is them sleeping in the rv late into the morning.

Penguin Nation

Jenn has been attending Clark Community College this past year and a half (or so). Their mascot is the Penguin - Oswald the Penguin. Here is a picture of my mom and Jenn with some penguins at the Oregon Zoo. Ok, so they are not real penguins, but my loved ones are just so darn cute with these guys. The zoo is a fav place for us. I love our membership. Anyone who has been to the zoo knows that the penguins are cute but they have a smelly problem.

Jenn at the DMZ

Well, here in the states we have the DMV - a nasty place full of ill tempered individuals who want something and they want it now, trying it get it from over worked individuals who just want it to be 5 o'clock. In Korea, they have the DMZ - the De Militized Zone. I'm prolly spelling it wrong and I'm prolly explaining it wrong. If we're lucky, Jenn will read this blog and explain it further in the comment section. The DMZ is the place were the peace talks took place at the border of North and South Korea. There is a building, and a table with a line down the center. There is always, still, a guard standing there. This is Jenn and the North Korean guard. The tour guide warned them, "Don't touch him, because he WILL touch you back." There will be more pictures of the DMZ in my blog as Jenn brought tons of pics home and they look great. I have a ball cap from the DMZ that Jenn brought home. We also have two very BIG Korean drums that now live at our house.

Korean Drag Queen

Yesterday was Vancouver Pride. We spent the day at the park. It was hot. We came home dog tired. This is a picture of Jenn in Korea. She went several weeks ago. This guy really isn't a drag queen, he's just a performer. I'm currently reading Brother Odd by Dean Koontz. Jenn bought me the next book in the series Odd Hours. The first two are Odd Thomas and Forever Odd. I really love Dean Koontz. And Trixie Koontz (his dog) is a good little author as well. She wrote a cute little book called Christmas is Good. I can't stand to read Stephen King. He bores me quickly. I love his movies though. And I used to read John Saul, but I stopped following him because he likes to just kill everyone at the end of the book. But, if one of his books showed up at my house and I hadn't read it yet, I'd read it. I love to read. I've read many, many books in my life. I just don't have the time these days. When I go camping next month, I hope to take a book with. The challenge will be to find the time to read when I have the nephews with me.

Jenn eats bear for breakfast

Jenn eats bear for breakfast. Bear Claws that is. Ha. More bear pictures. This is the same Leavenworth Bear on the day after Thanksgiving. Leavenworth is a Bavarian Villiage in northern Washington state. It was a lot of fun. We had the day to explore the town and I'm sorry to say that we never got off the first street! I tried mullied wine for the first time. YUMMO. Here's Leavenworth's web site: http://www.leavenworth.org/modules/pages/index.php?pageid=1

Jenn home

Jenn is home again from Korea. She brought home two gigantic hugenormous Korean drums. This is a pic of Jett and her mom, Jenn, with a truck load of donations for the homeless shelter. Please note that is MY hat on Jenn's head.

Garden Girls

These are my three girls working in the garden several years ago. The dogs have helped this year as well but these pictures were cuter! They both love to carry the watering can. Tank loves to steal Jenn's tools when she isn't looking. And Jett loves to lay in the dirt next to the mom and soak in the sun.

Hot Korea Mama

So, my honey is in Korea this week with the music department from Clark College. This is a picture of her and Tank. The dogs and I are bachelors this week.
