Stuff from my home and travels 

Little Bird Friend

This little sparrow decided to dine out at "Rose's Cafe". He doesn't seem to mind my presence here.

My Compound

I found these trellis at Big Lots. I got 10 of them to put up on the deck rails. I want to get some ivy growing on them to make the deck a bit more private yet still open. I think the feel will be a bit like a compound around a house in the Philippines and that will remind me of Rose. After all, the deck is "Rose's Cafe"!

Aliah Came to Visit!

Aligh came to visit us at Raya this weekend.  She is growing so fast, and has become a beautiful girl.  I know she'll bring joy to us as time goes by.

Floating the North Umpqua River

Erin and I floated the North Umpqua River yesterday.  The water was a bit high, and that made the rapids a rolling roller coaster.  We had lunch on the river, then dinner at the Rodeo Grill.

David's Graduation

David graduated from the Generational Internship program at Garden Valley Christian Assembly today! He will be the co-coordinator of the Wednesday night services there, and has been accepted as a second-year intern in the fall. His job at Sherm's is working out well, also. David will be moving back into our apartment this week, and I'll be so happy to have him back!

My "New" Volvo

After a lot of deliberation, I decided to once again become a car owner. There are some things you just need a car to do, but I still plan to bike whenever possible.

After looking at several clunkers on Craig's List, I came across this gem that actually fit my budget of under $500. It's a 1987 Volvo 740 GLE. Excellent condition throughout. Silver. Everything works. Looks like a tank, rides like a cloud.

Our Little Princess

Our Little Princess is three years old. She's cute, bright and smart as a whip. She gets on Skype and talks to "grandpa". She speaks Tagalog and I speak English...and we understand each other just fine. Everything is new and fresh and fun to her. She brings sparkle into our lives.
