And yet another reason (or two) why…

The other evening Nolemana and I were driving home from town along Tillstrom Road, which is probably our most frequently travelled road. That’s the road we take to get to Portland, to Clackamas, to church, and most everywhere else heading makai. I much prefer this road to highways, because it winds through the hilly forested areas around where we live and is semi-rural, similar to where we live. Continue reading

Another Reason Why…

I like living in a semi-rural area. The other afternoon Nolemana and I were on our way somewhere, and we saw something that just gave me the biggest smile! I couldn’t pull over right away, but when I could, I let another car pass, then backed up so that I could take some photos. Why?

Happy news for the day

I’m trying to unpack, catch up on work and get used to the time change. However, I would like to gleefully report that males in Montana and Idaho thankfully DO NOT wear their jeans down to below their butts. What a relief! They looked so normal! Not once did I see some guy’s boxers as he leaned over or watch anyone trying to run while trying to hold their jeans up with their knees. What a relief.

No pants on the ground for a whole 10 days! Bliss! Then today at the gas station, there they were again. The attendant’s belt was down below his butt. Take me back to Montana. Please!
