Over the past weekend we happen to see the usual orange cat wandering through our backyard but this time she wasn’t alone. She had a litter of three kittens! Over the course of the weekend two of the kittens disappeared and the mom was just with one of the little orange guys. Then the mom was […]

It’s really too bad that any of these are funny or ring true. Ronald Reagan would be shaking his head and truly disappointed to see what his party, and the nation, has become. “Modern” day politics is a poor example of the greatness of the United States of America.

For the last two days in a row I’ve been lucky enough to watch tine International Space Station pass overhead. I don’t tire of thinking about those brave explorers living out in space, far from others and far from help should things go wrong. They are just amazing, amazing people. And maybe a little crazy too? 😮 […]

Came across an old page I’d set up a few years back when I was selling 180 acres of land in the Sierra Foothills. Well, it is for sale again and so thought I’d point folks to the original page. This also is a good way for me […]

Today Gin randomly happens to ask me the dates that Harrison was going through chemo. I don’t know how it happens but it sparked my memory of the fact that this very same day is 15 years, almost to the hour, of when Harrison was diagnosed with Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia. […]
