Back in April I posted a note about beginning our garden. Finally we finished filling the boxes with soil and bought most of the vegetable plants. I also installed a hose bib to make watering easier. The hose is also fed from our pressurized irrigation system so it doesn’t count against our house water bill. [...]
We decided we needed to get out and do something on our day off. So off to feed the geese. Elizabeth loves to feed the ducks and geese. This time there were a whole bunch of young geese that looked more fuzzy than feathery. It turned out to be a beautiful day for the park. [...]
The concert went great and Twelve 21 continues to improve their showmanship and ability to entertain as well as rock. Here’s a short clip.
Twelve 21, the band of which Casey Lewis (my brother-in-law) is lead singer and occasional guitarist, is playing today at the band shell. BSU held a “face off” of bands to determine who would open for their Spring Fling concert featuring Reel Big Fish and Everclear among others. They won the face off and today [...]
I braved the hordes of Trekkie geeks to see the very first showing of Star Trek in Boise. Actually, the “hordes” didn’t even quite fill the theater. I think the time (7:00) threw a few of the faithful off. Only one brave soul showed up in captain’s uniform and won the free poster for best [...]
Well we started the roof. Things went pretty well on Friday. We got everything tore off, despite the minor sprinkling that the weather man said wouldn’t happen. Much more of the roof was soft and we decided to just resheet the whole roof rather than pull out various pieces and replace them. The problem of [...]
The time has come to re-roof our house. It’s amazing the roof has lasted as long as it has. The house was built in 1974 and it is finally falling apart. Some of the recent wind storms have begun the removal process for us. To our good fortune, we happen to have some wonderful and [...]
Finally the weather has begun to tease us with sunlight and the warmth of the spring. This temptation into the outdoors has convinced Becky and I into finally building our garden. We are both very excited to see how it turns out. Both Becky and I are very inexperienced in the area of gardening but [...]
My grandma passed away this week and my mom wanted to sing at her memorial service. We agreed that it would be rather difficult and should record it ahead of time if possible. The guys at the Mix House in Boise were kind enough to help us record her in their studio. I put the [...]
For a while, I felt cheated. After having worked at Tamarack doing electrical work for around 9 months, it seemed that I should have had an opportunity to snowboard the hill. But until this last weekend, I hadn’t. Finally, Dan and I had the pleasure of riding the snow at Tamarack. Now I find out that [...]
