6-Pack?

I have no words...this literally says it all!

Greeks vs. Armenians

2012-01-03T14:37:00.000-08:00

Saw this on Google news last week and thought this was the most incredible thing ever...it's craziness! It seems so crazy that a fight would break out because someone was not cleaning in their rightful area. Later on I looked at this clip again and noticed that one of the clergy was taking pictures or video with his phone...seriously?! That just upped the crazy factor a notch or two...

Happy New Year!

2012-01-01T19:27:00.000-08:00

We hosted a little New Year's Eve gathering at our house this year...I didn't get photos of everyone - Doug, Mary & Evan were here also...I managed to grab the camera later in the evening mostly because Dani came back to play dominoes with a pile of snacks on her plate - she was sharing, but it was pretty impressive! While waiting for midnight to roll around we played Apples to Apples, Killer

I don't get it...

Christmas Day

2012-01-01T18:58:00.000-08:00

Christmas Day on a Sunday - Very Cool! Worship started at 11 am which gave us some time to enjoy our morning by opening gifts and having our cinnamon rolls for breakfast. After church we made our way over to Claudson's for lunch, but had to make a stop at Starbucks to visit with the coffee crew there very briefly - and to drop off some treats for them...

Christmas Eve

2012-01-01T18:29:00.000-08:00

This year instead of having a Christmas Eve Service we had a Christmas Eve Serving...many members signed up to go caroling at a couple of retirement centers or to deliver treats to those who had to work that evening. The group that I was a part of visited Clearwater Springs in Hazel Dell to sing a bunch of songs and it was so much fun! Several of the residents sang along - even though it was

Christmas

Yeah, I know, it's New Year's Day...but I FINALLY have downloaded my photographs and am starting to update this space now. This first smilebox is from the gifts that I made for my supervisor and a past supervisor as well as some of my favorite partner's in crime... This free slideshow design created with Smilebox I had a lot of fun making all of these items! I have never really done a lot

The madness really never goes away...

2011-12-27T14:11:00.000-08:00

So I thought I might be able to at least post about my vacation week, but dang it all, I didn't get to it! Hoping you all enjoyed your Christmas...looking forward to starting a brand new year with hopefully new and exciting possibilities! Until I sit down (at home) and get my pictures loaded onto the computer, here's a tidbit that I found in my work email inbox while doing some "housecleaning."

A Lot Going On...

2011-12-17T08:55:00.000-08:00

The past couple of weeks just kind of zoomed by and we have kept ourselves busy with getting ready for Christmas and regular everyday stuff like WORK! I'm on vacation now thru December 26th. I FINALLY got some sleep! Here's what's been happening around the Bennett & Olschewsky Homestead... This free slideshow design created with Smilebox

Wise Words to Reflect On

2011-12-05T09:35:00.000-08:00

Those of us who are most familiar with the Spirit's promises are in the greatest danger...familiarity may not breed contempt, but it takes the edge off awe...promises that drop the jaws or widen the eyes of newcomers, but provoke no more than a raised eyebrow in the old-timers who have ceased to dream. ~ Jim McGuiggan

Merry Christmas!

Another Thanksgiving has Come and Gone...

2011-11-26T15:44:00.000-08:00

Thanksgiving has come and gone and we were with the Bennett Family, but if I had a choice, I would want to be transported back to my childhood Thanksgiving Family Dinners. I remember the table all full of food...my brother's oyster stuffing, the candied yams (ick) and all sorts of other side dishes and of course the turkey. Those dinners were always so good - my mom could cook a traditional

Advent Conspiracy Project #1

2011-11-21T09:58:00.000-08:00

For many years Felida has been participating in Operation Christmas Child - a program through Samaritan's Purse. This past weekend was our packing party at the church and it was so incredible! In the early days we would do a couple hundred boxes and think we were doing alright. We would send out the challenge to families to pack boxes and bring them to the church ready to go. That had changed a

Look Who's Getting Older

2011-11-10T10:22:00.000-08:00

We have already gone to Biscuits Cafe for breakfast and to Starbucks for coffee. This evening is a special dinner made by me and then off to get a dessert...to the Body Worlds exhibit Saturday and then on Sunday to Lapellah with our buddies.

Pretty Stuff

2011-11-06T14:30:00.000-08:00

Up until very recently I haven't really been that interested in wearing much in the way of accessories, you know, bracelets, necklaces...etc. I have been pretty happy with wearing my wedding ring and a watch - a very old sports watch. Actually, the ring is an anniversary ring, but still it's one ring. I can't bear to wear too many items on my fingers even though I like the idea. A couple of

Trick or Treat Time!

2011-11-01T15:13:00.000-07:00

It has been a few years since we have gone Trick or Treating - darn Andrew growing up! Last night we went around Doug & Mary's neighborhood and had a fun time watching all the kids running around the and getting their treats. It's hard to say who had more fun, the little kids or the big "kids."

NW Cancer Today!

2011-10-20T08:58:00.000-07:00

My name could be Zelda! Today I go in to visit my oncologist...the last time I saw her was last year in October! So today's Zelda is perfect! I always tell Tom that I'm a princess :)

Changin' Things Up

2011-10-14T14:24:00.000-07:00

Got tired of looking for a picture that looked decent...so I went for a picture that I think is COOL! My contacts even show up...doubly cool! I don't think that I'll ever forget that I ever had a brain tumor - not with a scar on my head, thinner hair on one side of my head and MRIs that produce cool photos such as the one above ;) Life is good, my friends...enjoy!

September Happenings..

2011-10-07T19:20:00.000-07:00

It seems like I may have fallen off the face of the earth in September - it was a busy month. A little stressful here and there, but mostly busy.I started the month with a Triathlon on the 4th and actually did MUCH better on the swim than my first tri in June. That was my happy moment of the weekend! Go to See Nancy Run-Ride-Run (and Swim) to check out my thoughts on that HERE Tom and I

Dumping Ground

2011-09-24T09:04:00.000-07:00

This is what part of our kitchen looks like when we come home from the gym. There are four bags! Okay, so two are mine, but I only take one with me to the gym - I'm just too lazy to put the other backpack away.

Hobbit Day!

2011-09-22T09:38:00.000-07:00

Gandalf & Bilbo sitting down for some tea Today is Hobbit Day - I stumbled upon this while on my google homepage... Anyway, it's already too late to have Breakfast and Second Breakfast, but there is a whole day ahead of me! There is still time for Elevenses, Luncheon, Afternoon Tea, Dinner and Supper. Time to get started! Some of the foods that Hobbits are fond of are as follows: Mushrooms,

Farmer's Market

2011-08-27T15:05:00.000-07:00

Today we took a trip to the Vancouver Farmer's Market...what a gorgeous day! We brought home some baby potatoes, blueberries, tomatoes and some green onions as well as well as a couple two - three toys for Mr. Decaf. We decided to split a pork tamale with some beans and rice. So good! Customize your own digital collage
