Today, Mark and I got to sleep in, and then we did some fun things… Continue reading

I passed!
This morning Mark and I went over to Mom’s house. She made lunch for us and started an unintentional fire, but Mark’s quick thinking saved the day. After lunch, he stayed and fixed her garbage disposal which hasn’t worked in several years. This afternoon, he was called to work. Continue reading
This week in review
A few things have happened in the last week, so I thought it was about time to write again. Continue reading
I got a job!
I have applied for several jobs this week as well as the one I applied for before we left Wisconsin, but I haven’t heard back from any of them. It occurred to me today that Mark got an immediate response from UPS when he applied, so I decided to apply there too. Continue reading
Mark got a job!
Mark had his interview this morning for the driver’s helper position at UPS. He got the job – yeah! – but it’s on-call and it only pays half as much as the other position he applied for. He found out today that the other position is already filled. Continue reading

Some Mom time
I have some catching up to do. I arrived in Portland on Tuesday evening, and on Wednesday morning, Mom and I were going to take her car to the garage to have some work done on it while she was gone. I got into the car I store at her place so that I could follow her, but nothing happened when I turned the key. We called AAA and the man started it and said it needed to run for an hour, so I followed her to her garage and then she did a couple of errands while I kept the car running. We stopped at a store near her home and I turned the car off and on again, but it was dead. We called AAA a second time, and this time the man sold us a new battery and installed it. Then the car ran reliably. Continue reading
God is so good!
I haven’t had a chance to talk about Wednesday yet, and now I have news from today as well, so this could be a little bit longer than usual!
Kind of a shock to the system
Everything has been up in the air for us regarding our trip to Oregon for the next couple of months. My brother-in-law has been living in adult foster care most of this year, so we’re not sure where we will be living. But today, we got more unsettling news… Continue reading
Victorian Wedding Exhibit
I happened to have my camera with me at the Noble House today, and there was so much light streaming in the windows, I decided to take some pictures during a quiet moment. We are doing an exhibit of Victorian weddings this year. I am not going to show or tell everything I say during my tours because I want to give my mother the tour when she comes here at the end of October. I don’t want her to bow out because I’ve already told it all! 😉 Continue reading
