MISSED IT BY THAT MUCH !!

I saw someone try and drive onto the place finally. The barbed wire across the road stopped them. They didn't get out of the vehicle though, rats. So, instead of talking to them I took the lap top and took a couple pictures.

Low news day. That's a good thing.

Did you know that cats do yoga? I think that this is called the 'Upward Stare,' followed by the 'Downward Glare.'

JIM - BIGFOOT MOVED TO MARS!!

This is untouched image from the NASA Mars rover. You can see the full image by clicking on the Title above. Peter

Another try !

Since nobody posted I though I would. This is the 5th. day for Illa and I on trying to quit smoking again. We have reduced it from 3 or 4 cigarettes an hour to 1 every hour and a half. That is actually a BIG step for a smoker. We also walk along the fence line each day to get in a bit of exercise. Not as nice as a walk on the beach, but, it is exercise !!

WE need another picture of my feet.

They are looking a little sun-distressed aren't they? I took this pic this evening as the moon was peeking through the trees and was wondering what you (all of you) were doing at precisely 5:00 this evening.

Sandi and I went to Cave Junction this afternoon to see the snow as I needed to check out a place I'm taking my class on a field trip on Feb. 1. While it wasn't real snowy it was nice to get out of town for at least the afternoon. It was a very beautiful drive. We have a favorite place to eat lunch (Taylor's Sausage)in Cave Junction, OR, (in the event that you're driving down Hwy 199, and are hungry) that has a VERY good lunch menu. We had to turn around on a favorite logging road because the car couldn't push any more snow with its bumper.

I think that I must be getting more experienced, (unlike Peter, older) as I'm more interested in the political scene. Yes, that's right, I'm listening to Presidential candidate debates.

From Lueria Alicia daughter

I'm back

I have been busy with moving to a salon. I have been looking at the blog but I could not find the pass word. lol. I'm a dork. I know. Rich is doing good and still looking for a job. He is still working and its better. But he has not given up in finding a retirement with a job.

I just moved salon's. I know God found this place for me. It has taken me 3 years to find it. Now I'm trying to trust all my client with follow. But no worries my husband said "if we loose it all we will just move to an apt.". I love him. We are doing great thru all this.

Mckenzie is in soccer and turning 13 on Jan 27th. Justin is turning 18 in March. He is a Junior and still with his girlfriend Bethony.

It's fun reading this blog. Thanks for doing this blog. Hope all is well. Love you all. For the reunion we will only be there for the weekend. Fri-Sat. We are not taking the boat and will be just hanging around and visiting. We don't want to deal with the running back and forth. Rich might I hope, have a new job. So he might not have the time off. If he has to work, I will be there with the 4 kids.

See you soon. Love to all of you.

Has anyone watched, 'An Inconvenient Truth,' by Al Gore?

If you have, I'd be intested in hearing your perspective.

You'd think that as much I've been online today I've just been sitting on the computer all day. Actually, I returned the splitter, worked in the yard, planted two 10 gallon potted trees, went to see the unveiling of the new ZAP car dealership, and am now watching the Giants and Packers game.

Who has watched, 'Sicko,' by Michael Moore?

If so, I'd be interested in your comments. Jim

Jefferson? Did someone say 'State of Jefferson?'

Reminds me of the time....................







when Andrew and I went over to Seiad Valley before Christmas to go fishing. This monument has been there for about 20 years and I've always wanted to take a picture of it. Notice though, I'm not wearing my lucky blue sweatshirt. I think someone stole it!

On other news, how many of you have an electric car dealership starting up in your neighborhood? NO, it's not me. I just read in the paper that a guy is starting a ZAP car dealership in Crescent City. Can you believe it, we really are a progressive town. I don't think he'll make it, but it's a good start. Especially considering the fact that there is already a dealership 80 miles away, and our PK is still the only one in town. My next electric car: aptera.com. I have to wait on those lottery winnings before I'm able to buy a Tesla.

Better guard your internet connection, it's the weekend and I'm feeling some opinions coming on. I'm sitting here watching the Disaster Channel (History Channel) and actually feeling pretty good as to where we live. They just said that a person is more likely to die from an asteriod hitting the planet, 1:20,000, than die from a tsunami, 1:50,000.

By the way, if you're in the neighborhood this weekend, stop on by. We're having a wood splitting day tomorrow. I've rented a splitter and we plan to split about 2 cords of wood. Not coming, aye? I didn't think so. But, if you get bored............

Have a good week,
Love,
Jim

hey!!

what are you talking about apples. To show you that im not completely ignorant.
Ill let you use it. Oh wait your in "California".

Hey Petro

I liked Sandi's idea. You should have heard what I suggested to Ben about what to do about his THE FENCE SITUATION. But of course I don't think ANY OF US would do any of those things, but now BEN, well he is BEN, get my drift.
Oh ya, we had 3" of snow here yesterday but warmed up here today, tonight is suppose to get down to about 9 degrees. That is so funny Ben, I was also looking for degree key on the computer. I did spell the word right to thanks for spell check, I use that a lot.

Carpe Diem

To me, what everyone is saying, is embodied in 'carpe diem.' Yes, enjoy the day and even every essence and experience of every day. It will never happen again. For whatever reason, and all reasons, enjoy the day.

Henry David Thoreau said it best, "None are so old as those who have outlived enthusiasm."

Even Martin Luther King said that Henry David Thoreau was one of his molding influences.

Jim

"Come on, it's another sunny day, let's go for a walk!"

Sorry, Ohmah, I'm too tired tonight. It's been a long day, maybe tomorrow.

We saw the sun three days in a row!!!!!!

Some of us were so happy they kicked up their heels. Sandi, Ohmah, and I took a walk up Crescent Beach Road this evening. It was a little cool, but no wind. Stellar!!
Carpe diem,
Jim

We saw the sun!!!

After about about a month of not seeing the sun it came out just like a summer day, sans fog. It was beautiful so Sandi and I had to take a walk to one of our favorite local places. It made her really happy because she had always thought the Cadre Loop was 3.2 miles and to her surprise it's 4.2 miles. It was such a nice evening I made a fire out in the grill and be grilled last night. Harbingers of summer to be sure.

Bonnie Said

OK JIMBO, TELL US ABOUT YOUR LUMBAGO, WHATEVER THAT IS !!!!!!

During the time of Christopher Columbus and the exploration of the New World...........

there was a belief that if one sailed out of sight of land they would drop off the edge of the known world into the abyss of the unknown and be eaten by serpents that inhabit these regions. It appears, as a family, we have reached that edge! It seems as if our known 'family world' has dropped off the edge of the cyberspace world. In other words, traffic is at a standstill, so, I'll have to share with you 'my world' as uneventful as it may be.

Today, Andrew, Rachael, Gunner, and I tested out Andrew's Christmas present. We had bought for him a used, and possibly slightly abused, aluminum boat, electric motor and trailer. We went to town today and purchased those items that were missing; battery, tie-downs, drain plug, and ball receiver. Then, we went to Dead Lake and informally 'Christened' (sans champagne) the noble craft. Basically, backed it into the water for the first time and took a spin around the lake. First Mate Gunner did very well, except for the fact that he didn't want to be in the boat and wanted to get out ASAP!

I took the kayak out and paddled around with them. This lake known as Dead Lake was in fact an old mill pond that was used as a log pond for one of the many (27) lumber mills in Del Norte county in its heyday. In fact, the mill employed 500 employees when I was a teenager. It caught fire around 1980 and was never rebuilt back after that. I hadn't thought about it before, but, I wonder.........

Now it is only the home of a few beaver and migrating birds, but it is still a nice place for an evening paddle.


Jim

Just a I love ya all message

Hey is anyone out there. I guess everyone is busy after the holidays, but hey I miss ya all and just wanted to say hi.

"A picture is worth a thousand words," so I won't write that much, except for the latest on my gizzard and lumbago.

Not enough snow, too much snow, snow's too mushy, no snow (here), it's hard to please everyone isn't it? The good news is that we're still here to complain, the bad news...there's still not the right kind of snow! We have rain. Is anyone interested in some extra rain? 4.6" here since Jan. 1. See, boring?

I took this pic about 2 weeks ago in our backyard in between a break in the rain showers. It's (was) a leaf of a Sweet Gum tree we have in the backyard. There was a break in the clouds, a lull in the wind, and the stars and moon were in line, and I happened to be in the backyard getting wood for the wood box.

It's good to see more of us online and back in the cyberspace world. These last two weeks for us have been, busy and playing catchup with getting rested up. The last week we had Calvin, Sandi's nephew, up here visiting us. He was MaryLou's son, and is now living with his dad in Santa Rosa. He has Aspergers Syndrome, so has a hard time socializing with others. We met his father in Garberville (150 miles, the halfway point) yesterday and came back to CC last night.

So, back to school tomorrow, and so, back to the routine. Unfortunately, I think I could get used to this sleeping in thing. God must know that I would abuse it, and so I must get up and go to work every day.
Jim

I'M BACK

Hey, I'm back,thanks Benito, I thought I tried that but guess I did something wrong.
I love this new laptop, it's a SYSTEMAX, has anyone heard of one.
Glad to hear everyone is surviving the bad weather. Rick has been going through some bad stuff but wont take any chances. He wanted to send a message on the blog when he was home but couldn't because computer was on the blink. He said to say hi and send his love.
I'm really excited, I'm trying to plan a trip to see Suzy soon. I have to do it when Rick can be home for the dogs.
Hey Jim, are you saying you don't know what my old email name means. LOL

Back from Colorado

It was a good trip. Hey, and I finished the doll house! We got back to cold and rainy weather, you know the kind that chills to the bone. We already miss our kids. Looks like Ben and Illa are going to have a good amount of snow soon. PnK

'Hepy,' Healthy New Year to all!!

Evidently, according to the blog traffic, everything is pretty low key. I'll take that as "no news as good news." I've been dealing with a persistent cold and my back has been acting up some. I did go to the the doctor and she gave me some muscle relaxant pills, which work, but make me pretty docile (think slug). Even college football games are now interesting! I have to force myself to get out out the house and do things. We did go up in the hills (same place you and I went, Dick) and found a tree to cut up. Not high enough elevation to have much snow, but we did get out. But, this isn't really newsworthy. Pretty soon I'll be relegated to telling you about my lumbago and bowel habits! See, not much has been going on. Yes, I've really enjoyed this break. I guess I really needed the break.

Anyway, Happy New Year!!! The last couple of days I've had moments of reflection and planning for this year, but I've managed to not make too make commitments. A person doesn't want to rush into these things in a moment of weakness, pressure, or guilt from anyone. But, I did mention to Sandi that there's a Trinidad to Clam Beach run/walk for her to enter, and she signed me up too. Talk about plans backfiring! I guess I need to get off my duff. Lucky for me she signed me up for the 3 mile one. See, she does love me.

Rambling, that what I'm doing. After a crab dinner that Calvin helped prepare we had a dominoes game. Calvin is Sandi's nephew and is up visiting with us for the week. We didn't make it up until midnight last night. We watched the the ball drop in New York on TV, toasted with Randy, Claudia, and Calvin, shot off some fireworks on the back deck, kissed HB and were in bed by 9:30. See, pretty boring.

Our cold snap is somewhat different than in other parts of the country. It froze last night, 31* and 55* during the day. No complaints.

Anyway, if anyone had any resolutions and/or noble plans for this year, 'lemme know. Maybe that'll motivate me. If I don't hear anything, prepare yourselves to hear about my gizzard and lumbago!

Love, Jim

ANGER MANAGEMENT

Sometimes when you are angry with someone,
it helps to sit down and think about the problem. ILLA

Boys and Girls Differences - (feel free to add other observations)

I can't help but notice most the girls have dropped off the blog. There's probably several reasons for this. First, women never stop working, so they usually don't have as much time. As for my wife, she doesn't even know how to turn the computer on.

Another reason might be that boys play a little rougher than girls. Girls like soft, pretty and phu phu type material - even on the net; while boys like guns, motorcycles, and beating up on each other. Generally girls seem to always need reassurance, and can't seem to tolerate any type of communication which, right or wrong, could possibly be construed as personal. For instance, I'll be looking at my wife thinking , "man am I a lucky dog to be married to such a wonderful wife". She'll notice me looking at her, and she'll say, "you think I'm fat".

Besides, average boy/girl differences. I think we still have to learn to trust one another. What we don't want to happen until we are all in geriatric wards, is the old syndrome of feeling of having to walk on eggshells when communicating. Unfortunately that is easier said than done. Trust is a hard thing to learn; but just because you've been burnt doesn't mean you should never start a fire. Life can be very cold that way.

In the meantime, I'll try to be a little softer. PS, Lueria is an exception for motorcycles.

Did someone say we should have a winter time reunion?

I didn't think so.
Jim

I can hardly wait.............

Our heart and home to all of you !!

Merry Christmas !!

While it is only a date to all unite and think of the birth, it is good to have a specific date we can all use, no matter the name of God. I think. It is up to God the events and destination,between just Him and the one individual but still, I pray for each one of you as well as myself. I thank Him for the blessings He gives each of us. I guess that is why I like some of the "older" songs. Like now, I sit here alone ,but not alone, and look at the moon and think of, The Wonder of it All !! I thank God for each of you and yours and for Him letting me learn more each day !! Ben Illa, I will love you always !!

Merry Christmas Eve..............MistleTOE

In all seriousness, and I'm deadly serious about this. On this eve of the birth of Christ (not that I question the birth, but rather the date), I wish all a very happy, healthy, and happy Christmas to be enjoyed with family. Sandi and I send our love to you and yours. We'll be thinking of all of you.
Jim

I love mistletoe.........

'Ya gotta wonder, if one sprig gets you a kiss, what an entire branch gets you.

Andrew and I took a short trip over to the Klamath River. It was like old times...real old times, he caught 8 fish and I didn't catch any. It was great, but we didn't camp as I was coming down with a cold. Besides at this time of the year it's 14 hours of darkness.
You can see a slide show on my blog. http://jnshoop.blogspot.com/

Who birthday was it any way

i forgot until Jim said something. I believe it was this past week.
YOU ALMOST GOT AWAY WITH IT PETER!!!!!

At times like these I feel like a 'Jon' looking for a cheap tramp.

But tonight I only feel like someone who walked the docks this evening looking for crabs and came back without any crabs or tricks. The ocean has been rough and the boats haven't gone out in a few days. Some people would say, that's a good thing. Me, I'd say that means it's a pizza night.
Jim

tis the season

if you were a food, what would you be...

Id be a fruitcake.

BENITA SAID, I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH

I did something to my computor and can't retrieve my mail so if anyone writes don't think I'm snubbing you. I'm trying to get my stepson over here to help me.
I'm so excited, Rick will be home this time next week. Wish I knew how to share some of the cards he draws for me, I got 3 today, they are so funny. LOVE YA ALL

FOOD FIGHT !!!!!!

You might not hear from Karen and I for a while. We're leaving for the airport in a couple of hours, flying off to Colorado till after the 1st of the year. Actually, we'll be staying the night at a hotel, park our car there and head out in the morning.

But, if our flight is shot down, or we die of altitude sickness (our kids live at 10000ft.) Or we get kidnapped, or something else that might render us incommunicado, KNOW that we love you all; especially my really odd sibling (you know who you are).

And just remember, you all have a right to your erroneous opinions! May there always be sausage! Love Peter and Karen

Bonnies post makes me wonder....

If God didn't intend for us to eat meat.
Why does it taste so good?
Dick

CHICKEN TOO

IF YOU SAW THE CHICKEN PLANTS WE PICKED UP AT YOU'D THINK TWICE ABOUT THE CHICKEN YOU EAT, I ALLOWS ROOT FOR THE CHICKENS THAT GOT LOOSE, PROBLEM IS THEY ARE TO DUMB TO RUN AWAY AND YOU SEE THEM WALKING AROUND LOOSE AT THE PLANT. THESE PLACES ARE PRETTY AWEFUL SMELLING AND YOU CAN SIT IN YOUR TRUCK AND WATCH THE CONTAINERS OF LIVE CHICKEN GO IN AND THEN THE FEATHERS AND BONES AND THINGS YOU DON'T CARE TO SEE DUMPED INTO CONTAINERS. STRAY CATS LOVE THESE PLACES.

Never watch how sausage is made, as you'll never eat sausage again.

You've all heard that, but probably not followed through and have fallen victim to eating it....again. If not, more power to you. I've another one to add to that. Never, let your wife watch you change the rollers on the bottom of a patio door, especially if you've not done it before. In particular, if, your first comment is, "I wonder how this door comes off?" (Lift, grunt, lift, grunt.....)

Her: "Do you think that it would be better to buy a new door."

Me: (lift, grunt, lift, grunt, "%$#@$%^," lift, grunt, lift, grunnnnttt, "^%$#@^%".

Her: "Are you sure you want to do this while it's raining?" (wondering how many days we'll feel the wind blowing through the house.)

Me: "Ah, ha! UHHHHHHHH...., WOW!!!!, this thing is HEAVVVVVY!!!!!.

Her: "I think that this may be a good time for me to go downtown."

Me: " Have fun."

Don't worry, everything turned out fine. The door works great.

Have a great week,
Jim

Dinner!!!!!!!!!

No, Peter, it's not Photoshop, it's dinner. The guys and girls came over tonight and we had a great visit. For those that aren't seafood aficionados, well, I'm sorry for your loss. Don't look. In fact, don't read any farther. In fact, skip quickly down to the last post.





Quickly...........





QUICKER!!!!!!!.................




Cover 'yer eyes!!!!!!!!




We had dungeness. One that didn't get away. Bought off a boat two hours before dinner.


There are creepy, crawly crabs that live just past the surf line, just below the beautiful horizon, waiting to be caught. Ultimately, part of the web of life, part of the food chain.

Bonnie's going to supply all the bacon for the next reunion

Andrew's stress reduction technique

benita said

Thanks Illa, I had also given Peter Suzy's address, guess it was a dumb thing to do. Sorry.

Benita

OK Sandi, How do I delete the last 2 address from the blog?

How many jobs have you had? hmmm

truck driver, hobby shop sales, machinist, assembly, parts inspector, back office support, janitor, tree service support, produce sales, well driller, cellophane bag machine operator, horse barn caretaker, christmas tree pruner, warehouse worker, apartment maintance, aircraft landing observer, flight deck attendant, paint stripper, dishwasher, candle maker, mill worker.
i think that about covers it. some of these jobs ive had more than once. kind of depressing when you think about it.
Dick
Oh and Cupid :)

Andrew and I went fishing this afternoon...

I did say fishing, not catching. It was a great afternoon to be out on the river, but come to think of it, what day isn't a good day to be out on the river fishing? There was even a bear looking for a aged salmon dinner. We didn't see him, just the print. The sunset tonight was stellar, so I had to share it with all of you. Have a great week.
Carpe weekend,
Jim

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I do the outside 'decorations' and Sandi does the inside decorations. These are a couple of the Christmas Yard Cards that I painted last year. Really, the inside decorations are much more festive than the outside decorations. But, I do need to, at least, try to do my part. I'm not really the 'slacker' that you may think I am.

(Actually, I am). Sandi is the real 'mover and shaker' in our now smaller family unit. If it weren't for her, like Peter said, I'd be living in a cave with a large screen TV nailed to the wall, or maybe balanced on a rock. No, really, that's an 'untruth.' I am to cheap to do that, I would probably be staring at a fire trying to come to grips with the 'meaning of life.'


YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Our quasi-Christmas tree. Actually it's a 4-1 cherry tree that I bought today. Sandi quickly moved it outside.

New address

In case some don't have our new address, Jim has it.
Hey Dick, I love doing target practice, I have always wanted to get a rifle, Vegas has a fun target practice in the Pro Bass Store. I also like to shoot hunters with my imaginary gun, I did that a lot to hunters when I drove truck and saw the poor dear in their trucks. Sorry you hunter people, don't want to know who you are although I can guess.
Ben I never said I wasn't on your side for that new bike, infact if I lived back there I would be very tempted to buy yours. I really wish our plans hadn't changed, Zack and Chasity have never liked me and with Rick never here it is really lonesome. I'm just doing my thing and trying to support him. Nothing we do seems to make any difference to the kids. I feel like our life together has always been centered around his kids and his X. I want to at least go to our own church. Oh well, sorry just venting.


REMOVED BONNIES ADDRESS. ILLA

OK, I TINKERED AGAIN

WE DIDN'T PUT THE WINDOW IN THIS WAY. THE MANUFACTURER DID.

master bedroom

This is a dusky Rose called midsummer dusk. All that is left is the edging and putting on the wall paper border. Roses. The master bath is done the same way but still have to do the border. This leaves only the Office yet. can hardly get in there so that will take some time.

this is whats happening around in the n.w.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS

I AM ON A MISSION, AND MAKING MYSELF ACCOUNTABLE TO ALL OF YOU:
I AM SO TIRED OF BEING FAT AND NOT HAVING ENERGY, THAT IS ONE REASON ALTHOUGH NOT THE ONLY REASON WE ARE ON THIS PH PROGRAM. I have lost 12 lbs since the reunion, another 35 to go. I am so excited. It's really fun to do this with Rick gone and then to see what I can accomplish by the time I see him again. He's lost about the same. It's one way to make the time go by faster when he's gone. I am going to be one sexy looking sister when you see me again.
I have tried to send two emails to Suzy and they haven't gone through, is anyone else having any problems getting through.
I MISS ALL MY CRAZY SLIBLING (NOT A TYPE ERROR) AND FAMILY

I'm starting a marriage counseling string, feel free to add other helpful hints: 1st., 'Resolve the issue before leaving the car'

TROUTDALE, Ore. (AP) - A hospital nursing supervisor says a man will survive his injuries after his girlfriend allegedly ran him over in her car.

Troutdale Police say the woman, 33-year-old Denise Moline, fled the scene on Tuesday but was caught using witness accounts.

Several witnesses told police that they noticed the couple arguing inside the car until the man got out. Then, they said the woman ran him over, possibly several times.

Police say 23-year-old Tyson Akre, of Troutdale, was able to get help at a nearby gas station, where an employee called 9-1-1.

Police say Moline was arrested and held in the Multnomah County Detention Center.

Akre is at Legacy Emanuel Hospital.

Bonnie

Just wanted to say I was thinking about you and Rick today.
Love ya SIS

Peter?

So how did you fair the flood. I tried to call but got no answer. thought that you either are in colorado or you lost electricity. Hope you didnt get flooded out.

Bonnie

Guess I better let every know that Rick and I will not be making the move to Oregon, Rick oldeest is having a lot of personal issues and we just dont think it would be the right thing to leave now. Maybe some time down the road, who knows. Zack needs a lot of prayers. LOL and happy holidays

GRANDKIDS ROOM

I THINK THIS IS ALL THE DAMAGE I CAN DO TO THEIR ROOM. THERE MIGHT BE SOME OTHER LITTLE THINGS TO DO AS I THINK OF THEM BUT THIS IS IT. MY FIRST SHOT AT PAINTING SOMETHING OTHER THAN ONE COLOR. ILLA

Game room, Hall and Teresa's room

can't get a good pic. of Bj's room so it is not here. His is painted moss green. Teresa's is still in progress. It is something caled Wild Orchid. A nice lavender. Only have a bit done in the master bath and bedroom. It and the Office will be last.

Kitchen and Dining room

this is the kitchen and dining room. it is all painted but still have to finish the baseboards. it will look really nice when all that flat contractors white paint is gone. you can tell we like bright colors. Illa

grand kids room

This is what i am trying to do in the grandkids room. See if you can recognise any of it. I am not an artist but this is my stab at it. Remember this is a work in progress. Illa

Our living room

this is what we have done to the living room. Illa
