Name Change

It is now Moxie instead of Mopsy. This was an early birthday present for Wanda. She have been wanting a puppy for the last couple of years. It was a complete surprise to her. I brought the little character home in a large birthday bag from Hallmark and a card. I called Wanda to come out to the kitchen when I got home, hoping the pup would keep her head down in the bag until I gave Wanda her birthday card. Didn't happen! As soon as Wanda came into the kitchen, the little devil poked her head up over the bag. Thought Wanda was going to pass out! It was cool!

Wanda's Baby

Here she is! 11 week old Mopsie, a little Shit-zhu female.

More to come later.

Look Who's Turning 69 October 7, 2009

Happy Birthday to my wonderful husband who still looks great, I'm still so much in love with after over 23 years.

I love you Michael, your wife Wanda

Back Home!

It's been a long time between posts. We left Morro Bay on April 25 and stopped in Porterville to visit Chris, Kristy, Jacob and Cody. Spent 2 days and had a great time. Jacob and Cody are so much fun to be around.

From there we took 2 days to get to Vancouver and had a wonderful visit with Jonathan, Whitney and Ivy, Mark and Michelle and all the associated hords of grandkids and especially Baylor. Janice was able to come down from Alaska and it was so good to see her. It's been too long magoo!

We had to cut our visit a day short because of a major water leak in our RV. What a pain. It was good to get home though. Wanda and I both felt like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz. "It's so good to be home."

Since being home we have been chugging down Aleve like crazy as the result of doing tons of yard work and planting a vegetable garden. The end is in sight though.

Oh, and the whole family got a chuckle over Steven's little incident in Augusta. What a great mugshot beaver!!!!!!!!!!

23 Years

We celebrated our 23rd wedding anniversery on April 11. Had a wonderful evening out on the waterfront at Morro Bay. A really great fresh seafood dinner.

Time really flies! It seemed like just yesterday we were married. Now we are looking forward to the next 23 years.

Morphing

I think we have been spending too much time at the beach and maybe eating too much seafood. The attached photo might tell you what I'm talking about. It was taken by friends from Oregon. Wanda and I seem to become full-feathered creatures.

I think we really need to get home fast!

Then and Now

Ran across a couple of pics. One from 1976 in the Moses Lake Control Center and the other from 2007 in the Spokane Control Center. Wow. Forgot I had black hair once.
