The Commentators: June 2013
http://thecommentators.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
A blog by Tom 'n Kate. PDX Pix - May 2013. May started off with a fun event - Kate defended her Master's thesis at San Jose State, so as of now she's officially a master! Joking aside, it's a great accomplishment and perhaps more importantly to her, means that she's done and can go back to focusing on teaching. I tagged along on the weekend trip and we got a nice visit with friends in as well. We even had a pool party! Other items of note in May were the DASH puzzlehunt. The Bay Area gang. And Argo.

A blog by Tom 'n Kate. YTVotD - Cookie Monster Edition. Wasn't Sesame Street fantastic? PDX Pix - June 2012. June was a busy month! And beautiful, as we got a lot of the weather people here in western Oregon rave about. Lots of pictures, including a couple trips to some very photogenic places. Let's start of by celebrating Kate finishing the school year at the Teachers Fountain! Kind of a weak fountain - maybe it's meant to represent the current underfunded state of the education system. We stopped at De...

A blog by Tom 'n Kate. YTVotD - Romney likes lakes. Guest-starring for YouTube is the NYTimes today:. Sorry it's cropped a bit. PDX Pix - April 2012. April photos are dominated by kitchen remodel progress, sorry. We are also enjoying our first spring here in the PNW - things are so green and towards the end of the month everything started exploding with blooms of all colors! Got to go to a Blazers game at the Rose Garden! Beautiful pastoral countryside SW of us, explored on a bike ride. Good job, Marc.

A blog by Tom 'n Kate. YTVotD - Happy 3rd Birthday, SDO. I encourage you to watch in 1080p and larger size on youtube. PDX Pix - January 2013 (plus Erin/Jim wedding). In January we had a couple fun snowshoeing trips, some snowy skiing in Colorado, saw the world snow sculpture championships in Breckenridge, and Erin and Jim's winter wedding near Rocky Mountain National Park (technically it was in February, but I'll include them here). I guess it was a snow-themed month! Sunny winter day at Mt Tabor park.

A blog by Tom 'n Kate. It's been quite a long time since I had a google maps-related post, but this is pretty cool. Chapel Hill/Durham really do seem to have grown. And watching Chernobyl grow back over is kind of neat. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Most days are not like this. Garrett Farms Weather Station. Simple template. Powered by Blogger.

A blog by Tom 'n Kate. PDX Pix - May 2012. Minor issues installing the diswasher. Don't worry, it doesn't pee on the floor anymore. Banjo does his part by hunting flies inside the house. Port-a-potties" - preparing for a dump trip. Timbers game w/work group. Some pictures from the Eagle Creek trail. Tunnel Falls - the trail actually tunnels through the rock behind the waterfall on about a 50' ledge. Pretty spectacular! Full Sail taster and Dominion in Hood River. Rafters running the Clackamas.

A blog by Tom 'n Kate. PDX Pix - July 2012. Sorry, I'm a little late on the July update. In July we had a great Independence Day weekend/week visit from our Bay Area friends, I did the Seattle-to-Portland. 200 mile (2-day) bike ride with a group of 9 of us from Portland and Seattle, and of course we continued on with quite a bit of house and yard work. Summer in Portland is beautiful! Kate works on putting the floating cork tile floor in the kitchen. Ann and Adam excited about their Deschutes tasters.

A blog by Tom 'n Kate. PDX Pix - August 2013. I'd readily go back some day. Other than that, we spent a lot of time around Portland, working on the house, visiting with friends, and nesting away waiting for our new arrival in September (or maybe October? Here's what we've been up to. Check out the mutant carrots we got this year. Delicious, but often unusually shaped. Along the food theme, here are Kate and Carla at a Latin cooking class. Some nature in our yard. The bees loved these flowers. Kate at the...

A blog by Tom 'n Kate. PDX Pix - September 2012. September. Indian summer here in Portland. Some of the highlights:. Made lots of fruit "extracts" from the large quantities of Yakima fruit that Anonymous brought from Yakima. These are basically simple syrups made out of fruit pulp instead of water. We mix them with seltzer to make delicious semi-sodas. Flavors include lime, apricot, cherry, peach. We finished installing the kitchen cork tile floors! And the raspberries kept coming and coming! PDX Pix - S...

A blog by Tom 'n Kate. PDX Pix - December 2013. Santa costume. Hated it. Tried to eat beard constantly. The table is more full than it once was. A lot has happened since that snowy Cape Cod Christmas! Cold snap in Oregon. We had about 10 days straight of sub-freezing temps! Christmukkah at the Cram's. Here's our gingerbread house creation. Oscar likes to sit at the table with someone to see what's going on. Baby's first airplane adventure! With Aunt W and Cousin C. But beautiful as always.
