Van Dyke Times: May 2010
http://vandyketimes.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Just tryin' to figure it out before Quinn does. Monday, May 31, 2010. Hubby lost new camera while hunting for morels this weekend. Now we have two camera chargers but no cameras. I see the humor in it, still. Going back to La Grande has become more bitter than sweet. The hole that friendship has left in my life colors everything. Still struggling with this job, finding a way to love it, finding a way to make it into something I can love. Because the police know the kid (19) who did the burlary (fingerpri...

Just tryin' to figure it out before Quinn does. Friday, February 26, 2010. Valentine's weekend found my brother and nieces visiting again. I made heart-shaped brownies and the kids decorated them. The brownies were Dense and Huge, but the kids just plowed ahead. Caught this on one of my trips outside. Seems that since starting work I spend my free time cleaning and doing work inside on the weekends. Going to have to find a different way come spring and summer. Saturday, February 20, 2010. Quinn decided t...

Van Dyke Times: March 2011
http://vandyketimes.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Just tryin' to figure it out before Quinn does. Sunday, March 6, 2011. I'm thinking that it is time for this blog to come to an end. I just don't have the interest any longer, especially as those I've been doing it for seldom drop by any more (most likely 'cause I don't drop by like I used to, but for whatever reason, I think it's time to stop. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Poop and pee start with 'P', and they need to go in the potty, which also starts with 'P'! Mama needs a new car! While in the bathroom).

Just tryin' to figure it out before Quinn does. Tuesday, February 15, 2011. Miscellaneous to an Extreme. Trying to catch up here, so don't mind the randomness of these pictures. Quinn was a big help this year taking down the tree. This is a tough one to explain. Apparently he fell on his Bottom, bruising it a bit. Asked for the ice pack. Wrapped it around said Bottom. Erick wanted a picture. Boy tried to avoid same by running, which I'm sure hurt the sore Bottom. This is the last page:. Out to lunch....

Van Dyke Times: Post Christmas Glow turns into Birthday Bonanza
http://vandyketimes.blogspot.com/2011/02/post-christmas-glow-turns-into-birthday.html
Just tryin' to figure it out before Quinn does. Tuesday, February 1, 2011. Post Christmas Glow turns into Birthday Bonanza. The Day After. The only toy that got any attention was the Polar Express train. Around and around and around and around and around. It gave me a headache, to be honest. Working on a project with Grandma and Daddy. For his birthday (Dec. 31st) we took a trip to Newport to visit Grandma Judy. Went straight to the waterfront. Quinn thought this chair was the coolest thing. Then out to ...
