Touring the Olympic Peninsula: Aberdeen, WA part 1 – Morrison Riverfront Park

Tuesday August 14, 2018 by
Aberdeen, WA is where my mom and dad both grew up. I honestly don’t know it that well, since thanks to my dad’s job I moved around growing up. I’d say that I split my childhood between eastern WA and southern CA, but most of the years that I can remember were spent in eastern

Little known beautiful places: Johns River – Westport, WA

Tuesday August 07, 2018 by
This isn’t in the photos, but it’s foggy and cold this morning in western Washington. It’s the weirdest summer I’ve ever experienced — foggy, frigid mornings, cool days, and then freezing nights! It’s not very pleasant for a desert creature like myself, but it’s quite nice to sit inside and write in my blog a

Fossil Hunting at Lincoln Creek

Tuesday July 31, 2018 by
Recently, I’ve found myself thinking more often than not about the past – mistakes I’ve made, where I could have done better, things like that.

Visiting Halloweentown!

Sunday October 22, 2017 by
Sometime over the summer, I saw a video on Facebook about a little town in Oregon where it’s Halloween all year long. Halloween? OMG YES, I LOVE HALLOWEEN! You’re not the only one dressing up for once, so it really doesn’t feel awkward to let your geek shine! Especially now that “sexy” halloween costumes aren’t

Raccoons and life

Sunday February 02, 2014 by
RACCOONS!!!!! Raccoons came to “our” door! (I don’t really consider this place my home, but I am staying here until I get on over to Hawaii. Can’t beat free!) Okay, it was a while back, before it snowed, but they were there and so freaking cute, playing around the wood pile. Everyone hated them except
