More fun in the desert

May 28, 2012 – 1:39 pm

We’ve been having a blast the last several weekends exploring different parts of our desert. Weekend before last we went to Mule Canyon, near Calico Ghost Town. We had a great time exploring the rainbow colored mountains. For Memorial Day weekend we decided to go camping at Opal Mountain. Trip got off to a rough […]

Desert Mines and Mountain Streams

May 6, 2012 – 5:12 pm

We spent both days out again this weekend. Saturday we went back up into the desert in search of jasper. We found an old mine that was covered in jasper. Had a great time checking out the area and even came across an old miners cabin. The roof was completely gone, but the walls still […]

New Photos Added

April 21, 2012 – 7:06 pm

Just added over 150 new pictures to our photo gallery. We’ve been really busy recently, camping and rockhounding in the desert. Can’t believe we have lived here for almost three years and never gone out and explored the desert around us. If you haven’t heard, we’ll be moving back to Oceanside in August. We had […]

Summer is finally coming to an end (nice to get temperatures under 100 finally), the weather is starting to turn (nights in the 30’s already).  The kids are really enjoying school so far. Damian was […]

Moving, Vacation and More

July 23, 2011 – 11:10 am

So it’s been a while since I posted. I know – I promised I’d get better at keeping you all up to date – but life is busy for our little (ok- not so little) family. Since my last posting, we have had a visit from my dad and step mom Kim (Nana and Papa) […]

Diabetes & Lice

April 12, 2011 – 3:29 pm

Well – got my test results back today – and I have Type 2 Diabetes. I’m borderline, so it’s not completely out of control, diet should take care of it – but certainly not what I wanted to hear.  I’ll know in about 2 weeks whether or not I need to go on meds. We’ve […]

I’m 2 weeks post-op from having my hysterectomy. To say it’s been a difficult recovery would be putting it mildly. Full recovery will take 12-19 months, but the first 90 days is the hardest. I can’t bend over, can’t lift over 5 lbs, can’t take a bath… I could go on. BUT – I’m glad […]

The Death of Common Sense

February 11, 2011 – 8:09 am

Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as: Knowing when to […]
