Isis' Next Big Adventure

The kids, Mary, Venture, Isis and I drove down to Eugene on October 29th for the day. It was time for us to say goodbye to Isis. She has needs we can't give to her and Geneva is going to help find a better home for her. She will be missed so much!

While we were in Eugene, we had some fun adventures. The park we visited was amazing!

Wet Dog Walk

We're re-homing Isis soon. I'm so torn up and sad about having to make this decision, yet it is beyond necessary. She's too much for us, and we are just not enough for her. She will find a home and humans to provide her with the lifestyle and nurturing that she will deserves and will forever thrive in. We will miss her so severely.

In the mean time, I will love on her. On this such day, she and I took a walk during an extremely intense rain storm. Neither of us minded. If anything, it was a very peaceful walk. No human interaction, very few cars, cool weather and lots of energy to burn.

I'm 38

Jonna, Val, Cyndi, Tony, Eva, Sergio and Amber came out with me and Armando to celebrate my birthday.

Pokemon Pillowcases

I picked up a couple pillowcase sewing kits for the kids the other day. I want to keep teaching them how to use the sewing machine so they feel comfortable using it on their own one day. The kits I got didn't come with very good instructions, so we found a youtube video that we followed along with and the kids sewed together their very own pillowcases! They were so proud of their sewing skills - and I am so proud of them!

Ash Is Falling From The Sky

Ash is falling from the sky. Layers of ash cover the cars, the ground, the plants. Sound outside are a bit different, almost like when it's snowing, yet this is eerie. The forest fire up the gorge along the Columbia River has spread so much and become so dangerous, it is tragic and it's damage will become everlasting. The sky is hazy, the air quality unbearable and yet we are many miles away. It is the biggest wildfire that has been this close to us. We have even had a brief moment of considering what we would do should the fire reach Vancouver. Chances are minimal, but still worth considering.
