Don't tell Mom

the rest of vacation and other adventures

Well i stayed in town, Jeremy and Susan went to Seattle suburbs for good times. i missed them dearly while they were gone, however i did have a new adventure of my own. This new adventure if you must know was I got a tattoo!!! Please, oh please do not tell my mother, i have given that wonderful women to many gray hairs. Tattoos hurt, but not to bad. i have really enjoyed my siblings they are great and i would be unbelievable lost without them. On the other hand my by marriage relatives have been a wonderful experience for me. My "in law" relatives, although our relationship is different, i would not give them up for the world. The dogs are great, Kloie is becoming quite the old lady, but she still has more energy than Ludwig.

dia day los dos y tres

Day three of my vacation was pretty fun! Slept in, drank coffee, and went shopping! I awoke to an empty house, just me and the dogs, oh so nice. Had an easy slow starting day which eased into an afternoon at the GoodWill where many deals were to be found and oddities to marvel at. Following the bargain hunt I arrived a home and began to cook my mothers' famous clam chowder with the help of my mom in law. We decided to invite the whole leaperclan which turned into chatter and laughter. Naomi and I played scary mean ghosts, while Katie was the nice polite ghost (Oh that Katie). Following our delicious dinner we (the leaper women posse and a love) went out for flashlight fashion in the Alberta art district, the styles were flashlighterific, but a little spendy following the earlier bargains at Goodwill. Local is always better and deals were to be found if only you were willing to sort through the triple digit price tags.

Day two the day was filled with errands and doldrums, however I did manage to have lunch at Dot's, one of my favorite Portland bars. The evening was just right for the movies, Jeremy, his mother,and I went to see Religulous this movie sums up all my feelings on religion, run don't walk to a theater near you!!!

Vacation Day One!!!

Hooray I am on vacation! Most of it to be spent at home (Portland), so I thought you might like to come along. Today Katie and I are cleaning the house (oh the excitement), once that is done it will be time for some fun. To get the rest of you motivated to start some fall cleaning, watch the following clip. Cheers you bloody cheeky bastards

Portland adventures

Well we've been in Portland for some time, but have not posted much. Portland has been good to us lots to do, lots to eat, and of course lots of Leapers. We have had a couple of visitors, unfortunately not enough pics, so everyone who has come needs to get back here. Work is definitely challenging, but the days off are great. Enjoy

Man I got a long way to go

What was the world's longest pogo stick jump?

The idea for the pogo stick got it's jump way back in 1919, but it wasn't until 71 years later that the current longest pogo stick consecutive jump record was set.

On May 25, 1990 at Huntington Beach California, Gary Stewart started pogoing and didn't stop until May 26, 1990, after 20 hours and 20 minutes!

After all was said and done Gary Stewart managed 177,737 consecutive pogo jumps and claimed the world's longest pogo jumping record.

Wendie is really leaving this time!!!

On Monday evening bring your favorite game and lets have some final cheers!

Come to the Shack (5201 Folsom Blvd) after 6:00 and that is where the fun will happen.

If you have any questions give me a call (916 838 2645), hope to see everyone there
