Are you a Duck or a Beaver? We are Beavers of course with two of my brothers going to Oregon State University, Larre and Bruce, and two of our sons going to OSU, Joshua and Ben. Josh graduated summa cum laude in civil engineering in 2008. Ben is a junior this year in pre-med and studying hard. So we are Beavers.


But we should also be ducks. Not UofO ducks, but ducks of a different type. If someone is unkind, we should do our best to be a duck and let it slide off our back like water off a duck's back! So let's be both beavers (if you can be!) and ducks!

It is time to write. It rained yesterday! It has been a hot summer with a number of fires started. So what a blessing to have rain! Thank You Lord! And how nice to blog again! I recently read that to those who like to write, writing is like breathing...you must breathe and you must write! So again thank You Lord for this blog. My brother-in-law in Spain blogs and in Spanish and this reminded me to blog more. Just some happy recent times! We had our annual family camping trip August 20-23, 2015, at Lake of the Woods.

Bowdoin Bulletin 2011 Dear Family & Friends Much Loved Far & Near J As I sit here by the warm fire at our heritage home with Terell reading about Tim Tebow on his phone, we greet you all with love and our 2011 Bowdoin Bulletin. I am blessed to receive the first Christmas letters from Sheldon & Judy Shaw and John & Susan Harrigan and decided to take a break from other things to sit down and share with you. Four of our children have traveled to/been in other countries this year: Jonathan & Kathie made a business trip to London and Paris in September. It is always a special time.
