Kellie & Paul's Wedding

And now for the big event: Kellie & Paul's Wedding!

The big debate leading up to the wedding was "Who's Wearing a Tie?". Well, shockingly few men wore a tie. Or not so shocking, considering the Everetts. I was one of the few wearing a tie. I had a nice linen suit for summer events, so I figured it would be silly not to wear it to an event in Yuba City. And I wasn't going to schlep a suit all the way to California and not wear the whole enchilada.... go on »

The Sutter County Cemetery

On the way out to Lovey's, Scott drove us by the Sutter County cemetery and pointed out that our birth father and grandparents are buried there. After lunch, both Sis and I wanted to drive back and see Keith Sr's grave. I had never seen it and Sis had only been when she was very young.... go on »

Visiting Uncle Scott and Aunt Grace

Sis and I got a chance to visit Uncle Scott (from my father's side) and his wife, Grace, while we were there. This is only the second time I've seen him in the past ten years.

They took us for a drive through the Buttes (my first time driving through them) to a restaurant/bar on the Sacramento river called "Lovey's". It was a great location that had it been anywhere else in the world, would have been packed with boats and swimmers. Thank god there are still places like Sutter County in the world.... go on »

At Beth & Charlie's

For most of the rest of the week, we stayed at Aunt Beth's & Uncle Charlie's.

Uncle Charlie has spent most of his life working at John Deere. Hence, there is a LOT of John Deere paraphernalia around the house.

Charlie took Lorenz on a ride on a "gator". For you city folk, it's a four-wheeled utility vehicle made by (whom else) John Deere. Here's more information: http://www.deere.com/en_US/ProductCatalog/GC/category/GC_UV.html. Lorenz went NUTS getting to ride in this. Just about the only two words that he said crystal clear the whole weekend were "marshmallow" and "gator".... go on »

Out at Buck's Lake

We drove almost directly from the Sacramento airport to Buck's Lake. It's about 45 minutes from Sacramento to Yuba City and then another 2 hours to Buck's Lake.... go on »

My cruelty knows no bounds...

I posted this photo as an experiment. Does my mother ever visit my site? My hope is that she starts hearing "nice photo" from her brothers and sisters before she finds this. It is a good photo of Lorenz. And just to help her out, I bumped the date up to something more recent.

Send me an email, Mom, and I'll be happy to take it down!... go on »

The Baby Invasion of '06!

In August of 2006, my sister, Christine, came to New York for a conference with my five month old nephew, Lorenz. We got him to ourselves over the weekend, so we hired a baby-sitter: the sitter of a friend of ours, Rhonda. And to add to the excitement, Gogo and Oz's breeder came to town on Saturday with her husband and their 8 month old baby, Ian. It was to be known as...... go on »

Trip to Oregon: Dinner at Home

The next day, we decided to take it easy, make a nice dinner at home, and invite friends over. We started with a look at the grill. I knew we could do much better, so Mom and I went to Home Depot and we got ourselves a new charcoal grill. And of course, there's no sense in throw the same old briquettes on a charcoal grill, so we got a starter chimney and some real wood charcoal. Man, what a difference it all makes in the flavor.... go on »

Trip to Oregon: Day at Lincoln Beach

One of my goals during my unemployment was to get back to Oregon for a visit. And if I was going to get everything I could out of Oregon, that meant a trip to the coast.... go on »
