nobody@vox.com(The Parkers) — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 16:05:10 -0800

Here's a great eight minute video from NPR featuring stream restoration in Oregon. I'm not even sure where Knowles Creek is, but the work that the USFS is doing is really similar to work that I've done for the BLM. The only difference is that w...

State Meetings, Oregon Driving & Yard Work

nobody@vox.com(The Parkers) — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 15:07:15 -0800

It's been a really fun week! A week ago Sunday I picked up a rig from work and drove it home. I had a nine hour drive in front of me on Monday and I didn't want to waste time in the office, so I just brought the rig home with me. On Monday mor...

2009 Ashland Halloween Children's Parade

nobody@vox.com(The Parkers) — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 16:47:28 -0800

This parade is sooo awesome! This is the third year we've gone and we've never been disappointed! This year was probably the best we've seen - even though Dohnele and I didn't dress up this year. It didn't hurt that this year there was a zombi...

Beautiful day... Plus ice cream

We had a beautiful day today; got up to 70 degrees and was nice and sunny. I spent the morning weeding the lawn, pruning trees and bushes, raking leaves, mowing the lawn and then edging the lawn. Yes, I am mowing the lawn in 70 degree temps at t...

So much going on!

nobody@vox.com(The Parkers) — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 22:21:34 -0700

We've been soooo busy these past few weeks that it's hard to figure out where to start. And unfortunately, I've only got a few pictures from work to post. I'm going to try and be brief since I need to get to bed. I finished up a big restoration...

Fun with house, dad and grandparents

nobody@vox.com(The Parkers) — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 17:03:14 -0700

It's been a super busy past ten days! As soon as the grandparents left, Dohnele's dad showed up for ten days of riding his Harley all over the state (well over 1,000 miles in a week). When he wasn't riding his bike, he was helping around the ho...

Grandma and Grandpa Newbill drove down to spend the weekend with us which was a lot of fun. We spent most of the time just chatting and catching up and playing with Emma. One thing Grandpa wanted to do was see if we could find a gravestone of my...

This Past Month

nobody@vox.com(The Parkers) — Sun, 13 Sep 2009 01:02:26 -0700

Things have been pretty hectic around here - in a good way! We're all moved into our new house and out of our apartment! We also had Dohnele's family down for a visit. And then there's work and all the extra-curricular work that comes with owni...

By this time we were entirely moved into the new house and needed a break. We took Dohnele's family to Elkton and to Tomaselli's for brunch which was scrumptious. Then Dohnele's mom and I sampled a few local wines from Brandborg Winery. The two...
