Clamming and Fishing

This past weekend Charles and I went camping at the North Oregon coast. Our boss and his wife invited us to go clamming and fishing with them (and some other people). I actually enjoyed clamming - it’s kind of like a scavenger hunt. Fishing is… meh. I’m not really a fan, plus I just felt really bad for the fish.

Here is a video Charles took of me clamming. This was from the first day and the clams really grossed me out (I did end up eventually touching some). Oh, and I totally did step on them.

Here is a video of us fishing. Mine got away as I was reeling it in and Charles ended up catching a keeper.

I know, I can put together quite an outfit. Hey, it was cold!

BONUS: I never did post this video that Charles made of his trip to the Bagby Hot Springs (which is in the Mount Hood National Forest).

Beach Vacay

Click here to check out the new photos in my Flickr stream. Most of them are from our mini vacay to the Oregon Coast this past weekend. I’ll keep the photos public for awhile so you don’t have to log in to see them.

Tatum

I finally uploaded some photos of Tatum. Check out the Flickr slideshow below or go to Flickr directly to see them. As a little kid stated while we were at the library, “She’s ADORABLE!”

RIP Penny

Yesterday Charles opened the hen house to get the eggs that the hens laid and he discovered that Penny had died. He said that she had no wounds so she must have been sick or had something physically wrong with her. She always was the runt. We gathered up the rest of the chickens and gave her a proper burial. Yes, I do realize this makes me crazy but what can I say - I’m an animal lover.

You will be missed, Penny!

When two become one

So it finally happened… Charles and I combined our blogs!  Why did we do this you may ask?  Well, in the past year Charles has maybe updated his blog twice and I rarely updated mine.  I felt like it was a bit overkill for us to both have our own blogs when we so rarely updated them.

My goal is to update more frequently now.  I cannot promise that it’ll be at all interesting since let’s be real here - we are just a boring ‘ol married couple.  But I will promise to post more frequently than I have in the past year.  If it’s boring then simply refrain from clicking on over here.  It’s a choice, ya know.

To see who wrote each post (if there is any confusion) then you can look below and it’ll either be in the ‘by Ronda’ or ‘by Charles’ category depending on who writes it.

Example:  I, Ronda, wrote this entry.  When you look below it says ‘by Ronda’.  Expect more awesome tutorials in the coming months.

This website will also undergo more changes as soon as I nag Charles to do it.  Currently the header photos are just the stock photos that were included in this Wordpress theme.

Thank you and visit often.
