Another Mini-Vacation

This afternoon and evening Lauren and I spent some time in 1795, drinking tea, playing Whist, enjoying company and dancing.  This evening’s events were held at the Sherwood Tea House in Sherwood Oregon (go figure).  Lauren and I actually really like Sherwood – very quaint and quiet town – very appealing.  I think I’ll look into dentists there.

I am just finishing building a computer for my parents.  It is to replace a 13 year old (almost 14) computer.  I think they will be pleasantly surprised at the new found speed.

I sent out 40 letters to dentists in and around Vancouver WA last week.  I don’t expect to hear anything from any of them, but it’s a good exercise to force myself to really think about my future.

Here are some pictures from this evening.

This is a 16.3 horse.  A feisty lady!

Too Long....

Sorry for not posting lately - not much has changed. The main thing that has changed is that I may have West Nile Virus. I have some type of viral infection and I have most of the symptoms of West Nile. I was out of commission for 3 days - feeling much better now. Lauren and I went to OxBow Park and I know I got bitten by mosquitoes a few times. They drew some blood yesterday and it'll take about a week to get the results back if I do indeed have West Nile or not.
I went to the eye doctor this morning and renewed my prescription - a little stronger and what do you know? I can see! I also decided to get a back up pair of glasses.
Not much other than that changing. I have just about one year left until I'm done with school - should all things go according to plan.
We are still thinking of living in Vancouver Washington when I'm done with school - avoid the extortionist taxes here in Oregon.
As far as church goes, Lauren and I have decided to stop going to the one we had been going to. They brought in (and fully support) this local author who wrote a book about environmentalism and how "God is green". Which we whole heartily disagree with. God does NOT care about the earth - it is after all going to be burned up in the end. He created everything (EVERYTHING) for us, for mankind. He cares about our relationship with Him, THAT is the most important thing. To be honest I always had some reservations about this church, I wasn't sure why, but I just never felt 100% right with it. So for now Lauren and I read the Word on our own on Sundays and aren't worrying about finding a new church. That is just one less thing to worry about and thus less stress on us.
Until my next post....
