Today was a great day for a hike up Ice House Canyon to the saddle. As for the hike, it is not that far in miles. However, in the 3.6 miles there is an elevation gain of 2,660 feet. The hike is a nice hike as the start of it is next to a stream. […]

Grandpa Willard George Rogers was born the 2nd of June, 1912 in Kanosh Utah. He had his 100th birthday earlier this month. He passed away today and soon will be laid to rest in Kanosh. Just some quick pictures of Grandpa with his great grandchildren. Emily with Grandpa and Grandma Rogers in […] Another year has passed and another Fathers Day is already here. Father’s day always brings memories of dad. He passed away a few days after father’s day three years ago. This year thoughts are also turned to Grandpa Rogers, who turned 100 this month. Unfortunately, he took a sudden turn for the worse and is […] Emily and I went for a walk this evening. We made it from the house partway up Mt. Rubidoux and back home. It was about three miles, a trip that I was told was just a little too far away from a bathroom. Go figure. Then again, I do not have someone hanging out on […] It was a nice Sunday evening and I asked Jacob if he wanted to go for a walk. He said yes, when he finished a level on Roller-coaster Tycoon. Soon enough we were off to the base of Mt. Rubidoux. We got out of the car and walked towards the gate. Jacob put his ear […] I have mowed the back lawn off and on for almost 20 years. I have mowed around in a rectangle shape or diagonally across. I have never used the crop circle approach. It is good to use a different path as not to create tire ruts from repetition. Perhaps on my next day out to […] Tonight Jacob and I walked downtown towards the roar of hundreds of automobiles taking to the street for a Friday evening cruse. It reminded my of when I was younger and we used to drive up and down the same street cruising. The first stop for Jacob was the brand new Hyatt hotel. He had […] For the past couple of days I have been wearing clothing that looks like it is from the 1800 for a pioneer trek reenactment. Tomorrow the trek finishes. Tonight I picked up Jacob for a visit. They had a square dance caller and Jacob did a lot of dancing which surprised me. As for […] Today I had the opportunity to be at one of Jacob’s track meets. He did well and set a personal record for the 1600 meter run. A few days ago I posted the picture of the Hostess products in a basket. Why would anyone fill a basket with hostess products? Well, is I said that my 22 year old married daughter filled the basket with Hostess products, would that be a better clue? How about, she seems to be craving Hostess […] One would wonder why the big basket of Hostess products. Then again it could be a clue . . . I just received a text message with the finished mask. I think the painting crew came through. It looks like Jacob and the two young ladies will have a complete Puerto Rico festival mask to turn in tomorrow. Blogging has been light the past few weeks because I have spent a lot of time preparing one of your rooms for our daughter and her husband. Emily is preparing for nursing school and wants to lighten her work load a couple of days a week. SO with that said, there was a lot of […] I have had hiking to the top of Mt. San Jacinto on my list of things to do for 2011. The idea was to get to the three tallest peaks, which are in three different mountain ranges in the year of my 50th birthday. Mt. San Jacinto was the last. Yesterday I committed myself to […] Today one of my coworkers and I decided that we needed to have an afternoon meeting out of the office. Goals, technique and staying on target were some of the topics of discussion. Relaxing and breathing along with squeezing of the trigger were important topics as well. For this outing we had Jacob, my […] |
