  • Coincidences? Not to me!

    my "baby" got married         This "baby" got married today!

    I often say that I don't believe in coincidences – I believe that all things are related even if they may not seem so to others.

    For example – my son got married today – to his long time g.f. – presided over by a judge at the marriage court in Chicago.  [No one there but them as they will do a ceremony and reception in Oregon this summer]

    Today also marks the 7th anniversary of my buying my house in Portland Oregon!

    My son was with me here when I put in the offer but had gone back to Chicago soon after and I am not sure he knows the closing date. [Everyone in the neighborhood knows as it was the day before the blizzard of 2004.]

    If I had not moved to Portland, he would not have been here to visit me one summer and meet his now-wife…so no coincidence that the dates match – it was already in the "scheme of the universe."

    There are so many more universe schemes at play but those are grist for another mill – or another post…

  • You Can Take This House With You

    Living in a floating home has some benefits. You CAN actually take your house with you…..

    only if you can find a new place to moor it [and that's getting rarer by the day.]


    This short clip shows 2 floating homes going to new spots….

    Enjoy – and please comment below – thank you

  • Calm before the storm

  • Sheba the Cat

    These two are sort of making friends….

  • Sheba and the ducks

    Sheba the cat loves her duckies.  When she hears the words duck or duckies or hears them quacking she wants OUT! 

    And then they play this game.

    The ducks never go far from the boat ramp and actually use it a lot for "lounging"  ever so slowly sliding into the river if the cat or dog gets a bit too close.
