red bluff trip

We made it to Red Bluff and back safe. The weather about had us stopped. Had to make a judgment call at the last min and hope my info was right and we got abit lucky. Wheather closed in and there was snow over the mountains going to Calif. We got there between the storms. sunday it was very bad and sunday we had a break in the wheather again. Monday it closed in again. Coming back there was about 10 in. of snow in the mount shasta area. But over the the pass was only about 2 in and melting fast. We had a great time.

PS

I plan on giving some pics of our trip to Toni so she can post them on here. Oh wait Toni you can pull them off my Facebook. :P

Life in Tok

Well I have not posted in ages mainly because I forgot how to sign in and make a post. Anyways in August the kids and I went to see my dad, it was a great visit and I know the kids had a wonderful time. We picked alot of black berrys and took the kids to a family fun place. The kids and us went to the Rogue River and they played in the creek by my dads house every day( even my dad got in on the fun, there are pictures on facebook). Every day we where there I watched my dad get better and better. It was nice to watch him heal and get stronger, God placed his hand on my dad that day in the store ( but i bet that 2X4 hurt) and I thank him every day for not taking my dad from me. On a sad note our long time family cat died the day before I got there however she was very old and I am sure she is kitty heaven. Kathy and my dad let us help them pick out a new cat which meant alot to me ( thank you). We are looking forward to spending more time with my dad and Kathy in the near future.
When we got back fall had set in and it was time to go hunting. This year we came up empty handed however Caribou season is still open and we hope to get a couple ( Trinity can now get her own tag sense she passed her henters ed course).
We are now getting ready for the holidays. I am going to do the black friday shopping again, this year in Fairbanks with a girl friend then off to Achorage for the Chrismas holiday. My mom is flying in so we will spend Chrismas with the grandparents and my mom will come back to Tok with us for a bit.
Trinity is playing hockey again, this year she is going to be goalie and Demitri has decided he wants to play ( talking about an expensive sport). Work is going well for however there has been some changes they are moving me out of my current posstion to become a CSR ( customer service rep) although this is not a move I would have wanted a year ago I think I am ready for this move now. My company is trying to train me in this field so in about five years when the current CSR manager retires I will move to her postion. If I stay in my old position the chances of me climbing the latter is slim so this is going to be a good move for me in the long run. At this time Jim is still work which is great usualy he is layed off by the end of October.
Well I think I have wrote a book of my life for the last few months so I should probably get going, I love every one so much and I will talk to you guys later.

bored

Well, I'm sitting at home for another day wishing I were working. Oh well. Won't be much longer. I have the go ahead for work starting the 26 Nov. WooHoooo. There was a possiblity that I'd be out till the end of Dec. I would realy hate that. The doctor wanted me to have a 25 lb lift limit on the left side. Work wouldn't let me back with any kind of restrictions at all. I promssed the doctor that I would keep it under 25 lb and he gave me the release for work. Summer wasn' t to bad because i could keep busy outside. But then that might have been the undoing on my 1st surgury from doing to much.
We are trying again for financing for the spring to replace the house we are in with a new manufactured home.
We are going down to Red Bluff this weekend to Kathy's sons house for a visit. Taking advantage of my time off. Once back to work that kind of oportunity will be rare. Thanks giving will be the usualy, just kathy, her mother and myself. Christmas will more likely be the same.
All for now
Bob

Just a little update

I'm currently at teh Walt Disney World Resort getting ready to jump in the shower, though am watching First Baptist Orlando on TV as it's Sunday.

Anyway just wanted to pop in and inform the fam and anyone else who reads that I will be moving back to the Kenai Peninsula when I get home from my trip with Erin. It's a triplex and I have it leased for just under a year. It's on the Kenai River, in Soldotna just up from Centennial Park. I'm excited and nervous all at the same time.

I will update later, but I am up and at 'em for another day in the parks. You can read our blog updates from this trip here - http://originaldorktwins.blogspot.com
