You know you are in Kodiak when....

  • When traffic reports are replaced by the FISHING REPORTS
  • The water on the floor mat in your car is frozen
  • You automatically remove your boots when entering someone's home
  • You use flat-rate priority mail boxes more than envelopes
  • In Winter, you know who is taking their Vitamin D and who isn't
  • If you don't already have auto-start on your vehicle, you wish you had it
  • You know what a Coastie is, and it doesn't mean you live near the beach
  • You know what Xtra Tuffs are, and you have some
  • You have to do the Kodiak Stomp before entering a store
  • Just because you have a ticket to fly, doesn't mean you will actually leave that day--"weather permitting"
  • It's cheaper to buy DVD's than to have cable TV
  • Store clerks actually wish you a "Merry Christmas"
  • You hear people complain about having to drive "all the way to the other side of town" (10 minutes)
  • Traffic congestion is 3 cars at an intersection
  • Your car doesn't have a chance to warm up before you arrive at work
  • When looking out the window is more reliable than the weather forecast
  • You go to work, church, and shop with the same people
  • Driving a rusty car is "no big deal"

St. Valentine's Day (and Oregon's 151'st birthday as a state)

Matt brought home a lovely bouquet of flowers
Lori was able to make two bouquets to enjoy

The house was decorated with paper hearts, living room kitchen, doors, and entry way

Happy Valentine's Day to all our Peeps! We have friends and family on our refrigerator :D

Rhodie Trip

During our weekend at the southern Oregon coast, we enjoyed the multi-colored display of Rhododendrons.

They were in bloom throughout Honeyman State Park, as well as out in the community of Florence. The 3rd weekend in May is the annual Rhody Festival. We missed the events by one week, but still enjoyed the flowers!














Some are as tall as trees
