Working on my Blog

Facebook and exercise blogs have taken me away from this, my original blog, for a long time. But now I'm in the mood to maybe do something with it again. So far I've updated photos and sidebar information. Next I'll work on some posts, and showing off some of my photos...so stay tuned!

DoRe' said...: Hi, Shirley--thanks for checking in! :) If you can make it, please do; admittedly, I'm mildly biased, but I think the group is pretty fabulous. :) They provide a nice soundtrack to my dreams of warm, sunny weather! ;-) Hope you guys are keeping warm; this snow's pretty amazing!

Take care, DoRe'; January 19, 2012 at 11:29 AM

Welcome to Our Place - Updated for Spring 2012

We live between Marysville and Granite Falls. Larry still works at Crane-Eldec in Lynnwood, but due to a change in his work schedule in February 2011, he is no longer in a van pool. Instead he bought himself a Ford Focus to use as his work car. Shirley is Mom, "chauffeur," and chief bunny caretaker. We have two daughters: Rosanna, age 20, and Caroline, age 17.We used to have two pet bunny brothers, Lucky and Thumper, who turned 9 years old on October 5. But Lucky got really sick, and had him put to sleep a few days before Christmas last year. So sad.... Thumper doesn't even miss him; he is happy as long as he is fed!

Larry and Shirley are really into running this year, qualifying for Half Fanatics in January. The Seattle Rock-n-Roll half marathon will be our fourth in 2012, and we would like to do four more, if possible, and move up in Half Fanatics!
Caroline is a junior in high school, and Rosanna continues to work at the Ralph Lauren Polo store at Seattle Premium Outlets in Tulalip.

We all continue to enjoy taking photos, and Rosanna also took a photography class at Everett Community College last spring. (We bought her a Nikon DSLR for the class). She has made some money doing photography for a local business in nearby Granite Falls last fall. And I am still using my super tiny Olympus camera for photos "on the run!"
