When the Rodeo Comes to Town

at 08/19/09 2:52PM

Well, the Rodeo/Clackamas County Fair is in town this week. It is that time of the year again. The fair grounds are only a few blocks from the house, and so we have to be careful not to get caught in the traffic overload. It is not too bad if you stick to the back roads and avoid the main drag. It is nice though to be able to walk right down to the fair grounds without having to park and go through all the hassle most of the other folks have to put up with.

We plan to go later in the week, probably on Friday when both of us will have the day free. Sandra wants to ride some of the rides this year, so we will have go earlier in the day in order to make the usual rounds before the rodeo starts at 7:00. Fun stuff!

P.S. For those of you who are members of the Hunting group, there is a post up that I would like you to take a look at. Thanks.

Oh, fun. I think I'm getting too old for most rides, but I can still relish a rodeo. There must be some cowgirl in my lineage somewhere:) Enjoy!

I've been to that fair- about 10 years ago- liked the native american show. Have fun!

I didn't know that you guys had been to Oregon. What brought you up this way? I'm sure it wasn't just the rodeo/fair (even though it is a good one as far that sort of thing goes).

I like the native American set up too...especially how that the head Indian there seems to always have his cell phone and laptop out whenever I pass by. Its probably not planned, but it is quite funny considering the environment they are trying to create.

Sounds like it will be an enjoyable time! Have fun!

I know it is springtime...

at 04/10/09 4:33PM

...when I get this itchy feeling in the back of my throat and start sneezing with unexpected regularity.

Otherwise, I would have to go by the flowers.

Indirectly, I suppose I do anyway.

Sounds fun. For some reason, it's always the worst for me during the summer.

Time for another update

at 09/02/08 7:06PM

I suppose folks were starting to wonder how I have been so active on pleonast recently if the internet was still not working. It has been back up for a while...I just felt like writing on places other than my blog. :D

Hope everybody had a good Labor Day.

Peace.

i did!
love you...:)

by fullofgrace at 09/02/08 10:36PM
John and I live in Central Park across from FC a few buildings over from where you lived. How have you been?

by karileeresto at 09/03/08 8:16AM
So, does it rain every day where you are?

by emmybear at 09/05/08 7:39AM
At certain times of the year.

...when the internet is not working properly.

The internet at the public library works just fine though. That is, if this is all that I am posting...which it is.

Peace to all.

sorry i missed your calls!
i'll try to call you again soon when i get a few minutes.

love you!!

p.s.

how old are you now?

by fullofgrace at 08/19/08 7:39PM
Take your age (as of Dec. 10, 2008) and subtract two years. There you go.

by grizzlytwelve at 08/19/08 10:29PM
There are no cell phones allowed in the library. :D

by grizzlytwelve at 08/19/08 10:29PM
Good to hear from you Adam. Nice way not to tell everyone on pleo how old your sister is. Good brother. Not that you are old...dough!

by slave_of_jesus_jdb at 08/20/08 9:46AM

Is your internet related to the Projector at Church?

by operationchaos at 08/28/08 12:02AM
No...but it has the same operator. :D

by grizzlytwelve at 08/28/08 1:57AM
Hey I just wanted to say I appreciate your thoughts on the collection thread.

Take Me Home, Country Roads

at 06/03/08 2:42AM

Well, the wife and I are going home to see the folks for a few days so I will most likely be away from pleonast for a week or so. It will be nice to have a vacation...besides getting married I have not had any extended time off since I moved to Oregon in 2006 and began working with the Canby church. Not that I have suffered or anything...everybody knows that preachers only work two days out of the week anyway. :D

That last comment was just a joke...I actually hate to leave my outside Bible classes. We have several regular studies going during the week but I suppose things will have to go on without me for a bit.

This will be Sandra's first time to visit WV...and it is a good time of the year. It should be nice.

by samngloria at 06/12/08 10:37PM
that was our plan all along :)....actually they fell from a tree and didn't have a mommy..I just found out today that my parent's let them go in the woods, makes me sad :(

by shellbell at 06/18/08 4:45PM
Yes, I have read those books. Actually, my Dad read them to us when we were kids. That way he got to censor Harriett's colorful language. Are you back in Canby?

by sugarcane at 06/24/08 6:26AM
its hollywood-everything is unnecessarily complicated-lol

by emmybear at 06/24/08 9:14AM
not that I really care what hollywood does-it just sparked a thought for the blog-how was your trip?

by emmybear at 06/24/08 9:14AM
hope we didn't scare you with our hillbilly-ness. lol ~Kaitlin Lauer

by smiley_face at 06/25/08 11:37AM
hey you might be interested in the book on 'Ward's blog, check it out

by coulter at 07/01/08 3:03PM
Adam I found "Cletus take the reel" and posted it on the "country music lovers" group if you wanted to check it out again.

by operationchaos at 07/12/08 3:36PM
No news of baby Emma yet - lets all go to Kristins blog and guess Emma's birth time, weight, and length for fun!!!

by spinningbee at 07/28/08 10:58PM
Yeah, the training came thru as we were filming, we just kept going.

by ryan_s at 08/04/08 3:21PM
does oregan have state wide healthcare?

by cowboybrian at 08/06/08 12:20AM
Adam, might I ask for you feedback on my new 2 Cor 3 post?

by slave_of_jesus_jdb at 08/11/08 4:03PM
Adam, I don't know if you read my comment to you about "now" not being in the Greek, I checked and was mistaken. "de" is there too, but "nun" for "now" is there as well. Sorry.

You are right about the way I take verse 13, though.

by slave_of_jesus_jdb at 08/13/08 8:15AM
yes, i still have dogs...2 labs and a mutt...although the labs are pretty much useless, except as playmates for the kids :)
