The Chrisses

Once in awhile I look back over events in my life. I think about people I knew in the past and present and one name seems to reoccur. This name, or a derivative of it, has been present at just about every junction of my life. Of course you have probably guessed it by now.

Worth a thousand words

This pretty much says it all for me.

Faith and science

I was having a heavy rap with a very wise and cherished friend of mine yesterday. She in turn has a friend who is a scientist. These are her observations about him.

Cory in Action

Cory is a blur of energy. He has discovered the joys of the indoor temperature-controlled Burger King jungle gym. Where else can you climb to new heights, make friends, and run around in your socks?

Name Calling

I knew this would happen.
My husband popped up with another bird name out of the blue this evening. Keep in mind he is in a computer-driven industry when you hear this one…

Mother’s Market

I am a huge fan of organic and whole foods. So when I grocery shop, I go to Mother’s Market in Laguna Woods, or Whole Foods in Tustin. I read labels and am very picky about what goes into my body.
Anyway, I went to Mother’s today to pick up a few things I needed. Since [...]

Gobi is coming home

Our new Orange Chin is coming home on Saturday. He is one of the three on the right, we’re not sure which! This is a picture of him and his fellow Brotos (Brotogeris is the species of bird) at the breeders where they were recently hatched. He’s only a few months old and just weaned. [...]
