NW visit 2012....

Love that my brother Sam's family can visit this year!  Hike up to Multnomah Falls!

What's up?

I'm here.  My brother called and asked why I have not blogged in a week?  "What's up?"  he asked.  I had my bff Grace unnie come visit me last weekend, and this weekend I have ENK's second sister and family are here from New Jersey!  In between I cooked, cleaned, went to my usual gatherings...busy busy.  This driving across town back and forth is wearing me down! (We're seriously thinking about creative options for us to drive less next year!)

A week goes by waaaaay too fast these days.   I was going to post a nice picture of my permed hair.., but didn't get a chance.  I love my PAMA hair.  I  can keep it curly or just wavy.    But it's hard to tell because I always put my hair in a pony tail!  

We have this "Spring" forward this Sunday.  I don't look forward to this.  It's so hard to get the kids up in the morning.  Lind leaves at 7 am. each day.... yikes!  On Sunday, Komo's family leaves at 6 a.m. to EWR from PDX.  But since the day light savings, it's actually 5 am, right?  We need to be at the airport at least an hour early, that's 4 a.m., which means we leave the house at 3:30?  Or if they want to be there an hour and half earlier, then we have to leave at 3 a.m.?  What on earth?  

Cousin Davy got this shirt for Randy!  This LINSANITY shirt may be the only one here in Oregon!  He proudly wore it today! 

Gpa Kim brings gifts....

Grandpa must have gone to those Korean ART BOX stores... got these cute gifts for the kids... all wraped up in K style gift wrappers! He always travels in style!  88 and looking great!

Perry Boys Smorgasboard.....

Perry Boys Smorgy was the official name of this cafeteria style restaurant. We always went to the one in Pasadena but there were several other locations in Southern California. This was where I had my first taste of "American" food. We frequented this joint in the late 70's, early 80's.... My brothers loved this place too. They got their trays and went straight to the fried chicken, fighting for the drumsticks... and yes, all you can drink soda and soft serve ice cream! Our parents sat with their circle of friends and we sat with our friends. Only if they knew how we played with our food and how we helped ourselves to bottomless soda pop.... I think it was like $5.99? $6.99 for all you can eat for adults so it was pretty cheap! The interior was nothing fancy, with vinyl half circle booths and cafeteria style lighting over the food... We gorged on spaghetti, corn, mash potato and gravy. For dessert, I would help myself to a bowl of red/green mini jello squares and vanilla sheet cake! How did this Perry Boys start and end? What else do you remember?

Little bit of this...

Little bit of that...


Waited for snow all morning... got 5 minutes of fluffy white snow and then blue skies...

Week with Daniel....

Daniel is ENK's nephew from California.....



Randy enjoyed Daniel Hyung's company the most...  Daniel didn't get to go snowboarding but we had a great time.  He attended uncle's 44th birthday bash, played two great nights of poker (He won the pot on New Year's eve), attempted to fish on the Clackamas river, and ate good food.  It was a great week with you Dan!  Come visit us again this summer after your graduation!

Happy New Year!

Opps, it's January 2, 2012. I'm having a great year so far.... :) Lindsey went to school today. She complained that her school was the ONLY school that had session in the whole state of Oregon today. Allison and Randy return tomorrow. They have been sleeping late and waking up so late... I wonder how I will get them up tomorrow morning. Randy played hockey in the morning, golf in the afternoon and basketball after dinner... when we told him to go to bed, he didn't make a beep... he went up and fell asleep right away. We have ENK's 21 year old nephew staying with us for a week. It's been fun having a big guy around the house... Daniel and I will be going fishing tomorrow on the Clackamas River...
