It Snowed

It snowed!  Started around 11am and snowed continually until just a few minutes before 5pm.  A lovely soft peaceful snowfall. 

I told Token he was an Oregon dog now.... he went out and at first stayed close to the car.

After muttering wuss under my breath (and snapping these pics from the protection of the covered porch ) he was soon out and in the snow covered grass.  His short legs had him scampering back into the house as soon as he was done.

NASA Johnson Style is a volunteer outreach video project created by the students of NASA's Johnson Space Center. It was created as an educational parody of Psy's Gangnam Style. The lyrics and scenes in the video have been re-imagined in order to inform the public about the amazing work going on at NASA and the Johnson Space Center.

"NASA Johnson Style" Lyrics:

NASA Johnson Style
Johnson Style

Welcome to NASA's Johnson Space Center
We are coming in hot so don't burn up as we enter
We do science everyday that affects your daily life
Throw them up for manned space flight

Science everywhere
As we engineer the marvels
That fly though the air
And take us way beyond earth's levels

Science everywhere
Because we engineer the marvels
That fly though the air
Flys us through the air

Control the mission out of Johnson
This is ground, hey!
And this is space, hey!
Tell me Houston what's the problem
It's okay!
It's okay!
Because there's flight controllers on the job today

NASA Johnson STYLE!

Orbiting earth, international space station
Where we work and live in space with a crew from several nations
Got Japanese, and Russians, that European charm
Throw them up, like the Canada Arm

Kicking out research
29k cubic feet, revolves around the earth
Science microgravity, revolves around the earth
Columbus, JEM, and Destiny
Kicking out research
Kicking out research

Train the astronauts at Johnson
To go to space, hey!
To go to space, hey!
Cause the missions of tomorrow
Start today, hey!
Start today, hey!
As we engineer the future day by day

Jules Climbing

Jules Climbing

Hard to believe that she is 20 months today! Grandbabies sure make time fly by fast!!!

Cold Water

Cold Water. Put down your liquids when ya press play -- Token almost was wearing my coffee.

Last night was the first night I've gotten down below freezing -- was 30.6 last night. Weather dood is predicting tonight will be just as cold, if not a wee bit colder. It was a clear cold day today. On our travels down to Scappoose today, Token and I saw Mt. Hood, Mt. Adams and Mt. St. Helens, all gloriously clad in their new white cloaks. Made me wish I had brought my camera - something I don't ordinarily take with me when going for a latte.

Weather dood is predicting high clouds tomorrow with rain starting Wednesday. Rain is forecast for every day through the beginning of next week.

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

Jules Loves Spaghetti

 Jules Loves Spaghetti. Hard to believe she's gonna be 19 months in only 4 days.

Jules - The Dancing Queen

My 18 month old grandaughter dancing to Taylor Swift on Good Morning America. Jules also sings a little bit too.  

Jules reminds me so much of Jen at that age.   Heck, she's reminded me of Jen at every stage so far :)    Wonder if she is going to want to dance in those old dance costumes of Jen's when she gets old enough... I think I've got them in the POD safely tucked away in my grandma's cedar chest. 

Hippo Birdies Two Meece

Hippo Birdies Two Meece....  hopin' for mini s'mores....

H/tip Dede for the video

A Grand Bug

What a little cutie!  Jen sent me this photo today. 

Portland

What a great video about Portland. 

Stuffed Bell Peppers

Jules likes her mom's stuffed bell peppers. Watching this video, I am reminded how much I miss Jen's cooking.

It sure doesn't seem like 17 months has already passed since her birth. I remember when I would get the weekly notice from Jen about the size of Julsie before she was born and am wondering if bell pepper was one of the size descriptors used...
