This blog is about life and times of our family. The picture above was taken at the Mendenhall Glacier, Alaska. A wonderful week in Alaska with Seth's sister Pamela and her husband Neil in Juneau, AK. It was our first trip in many years to spend time with them. Other than their wedding in 1984, and cruise stop overs since then, it was a long time coming. It was a wonderful trip, time with family, fishing and exploring the Juneau area.

Garage Sale Weekend
Greetings from the Finney family in Oregon. I thought I would start a blog to help keep our extended family up on what we are up too. So here ya go. Take care, God bless, and be a blessing to someone everyday, you will feel better for it. I know I do.
Well, we worked ourselves to death for the past three days. I home cooked every meal we ate for a change, couldn't get away from the house for three days....I take that back. Friday night Seth brought home pizza for the kids, and a gluten free pizza for us to try. Wasn't bad at all. Seth even thought it was ok. Alot of work putting together a garage sale...had lots of help from Skyler and Brittni though. For the last good weekend of summer in Oregon... Friday and Saturday was sunny and in the 80's. Saturday night it was windy and and rain came down in buckets. Got up at 7am to find the tent covers down from the wind. But the good news was all our stuff was dry under it. Sold most of the extra furniture (the rest went to Good Will) and one of our 4 wheelers. The garage is cleaner too with less stuff in it...Yippie!!! Seth is happy about that. It's getting time to start down sizing our stuff, we no longer need four 4 wheelers. Skyler and Brittni did well this weekend too. It was a joint effort.
Samuel and Lindsey spent the weekend prepping the house for paint. They got paint on the front before the rain started on Sunday afternoon. I really like the colors. A nice slate grey, and the planned trim is a dark green. Nice. The front looks really nice.
After garage sale clean up Sunday, and the weekly trip to get groceries, I made gluten free spaghetti, which was really good. Used corn spaghetti noddles Lindsey found for us, put that together with a nice salad, glass of red wine and you have a nice dinner. Yum, yum.
