Well, Kimberley-Anne – I can honestly say I have never heard of Bend or met anyone from there! Did it Bend or was it on a Bend or was it named after an explorer called Bend?
December 29, 2007 at 5:45 pm
I honestly couldn’t tell you, I’m sure you could find it on wikipedia. It’s famous for being right by Mt Bachelor, it’s a big resort town basically.

The name Bend was derived from “Farewell Bend,” the designation used by early pioneers to refer to the location along the Deschutes River where the town eventually was platted, one of the few fordable points along the river (Wikipedia)So now I know!

how was Four Loves by C.S. Lewis??

I actually haven’t finished it yet… I’ve been so focused on school this semester, maybe i’ll read it over spring break, you’ve inspired me.

I LOVE Bend (and Sisters, and Redmond) and have considered moving there in the past.
I applaud you for your restraint in the cursing department. Sadly, I have cursed, sworn and would have even hexed someone if I’d have known how before. It never ACTUALLY made me feel any better. So you’re one up on me there.
You have great taste in movies, but why the number three? I find two to be so much more balanced.
I like your blog as well, very nice to meet you.

Bend is great! We still have a house down there, and family so we visit quite frequently. Sisters wins the battle when it comes to great towns though… it’s just so cute!
Haha, well I’ve been raised in a home where cursing at someone is just unacceptable. And even if I felt like being a rebel, I don’t have the guts.
The number three…. well it’s a long story. Pretty much I just feel as though things are always better in threes. Such as gifts… I can’t just get two things for someone– must be three. Friends… always more fun when there are three rather than just two, and with four; one or two end up feeling left out (especially true among teen girls). It just seems more whole. Plus there is a lot of weird conspiracy stuff surrounding the number. And from a religious perspective– the father, the son, the holy spirit. Therefore, it just feels like a magical number to me I suppose.
Thank you! Very nice to meet you as well! I look forward to reading more of your work.

My friend always tells me, “your mom installed your buttons so of course she knows how to push em!”

Thanks for the post on my blog! I have been secretly in love with yours for a while now
It reminds me of my friends at school, and it makes me nostalgic for Washington State ( I used to live there).
April 27, 2009 at 11:28 pm
Haha, you should have commented!
I love finding new readers, basically just to know that I’m not writing this and no one is reading it. hehe. Where did you live in Washington?
April 28, 2009 at 1:20 am
lol. I guess I’m blog shy? I lived all the way up in Bellingham. Was going to go to WWU but through a series of events decided not to, but I loved it there so much I stayed for a bit, till I got whisked away by love to Alberta
April 28, 2009 at 7:36 am
That’s awesome!
that frantz art place… there is one of those in my home town… haha is that the same thing?
April 28, 2009 at 3:54 pm
It’s in Shelton yeah- same thing
I never made it out that way, we were going to go to Bremerton once but that fell through. I visited Seattle a bunch of time and even went to Bumpershoot, but most of the time I explored the San Juan Islands, and my friends and I would go to this old abandoned fort (can’t remember the name for the life of me) An hour or so south of B’ham. You ever go up there? Or to Mt. Baker- really fun snowboarding.
April 28, 2009 at 4:24 pm
Haha, that’s so funny about the store! I see it almost everyday when I’m home because it’s across the street from where I work! I haven’t been in though.
I love the san jauns! I’ve only gone up there once I believe… but it was beautiful. The abandoned fort… are you talking about port townsend?? I know they have the old barracks or whatever those are called. We went there my last day of my junior year in hs. Just a bunch of girlfriends and I… exploring. hehe. Good times. 
April 28, 2009 at 10:56 pm
You should stop in the store next time you’re back home. I bet its pretty inside:). I figured out the place is Fort Casey on Whidbey Island. There are these chambers underground, built into the side of a hill, that we went and explored at night. Very creepy!
April 28, 2009 at 11:47 pm
I should.. how did you find it? what do they sell there? haha
that place sounds cool! i should go!
April 29, 2009 at 12:21 am

haha that’s so random! such a small world that you would find a glass shop in my town haha and my blog… such a small world!
July 16, 2009 at 6:12 am
Cute blog! I was skimming the blog and read that you live in Shelton. My family lives in Lacey, WA, and I moved from there almost over two years ago. It’s a small world after all.
July 16, 2009 at 2:56 pm
crazy! it is such a small world
where do you live now? did you like lacey?
July 17, 2009 at 6:10 am
I live in California now, back home. Lacey is a cute town! To what I remember, Shelton is small! Do you like it?
July 17, 2009 at 2:55 pm
haha it is small… but I do like it. It’s close enough to everything where you don’t feel like you’re in the middle of no where.
October 21, 2009 at 4:10 pm
I have been following your blog for a bit now and I have enjoyed everything. Your pictures, ideas, and words are wonderful. Thank you for sharing…

Thank you so much!
And thanks for sharing that you read 
I love finding out who’s out there, and of course I’ll be stopping by your blog now!
October 21, 2009 at 5:42 pm
Hey, I would love to pick your brain about the formatting of your blog…I am still struggling to make mine, well, a bit more original and certainly prettier. Help! Please!
Thanks,

Kim – i’ve read your blog and feel well enough acquainted to ask you out for dinner. And maybe the movie ‘Avatar’ afterwards if you’re into blue aliens like I am. For dessert, well, I’m getting ahead here but will roll the dice and suggest deep fried elephant ears – some call them scones. We can sprinkle moist jelly drops across the top then each eat our ways from opposite sides to the scone center where we finish with a kiss. yeah, let me know…
