Haley Takes On Sallye

Haley, putting a move on local celebrity Sallye Alexander. Sallye is the star post player for the Forest Grove, "Lady Vikings" basketball team. She received a scholarship to attend Humbolt State University, California. This evening she put on a post player's clinic. She invited Haley, telling her it was good to know all the positions.

Love At The Beach

If you click on this picture you will see that written in the sand is, "Nick (heart) Cindy". Well Annie just squatted over Cindy so, "Nick (heart) Annie!" [the real Cindy is just beyond Annie, and looks a little confused as to why someone is stepping on her lover's artwork.]

Very nice picture of Annie and Haley enjoying the nice weather at Seaside, Oregon.

Myself and Annie. Haley takes the picture. (Seaside, Oregon)

Another picture of Haley and Annie at Seaside, Oregon. I like it!

Haley and Annie on the boardwalk in Seaside, Oregon. A little later Haley will be playing in her last basketball game of the season.

okay, okay, I shoulda taken the picture when all was pristine, but this is the only full picture of the room I have. The website for the hotel said there were vcr's in each room so I brought a couple of taped movies along. It turns out the room has a dvd player. Didn't bring any dvds along. But all is well, they have cable tv and it was very nice!

4th floor balcony with furniture.

The view out our window while staying this weekend in Seaside. Haley is playing in her last basketball tournament for the season (they took second place). We stayed at the, "Ebb Tide" motel in a new wing. I liked to keep the sliding glass door cracked so I could smell the salt air and hear the ocean (okay, and the sea gulls!).

Gas fireplace in the corner of our very nice room. We stayed the weekend at Ebb Tide Inn. The girls really enjoyed this hotel, especially the swimming pool down on the first floor.

Highlights of Pete Maravic's 68-point game

"Pistol Pete" Maravich is a great inspiration to Haley. She has his "Basketball Homework" sessions and is incorporating them into her workout schedule.

Kind of cool in Black and White, yes? 

Here is Haley receiving her "Outstanding Player of the Game" certificate from Head Coach, David Bromagem. 

I Was Bragging About My Pancake Skill

I was helping Haley "Carb Up" for her big day of basketball today, telling her how I had finally mastered the art of making perfect pancakes. A few moments later this is how I flipped one of her pancakes. Guess I still need some more time to get this right!
