Sunday, May 15, 2011


Hello everyone. I got busy and lost track of time for a little while, sorry about that. Things are going good here. The weather has finally has gotten good enough I have been able to get out and about in my 4x4 chair. I made another attempt at getting into the woods but the trail needs some work before I can get very far. I was able to get down onto Whipple Run, the little creek behind my house. I've been going down there since I was a little boy, and I've been finding arrowheads since then. Even paralized and in a wheelchair I'm still able to find arrowheads. I think it's part of a scraper blade, not sure though. My class has been keeping me very busy, but I've only have a few weeks left. I'm doing good in it, but it's been hard leaning how to communicate my ideas for someone else to write. But of course that was the idea behind taking the course in the first place.
Shilah turned a year old this past week, and she's not sure what to think about the creek. She''s not very fond of the deep water, I know that for sure. I'll get a good photo of her on here real soon. On a sad note Sebastain hasn't been around for awhile. He was a six year old tom cat though. He was a good cat and he's be missed. Any name suggestions for another male tabby? I've always had a cat and I still have Dewey but he's got an attitude (but don't all cats) and doesn't hang around people very much, he loves Shilah though. Well I got class tomorrow. Till next time, thanks for reading.

  1. Sebastian was an awesome cat! Maybe he still is, I guess you never know out there in the woods. For new names you can continue the Little Mermaid theme and use Scuttle or Grimsby. I found a guy on Facebook whose name is Sebastian Dewey. Weird. And if you do a Google search for Dewey Shilah your blog comes up on the first page!

    Anyway, how about Wilson? Ezra?

  2. Glad to see a new post, I'm sure you are as busy as most this time of year. Hope you get your trail cleared so you can go to the woods more. We love going to the woods in the spring, although this spring was to wet, to get out much. Keep up the good work with your class.
    I like Eli for a name for a cat!! can't wait to see pictures. Best of luck. Jeanne

  3. It was good to see you four wheeling down the road! I was amazed when I saw the picture of your find at the creek. I've been walking that creek on occasion for nine years and have yet to find an arrow head. Lets hope it dries up so that you can be on the road and trails more often. I'm glad you posted again.

  5. Good to hear from you again! I certainly hope you're behaving better at the end of your classes than my 4th graders are. Any summer classes in the future, or are you taking the time off to explore your woods?

  6. Cat names: Arrow, Pumpernickel. Laurel suggests Cinnamon (and she can spell it, which is better than I can do). Ohlone is an Indian tribe from around here (sorry, I'm stuck on the arrowhead theme), also Miwok.

    Glad you're able to get to the creek!
    Cheers,
    Heather ("Ezra" Mike's sister)
