A series of books are being pre-printed about Bishop decendents. The volume that is coming out follows descendents of our Jacob's brother. I think volume 7 may relate to our Jacob Bishop. Make sure that you read all the details on the pre-ordering page closely!!

The author runs a group on Yahoo as well, and really like it if you are related in any way, if you'd check us out and join. the name of our Yahoo group is Bishop_Bischoffresearch Group. They welcome new members!!

Snow, Snow, Snow and King of the Mountain

Can you see big brothers in the distance (you may need to click on the photo to see them well)?

This mountain of snow is the result of the parking lot snow being pushed to this side of the pavement. It had been much higher, but rain and a warm spell helped reduce it.

Thomas started to sink into the snow & Daddy had to come to the rescue.

Isaac wanted me to catch his jump in Mid-Air. My photo does not do his feat justice.

From "Chill" to "Cold"

It is hard to believe that I just returned from a visit with Julie in Southern California and only to return to snow, snow, and more snow. But that is just the way it is.

Not that is feels frigid - it doesn't. We actually had all the snow off the lawn for the first time since before Christmas. But the following day - more snow. I am thankful for a week in the sun. Julie took me to see the Pacific Ocean. It was fun to watch families playing on the beach, to see the buggy boards, and watch a very cool dog race to catch the waves. I only took a few pictures and really wish I had more. Julie has a nice little patio. She wants to post photos of her apartment after she hangs her photos.

We took the dog for a walk in a nearby park. The goose was honking like crazy and walked right up to a lady (out of sight) on the blanket.
