Why am I posting a thing like this on our family blog? Maybe it will help others that are having a similar problem with their blog. I use WordPress as my blogging software. Lately, my software updates have been failing. Blogging software and other web/Internet software needs to be updated when there are discovered vulnerabilities just like other software. I also use something called Jetpack that provides statistics and other functions for my blog. It also needed to be updated and was failing. OK, I am going to get a little geeky here, so if this is of no interest to you, then thanks for stopping by.
To fix this:
First, log into your web site administration control panel however you do it. For me, it is cpanel. Get into your file manager and find your plugin directory.
Find the jetpack directory inside your plugin directory and delete the whole jetpack directory.
Do a plugin update if required.
Do a WordPress update. It took quite a while for me. If it asks you to do a database update, do it.
Click the photo to see pictures from our Hiawatha bike ride.
On the week-end of August 23-25, 2013, most of Carol’s family got together for a 60th birthday party for her brother Doug. We rented the Savenac Bunkhouse at a bunk house at Haugan, MT. We then went on the Hiawatha Rails to Trails bike ride. It is a 15 mile bike ride. Some of our group were more adventurous and traveled another 8 miles to Avery, Idaho. John’s Dad and Mom lived in Avery after they first got married in the 40′s when Dad worked on the Milwaukee R.R. At that time there were no roads into Avery, only the train, on the very trail we traveled, through many tunnels and over many trestles. Click HERE or the picture to see photos from our fantastic week-end.

Can Funerals Be Good? I’ve been to a few funerals that were really good, and Dad’s is now among that list. While we will all grieve at his loss, we don’t grieve as the the world does. 1 Thessalonians 4:13 says “Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope.” Here are pictures of dads “good” funeral. We love you and will see you soon. -John

As a gift to our graduating seniors (Katie, Desire’ and Terry), we all took a fun trip to Seattle June 1 to June 8, 2013. We attended Terry’s (Desire’s boyfriend) graduation, and soon after the event, we wisked him away for the trip. The trip included: Silverwook Theme Park, Leavenworth Washington, Tour of Boeing, Woodland Zoo, Pacific Science Center, Space Needle in the day and at night, Monorail, Experience Music Center and Sci Fi Museum, Ferry trip to Bremerton, Puget Sound Navy Museum, Tour through USS Turner Joy, Pikes Market, Ballard Locks and fish ladder, Golden Gardens Beach, Argosy Harbor Tour, and Underground Seattle Tour. That is a lot of stuff to cover in a week! We also spent a little time visiting a few relatives. Sorry to all that we didn’t get a chance to visit. We were too busy playing tourists!

P.S. I strongly suggest you take a look at GIMP if you like creating and editing photos. Many of the edited photos and graphics on this web site were tweaked or made with GIMP. If you use a modern operating system like Ubuntu or some Linux flavor, GIMP is probably in your repository (Software Center on Ubuntu). If you use an outdated and restricted operating system like Windows, go to the GIMP web site and click “Download” then down the page some, click “Show other downloads”.
