College Student Contemplates HotDog

I really don't know what the deal was with Rebecca and this HotDog.

Do the Right Thing

Election Day is only a few short days away and many, many people are still on the undetermined fence when it comes to choosing a candidate to vote for. Nowadays, it seems we are not voting for the absolute, perfect candidate, but simply the one who sucks less- the lesser of the 2 evils.

I want to help persuade some of those fence sitters to make the wiser choice. Some, like me may not know the whole stories behind a candidate's words or some are too young to remember a not so past history.

I have recently learned several things about both McCain and Obama. Let me just say that I don't agree 100% with either of them, but McCain definitely seems to be the much less scary of the 2. The future with him as President seems a lot less muddy, and whole lot more about what America needs to stand for than what Obama wants it to stand for.

Check out a few links here to get the scoop on what Obama is muddying up the future and the past with:

Coming to a BlogRoll Near You....

I'm thinking that I want to start another blog that contains only nature: wildlife, scenery, other non wild life animal forms, flowers, plants, sunrises, sunsets and any and all combination mixes of such. I want to leave my "showcasing" blog for family, friends and humans. My nature blog I might turn into a gallery type thing where people can order prints. NOTE to self: check and make sure this is legal to do on blogger forum.

You may see some familiars that I've posted on the "showcasing" blog, but I'm holding out some newer stuff as we speak.

Any feedback would be appreciated. Questions, suggestions, comments, criticisms-whatever. I'll probably have it look similiar to the existing one.

Stay tuned for the title and unveiling soon.

Thank you all my readers!

Wendy's Belated Happy Birthday Party

Wendy was out of the country(haha-Pennsylvania actually) for her birthday, so we had a belated get together in honor of her day.

Without fail, everytime we have a birthday party for Wendy, I never take pics of her-just her kids. Well I made sure I took REAL birthdayish pics of her (and got the kiddos included too...)

I don't think Jacob touched the cake after................

Fun and Helpful

Wendy hosted a lia sophia jewelry party and was trying to make her choices and picks from the catalog. Guess Anna wanted her opinion heard or make a few choices of her own. Needless to say Wendy was getting distracted-ALOT

This Life

Anna was WAAAy less enthusiastic about her pumpkin while Mykenna showed off her muscles with a bigger one.

She was content to color and even let Aunt Becca color along. A kiss was granted in return.

Did something get messed up? Couldn't tell if she was camera shy(yeah right) or she was being artistically hard on herself (or was it Aunt Becca who went outside the lines?)

Future MLB Pitcher?

Jacob has an awesome, very accurate fastball. He thoroughly enjoyed showing off his pitching style!

Wispy and FlyAway

Anna could be a "Breck Baby"...or a "Gerber Baby".... or --Who am I kidding? She could pull off any ad an agency put her in!

Molly Hasn't Seen You in Awhile....

4th Anniversary

4 awesome years and counting! Jerry sent these pale purple beauties to work for me. He's an awesome hubby and I love him lots!

I Never Thought in My Life........

I was invited out to an appreciation lunch by one of my bosses (and friend), Sarah.( Same Sarah with the goats.) We went to her favorite little bistro "Veronica's". Their menu is a fairly healthy one of soups and sandwiches with teas and coffees. Very quaint. On this particualr day the only soup that sounded appealing to me was the "Hot and Sour". Upon delivery to our table, I looked at it's contents and was happy to see what I thought was cheese chunks and potato wedges. So I made sure both were on one spoonful and unsuspectingly took a hearty mouthful.

Well the texture was spongy, mushy and the taste was deplorable!! I'm thinking ," This ain't no potato and cheese!" I graciously kept my cool and swallowed it. Upon closer examination of my bowl I was disgusted to realize I had willfully put a giant slice of MUSHROOM and chunk of TOFU---IN MY MOUTH!!!!!

Anybody who knows me, knows that that just ain't right! I did survive, but after relaying this story to my husband, he insisted on my gargling with mouthwash before I would be allowed a kiss. You see, neither of us are big fans of fungus or tofu and I was double wammyed.
I never thought in my lifetime......

Good Fishing in Homer

Kathie and Bob Brooks are a terrific couple we are fortuante to be friends with. I used to be Kathie's assistant while she was with Home Depot and Bob is the traffic control tower manager at the Kenai airport. We live on the same street and they have a boat. So they invited us out for some halibut fishing. It was a beautiful day and the Sadler's outfished the Brooks'. Jerry's reeling in one of his flat fish future dinners.

Kathie watches from her great top deck vantage point.

Bob helped bring the fish on board by gaffing it.

Otter Family Swim

On our way back in from our awesome day of fishing, we came upon an otter family enjoying the nice weather. The baby spent most of the time riding on (probably Momma's) tummy. Kind of looked like a swimming/feeding lesson.

Catching a wave.

Not the Only Ones Fishin'

We were fortunate to happen upon a couple of Minke whales feeding. They are magnificent to see.
