Deodorant Scandle!

Here is exhibit one: This deordorant was in a hit and run accident on Friday night August 25 of 2006. From what I have learned this brand is highly addictive and will cause boys around about the age or 11 to act out violently. Especially if found in the hands of their brothers. Just the thought of it being put anywhere near their brother's highly offensive arm pits is enought to incite rage. And this time it did.....





































This is the owner of the above mentioned deodorant. As you can see he broke his hand trying to save his beloved deordorant from his brother arm pits. The brother blocked the owner's fist with his knee....


Here is the mug shot of the offender and his weapon, the knee cap.
Let this be an example to everyone. Please keep your deordorant away from this man.

In the good ole USA!




















Here is just another cool thing/animal we was in the U.P. I spotted this beautiful eagle looking out onto Lake Superior. I got a few pictures then we watched him fly out, almost out of sight, onto Lake Superior. He came back shortly after with a fish in his claws. He flew so far out we couldn't see him. So how he could see a fish is beyond me. I guess that's why we say "Eagle eye" for someone who is very observant.
The first eagle I ever saw was here in Ohio at Charles Mills lake. Then this spring there was one in Sandusky looking out over Lake Erie. The one in Sandusky was very close to a bar. In typical Ohio fashion they had built a deck onto the bar for drinking and gauging at the eagle.
It's so amazing to see one in the wild like this. They were dangerously close to extinction and now we can see them in Ohio. It's a wonderful animal that represents the great USA.

He CAN walk on water!














For those of you with teenagers, you know what I mean when I say that sometimes they think they can walk on water. They get smarter and you get dumber...by the minute sometimes. Well my son now has proof that he can walk on water. Great, that's all I need. Speaking of him, he started his first day of high school this morning. He was so excited. I guess I was too since I was woke up at 5:30 and school was all I could think of. As he was walking out the door and across the court I couldn't help but remember when he did the same thing in kindergarden. Man has he grown since then. I can't believe I have tears in my eyes as I write this.....boohoo.
He was equally as excited then as he is now. I hope he doesn't get disappointed.

On Vacation in the U.P.














Here we are at Munising Falls in MI. We went to 5 different falls while we where up there. And by up there I really mean UP there, in the Upper peninsula. We were 22 miles from the nearest city. But that was OK, because it was/is beautiful in this part of the country. I believe this is the falls that we hiked 1.2 miles to see. Yes, I hiked! I have never hiked before, I usually drive. But my body could use more hiking.

She Likes It!

I am sooo happy, She likes it. If you have a cat you know how they can be. I knitted and felted this little bed for her. Here it does look a little small but it isn't. She likes to get in small spaces. This is actually the second bed I made for her. The first was very small and might fit a kitten. So yes, you have to knit to fit, even for a cat. That sucks. But since I had quite a bit of yarn left over I just went for, willy nilly and made up the pattern as I went along. That is very freeing.
Everyone should try that, free style knitting. That should be an Olympic sport, don't ya think.
