Two Little Girls...

...and one big water tower.

Happy Birthday, Seth!!

So what's the most fun part of birthdays?

Apparently, it's lighting the candles...

...and taking pictures of the birthday boy.

Mardi Gras Dog Parade

What do you think? Is this dog having fun?

When I Went Out Walking

I found myself in need of getting out of the house today, not because anything is wrong, but because I was getting a little stir-crazy. So, I ran some errands and went to the park to go walking. There's a nice trail there, and it has a lot of little wooden bird houses along the way. On a whim, I decided to look inside one of them. Imagine my surprise when I found a SNAKE in there!! I swear I did not scream, but I must confess to jumping a bit. Thankfully, it didn't move, or I'm sure I would have jumped right out of my skin, or else gotten bitten right on the nose, or maybe both! So, that was my startle for the day.

I wonder, was it the aftermath of a sad story of a snake eating baby birds, or did somebody kill a snake and stick it in there as a joke on unsuspecting travelers such as myself?

Internet Withdrawal

Due to a mistake by workmen from the phone company, we lost both internet and phone service at my house for the past couple of days. It was quite a shock to this girl, who does banking, shopping, communicating, reading the news, Bible study, research, and even my job all online! I tried to pretend I was on vacation, and the whole thing was probably good for me, but I think I may be proof that it's possible to be addicted to the internet. However, I'd prefer to think of it as just the way I'm used to doing things. I appreciate it more now, that's for sure!

Heard at the Lunch Table Yesterday

"Where was Frederic Chopin born?"

"Can you define the word 'a' without using the word in the definition?" (Go ahead, you try!)

"Someday I'm going to have a baby boy and name him Riboflavin!"

"I wonder who invented Vaseline?"

This is one reason why we keep the dictionary and the encyclopedia in the dining room!
