Baby Shower for Sara

Baby Addison is a doll. Sheryl is a great mom!
Addison laughs, plays, and is very content.
She is going to be a spitfire just like her mama!


Sheryl, Sara, and Kari. Kari flew in from Denver.
Yes, Sara is 31 weeks pregnant...you can't tell!



Colleen, Sara, and Sara's Grandma Marie, from Senora.

Baby Boy things!

Sheryl and Linda gave a great shower for this new baby.

Everyone had fun playing games, meeting new friends, and

lunching.

Thanks girls for the great time!

We're baaaaack!

I know it's been awhile, but we had a small software problem that kept us from accessing the internet. Procrastination being one of the things I'm reeeeally good at, it took three weeks or more for us to exhaust the number of friends we thought might be able to help us and get someone who really knew what they were doing. All better now and I think we can remember how to prevent this in the future. Life being what it is....just as we get the computer back the camera issued it's last mechanical whine and went to the great electronic recycler in the sky. It was time, it had been through alot. We have a new one on order and hope to have something interesting for you shortly. In the mean time, in order to satisfy your cravings, here are some random pictures taken about a month ago.

We went to Clovis Fest a few weeks ago. It's a really large street faire with music etc. Came across the Greyhound Adopt. Cen. booth. This is of interest to N and M as they were wanting to adopt a Ghound. They decided against it sensing that the bus would overwhelm their parking space.

Seeing no old busses there we realized they were adopting out dogs. They are very sweet animals, known as "40 mile per hour couch potatoes".

Not all of these dogs were racers. At least one had been used for hunting. If you like giant lap dogs, these guys are for you.



Nathan came home for his 10th HS reunion. I don't think he's changed much. He had a good time and reconnected with a lot of friends.

While he was home we had a hardware problem with the computer, unrelated to the later software problem. He replaced a part which turned out to not be the problem but was an upgrade. Later he found the problem and it was an easy fix. We thank him and all our other mid to lower level computer experts that we call on.

Family elevator portraits are the best.

Our friends Larry and Jeanine. Is that my pituitary you can see?



I'm driving down Fargo one day and in front of me I see the Big Orange Shaved Ice sign on this Blazer. I figured I get a good shot of it at the stop sign but he turned so I just snapped it. I had just sold Annie's truck with that same sign on it and didn't know there were anymore out there like it. It confused me totally. Still don't know who was driving or where they got the sign.

Happy 24th Birthday, Cory!

This cute guy turned 24 today! Little did we know what an amazing young man he would become!

Enjoy another year! We love you, Cory! M&D

It's about time......

Went to the market tonight. Thought I'd take some random pictures because there has been absolutely nothing else even remotely blogable for awhile now.



Dotty didn't go.

Ran into the Tolles. Al was Marlene's boss when she taught adult school. His wife, Ruth, is just to the left.

My favorite bench.

The band is The Wicked Tinkers. They are a Celtic group and really entertaining.


Play that didgeridoo mate.

LB's Used Cars.....we get results!

After a solid six hours for sale on the street, Lyle of LB's used cars, moved this truck. No smog, no wash, nothing and it was gone. We do get results for our customers and after a small 50% comission everyone seems satisfied. I think I can move a black Scion if a certain party is interested.

This is Lee the new owner of Annie's former truck. His dad owns Miliniches body shop. Hey Annie remember going down there and getting a bid to fix it? Circle of life I guess. Anyway, I'm happy, I know Cory is happy, I hope Annie is happy and Lee is very happy and everyone lived happily everafter. Goodnight.

Rome wasn't built in a day.....

In the interest of fairness and equal time, C and A wanted to make sure that the "after" pictures were shown. They worked for 3 weeks and succeeded in selling, giving, storing and throwing away all the stuff shown in a previous blog. This was one big job.

Two yard sales on succesive Saturdays got rid of an amzing amout of stuff and made them some good money that helped pay for their trip.

The AARP was there to make sure no senior citizens were injured during the yard sale.

Nice job. I had my doubts it would all get done but you made it.

I'll fly away.........

That's a lotta luggage and it's heavy too. Plus backpacks.

The wheels on the truck go round and round.

The truck was almost stopped before Cory made it inside. No really we said our goodbyes curbside.

What else is there to say......
