Don't be Stupid!!!

Don't ever sit down at your computer, when you are ready to turn it off for the night and go to bed, and think......I think I will just glance at a couple of blog posts from last year. DON'T EVER DO IT!!!!! Got my keyboard all wet and I can't find any Kleenex!!!!

Oh Yea!!!!!!

Way back in June, Norm and I went to the air show at Hill Air Force Base in Ogden. This air show is huge with many thousands of people attending. We had to park quite a ways from the tarmac, so had quite a walk. Norms brother got a little tired, so we decided to stop and just sit where we were. It was right out in the open with no shade and it was very hot, but a good show in spite of the conditions!!! Most people come to see the Thunderbirds. They are a team from the Air Force that fly for shows like this and create publicity for the Air Force. It is an awesome show, and the pilots are really good.

These pictures make clear, how rotten a photographer I am!!!


Them little suckers are fast!!! I couldn't catch them!!!!

See the "dip stick" whose head is right in front of my camera???? I got a really good picture of him!!!!

This ding dong was just a few feet away from us and must have waved that "thing" in our faces for 15 minutes and believe me, it got much worse!!!! He was supposed to be taking care of his baby that was in a stroller, but I think he was trying to make us move!!! I got so sick of looking at this that I took a picture. I don't know why that made me feel better, but it did, knowing that it was going to end up on my blog!!!! There turkey, that's what you get!!!!!

Need a lift!!

I am so tired, I need something to cheer me up!!! Look what I found!!! Now, how can you not be cheered up by this face????

I sure do miss him!!!!

Here you go Jake!!!!

Norm was talking to Jake on the phone a couple of weeks ago, and telling him that he was doing some body work on our truck. By the way, you may want to ask Jake why we needed to do some of that body work!!! At any rate, Jake wanted to see pictures, so here they are!!

I think Norm got into it a bit!!! Do ya think????? I remember when Norm was still going to speech therapy (they also work on memory) and told the therapist that he had taken apart our riding lawn mower and got it back together...and it ran!!! The therapist was amazed and said that we didn't need him anymore...and that was our last visit!!!!

I'm wondering if we shouldn't get in touch with him again!!!!

This fender has your name on it Jake!!!!!

There are parts all over the yard!!! I wonder if, when he gets it back together, if it will look like a Ford, or a Chevy??????

O.K.!!! It's time!!!!

I pretty much have ignored my blog, most of the summer. Not because I want to!!! Just happens that way.

It has been a good summer..not too hot, and not too cold!!! Just right! I was worried about my garden when we had that long cool spell in June, but it has come on with a vengance, at this point, so, that would give you a pretty good idea about what I have been doing for the last little while!!!

Three cases of rasberry jam, but I gave one to someone! 35 quarts of pickles! I never want to see another dill pickle!!!
Two laundry baskets of onions! 21 pints of green beans! Dried peppers! 15 quarts of tomatoes!



Believe it or not, I really hate canning!!! Norm and I made a deal in 07 that if he wanted to have a big garden, that he would have to help me can the stuff! Then, in 2008 he was sick, but insisted on having a garden, and we couldn't keep up with it, so most of the stuff was given away. So this year, he has just escaped!!! Not!!!! Gonna have family counsel on that one!!!


But, all in all, the shelves are filling up and it is somewhat of a comfort that at least we will have green beans, onions, tomatoes, rasberry jam, and pickles!!!!
