Mushrooms

These are my fairytale mushrooms. I took these pictures in my front yard. I have never seen one of these mushrooms in real life before. I thought they were just make believe. Like the drawings you find in fables and other stories.

Five things that most people don't know about me.

1. I don't have a lot certain favorites. If you were to ask me what my favorite color was I would say I don't have one I would say I have like 5, pink, purple, green, white, yellow, and brown. Ok that was more like 6. See I don't have just 1. I also don't have a favorite book (I have too many to list), I love too many movies & songs, I just like food, desserts (we will just not comment), restaurant, flowers, etc.

2. I have been to the tiny island of Siapan.

3. I have always had a secret (and I mean secret) desire to be a singer, a dancer and a gymnast. I was told by a sixth grade teacher that I didn't have the voice to be a singer. I never lived in one place more than a couple of years so we never did dance or gymnastics. I never pushed hard enough either.

4. I worked in 2 different pet stores and wanted to own every pet there ever was. I don't anymore.

5. I have always been an excellent speller and at remembering phone numbers and now with old age creeping in I am losing something I prised a lot. It is very depressing.

Now to tag some one else:
Since there is only one other person who reads this it has to be JEN!

How can you not stop and admire the majestic scenery around you everyday? Even if it were as small as a child's smile.

Nao

My Naomee being silly! She was so cold and wrapped up in so many coats that she looked like the Hunchback of Notre Dame.

Happy Birthday!!!
Make a Wish!!

Jen and Duane getting birthday wishes from Red!!

Vegas Weekend

On my way to Vegas, (on my Harley) I ran in to a good friend (on her Harley). We decided to hang out for the weekend and play around. It turns out that it was her 30th birthday so all the more reason to celebrate!!!

Blood VS Water

I am sure everyone is aware of the old saying, "Blood is thicker than water". And I am sure if you ever went to High School biology class you even proved that it was true, but so is oil and so many other things. And I am sure there are so many things out there that might even be thicker than blood.
I am having a hard time with this concept, I would love to think that it wouldn't matter whether, you have the same blood running through your veins biologically to stick by someone, or to help them out, or to call them sister or brother. I would love to think I am not the only one who thinks like this either.
I hear a lot of times people using phrases like, "she is my ONLY sister". Maybe because I don't have any sisters I don't know what that would be like, but I do have an only brother. I also have a lot of really dear friends and in most cases when talking with people they think I come from a very large family, because of the way I talk about them. I have had numerous people taken back, when I tell them I have only one sibling, and it is because I care so deeply about so many people. My blood is not even thought of in those "friends" as blood or water.
I know some times our deepest hurts come from those we love the most, but I think those are the ones we should be willing to forgive and forget the fastest with. It may just be the water that will wash away the blood in the end anyways! But don't let the water and the blood be the problem or the difference. I have so much family in my life and I don't even know where the blood ends anymore, I think I will leave it that way!

Aunt Jenn's Wedding

All Dressed in White!!

The girls and one of their cousins got to be flower girls for their Aunt Jennifer, Shawn's sister, wedding. Naomee's wearth was giving her trouble before the walk down the aisle. It was a lot of fun watching them walk down the aisle just before the bride came out.
