up north

Here are a few pictures from our trip north. A little fishing, a little horse feeding, and a little bird/squirrel feeding. Also spending a little time in St Cloud catching up with some old friends, riding burros, and hanging out in the street. Just a few housekeeping issues...Not sure if it's the laptop or the camera but some of the pictures are a little washed out. Also, blogger thinks that burro's look better sideways. We are terribly sorry for any inconvenience.

A Rainy Day and a Trip to the Park.

Had a free day to enjoy a little rain.

The next day we all piled in the car to go help water the flowers.

Erin found some pretty flowers to take a picture of.

Birthday fun

Well, another wonderful birthday in the books. Got a few fun new toys, one of which I will be sharing with you in new and interesting ways in the very near future. I just need to practice a little...and try to get the darn thing to work on our desktop.

I also learned a wonderful new song on my birthday this year. It may very well be one of the greatest songs ever written. Let me share it with you. The sound is a little grainy but you should get the idea.


The Beer Song

On that note, I had a great birthday. Let's do it again next year.

PS, haven't quite figured out how to embed an MP3 so this link will have to do for now.

Winter is officially gone.

Here is a photo of our new neighbors. Mama Robin was not at all pleased with me up in the tree. I thought she'd give up after a while and settle down...but she did not.

Warm weather also means the return of Sunday morning coffee time on the deck.

Sleeping with sunscreen in your hair can make for some real special bed head.

New haircut, new dress, new shoes.

So we have a wedding or two coming up this summer and Avery is the flower girl in one of them. This will be her first attempt at "between the toes" sandals so a little practice was in order. It was also a good picture of her new haircut. This was actually her first cut that wasn't just a get the bangs out of the eyes cut. She was very proud of it.
