Some Of What We've Been Up To.

Whilst fishing on what I think was one of the last nice days. I had these beautiful damsel fly's dancing on my oar.
I caught three fish that day, not big enough to bother cleaning.

We started the landscaping of the dogs area. The weather has that project on hold.

Hubby made me some shelves for the new room. I love them! He also put up new light covers in here. The room is very cottage like!

I made him power wash the rugs too. Bawhahahaha!

Funny Poem

Post Card From Vacation

OMG I'm having fun at last
Dude I'm so having a blast
I'm playing games all day
I don't care if u think that's gay
I beat some newb in a duel
Everyone thought I was 2 kewl
I saw a concert FTW
I read a book on a whim
The time is flying by meh 2 fast
There is plenty left 4 meh 2 laugh off my ass

Don’t forget if your boss is a friend on Facebook. Ha ha ha

AC/DC

We had a great time! Grand Rapids is a very pretty city with plenty to see & do.
Our hotel was only a few blocks from the Van Andel Arena.
We stopped at the B.O.B for drinks & dinner & a few more drinks.
Our seat at the concert was cool right in front of the catwalk so we were very close at times.
I felt that AC/DC earned their money from us as they rocked the house. How old are these guys anyway? Jeez.
The opening band was The Answer from Ireland. I was not impressed *shrug*

Could I've Been So Blind by The Black Crowes

How could I've been so blind
So empty that I've never felt warm
Can I spell it out
Turn myself out of my home
Lookin' like a fool
Feelin' even worse than it seems
Tryin' hard as nails
Believin' only in myself

And now it looks like innocence is gone
I know right and I know what's wrong
Feeling lonely that's the way it goes
Sometimes

But my greatest fear
Paint a smile from ear to ear
Alone and cryin'
Living like this is no better than dying

I tell you baby things are gonna' change
Looking like we were caught out in the rain
Feeling lonely
That's the way it goes
Sometimes

Chorus:

Could I ever have been so blind
Could I ever have been so blind
Could I ever have been so blind
Could I ever have been so blind

Solo
Could I ever have been so blind
Could I ever have been so blind

Hardest thing I ever had to do
Was stand up straight and tell it all to you
Look you right in the eye
Tell you baby sorry but I have lied

And now it looks like innocence is gone
I know right and I know what's wrong
Feeling lonely that's the way it goes
Sometimes

New Poem.

It's taken me a while to write this one.
This poem is dedicated to my Grandmother & all of the too many people who are fighting or have fought Cancer!
(Special thanks to Kathy, my favorite editor. xoxo)

The evil within
Black.
Not crack.
No drug, this!
It hides within us all with the potential to kill.
Temper, rage?
These are not what are caged.
We all know someone who this evil has claimed.
Also we have witnessed the battle waged.
Know that the evil can be beat,
Though leaving scars that tattle or boast.
Most take pride in their victory
Everyone close is congratulatory.
Each and every one, thanking god that it was not them as cancer's host!

Family Reunion

We attended the decedants of Walter & Emma Osmar reunion dinner last night.
I can not tell you how many years that this reunion has been going on. I do know I attended a few as a kid, so forever may be the answer!
They camp & the camp ground of choice (The one they've attended the longest) is Twin Mills.
RJ & I have camped a few times. We arrived last night just as a hot dog eating contest began.
I think it was George who offered aunt Michelle $20.00 if she won.She ended up getting five of twelve dogs down! Great Effort! Micheal won, he's a big boy! (Heather's son I believe.)
After dinner they have games, family picture, & to top it all off for tons of fun a water balloon fight.
I made sure that I was observing this activity from a distance, but as my god given talent would have it, I was spotted as a target. I think Nick told his son to get me. He did, two balloons, direct hit! *sigh*
It was nice seeing everyone. Thanks for the Jello shots Heather!!!!!
I put a couple pics on here & click this link for a few more or just enjoy the slide show.

Weekend With P

We had a blast this weekend entertaining Paris, Robert's nephew. He was visiting from Kansas.
We did Putt Putt where RJ kicked everyone's butt & dad lost his tooth...we went back & I found it. The thing looked like a thumb tack.
We did some fishing which I think P really enjoyed.
We went to Camp Bellowood, which brought back memories for me. I spent a couple summers spending money there as teenager. They place has not been kept up, the arcade was nothing like when I was a kid.
We came for the go-karts. It was a bummer when we found Paris to be 4 inches to short to drive the big cars.
I talked the people into letting me ride the baby cars with P. (It's no fun if you don't have someone to race!)
I ended up stalling one car, then they put me in another & the throttle stuck...there are no brakes on the baby cars. I was very afraid that I was going to have to crash to get the car to stop, luckily it became unstuck. I think P won the race.
In the big cars I had the fastest car & was about to lap Pa when they ended our ride.
The bumper boats were so fun. They spun so fast they made you sick. Paris ended up soaked!
We tried to get some swimming in.....it was kinda cloudy & cold though. He loved kayaking.
I love playing video games with P even though he beat me at everything.
He's a good kid & I hope he comes back soon!

Bella Sue had it rough, she was scared of Paris (Of any little kids) She kept barking at him & running from him.

Enjoy a crap load of pictures!
