Vacation: Part I

Well, we are back from Lee's wedding and had a blast. My children won't quit talking about ATM (we'll explain that later) and all the fun they had. We started out in Lake George and did a few fun things like stay at the Great Escape Lodge, which was across the street from Six Flags. The best part (since it was 76 degrees) was they had this indoor surf pool and the kids got to surf!!!! Yes, I tried it too. The pics are of the kids surfing, our entry to Six Flags, Connor getting his certificate to be in the Kings Army at Ft. William Henry. There was a lot of history there and it was fun stuff too. I could go on for days but won't bore you. Next up, Lee's wedding!!!

Red touches black, your okay Jack!!

Gee, found this (compliments of Blake) on the internet. We think this was a Milk Snake......shoulda listened to Connor when he said it in the first place!!!!!

The victim

This is what we found in the pool today. The kids were playing around and having a blast when one child announced there was a snake in the 'gutter'. Of course I got up to look and saw this little critter trapped in the little filter thing. His tail was caught and he couldn't get out or in. I jumped up and made the kids go inside. I only had regular sized shovel outside and it wouldn't fit in the filter. I was sweating profusely and shaking a lot by now. About then my friend showed up and promptly began laughing at me. (Go ahead Sherrie, kill it yourself next time!!!) We managed to trap it and get a smaller shovel. By then I was able to corner it and jab at it's neck and middle until it didn't move anymore. I then threw it over the fence and took my prize pictures. Does anyone know what kind of snake this is???

Happy Birthday Stinkydog!!!

Today is my little sisters b-day!! I hope all this wedding hoopla didn't make anyone forget her special day today!! I have always loved telling people that we are only a year apart......for the next 50 days anyway!!!!

Margarita Night

This is not what my margaritas looked like last night, but after having a couple of Lee's margaritas you wouldn't have known the difference.

Loreal mascara stocks drop 84%

I'm sorry if you don't think that's funny, but I couldn't resist. RIP Tammy Faye!

Delta

This is Delta. The new 'shopdog' at Blake's work. Just weeks after someone dropped of Nilly, this dog arrived. See a pattern?? Jee, he doesn't . Wonder what will be next. Anyway, this dog arrived and all the 'men' in the shop fell in love. They feed her, bath her, Blake ven took her for her first vet appt. last week. It's a mutt, but a cute mutt. And small, she's exactly the same size as Nilly, maybe with a bigger belly. The kids and I took her today and got her a collar and tag (Auntie Lee must be proud!). Actually, everyone in our house has not only collars but tags after Piggee went missing. You've got to be crazy to think you'll find a pet without a tag unless you don't sleep for weeks roaming around posting signs and calling every shelter in town. Anyhoo, she's a cutie!
