Tundra Swans

Mom spotted these beautiful swans on her was home today. She pulled in our driveway and ran in the house yelling that I needed to get my camera and get in the car. Glad thing I did!


Taking flight Flying over a very flooded fieldSoaring into the wide blue yonder.
As we were parked on a rather dangerous corner and I was hanging out the window, a policeman stopped and paid us a little visit.

Goodby Forever

Our cat Newman is no longer with us. We don't know what happened to him, one day he was here the next he wasn't. He did have a liking for long adventures of several days but he always came back from them. He loved kisses. I remember back when we first got him and he was so small. One day we were sitting on the couch and he came in the room whining his face off. I said he wanted a kiss. He jumped up and nobody kisses him. He continued moaning and I say come here I'll kiss you. He runs around the couch, climbs up my arm. I kiss him on the head and he jumps down and leaves. He was such a cute little guy. He was mean though. You picked him up when he didn't want to be picked up and he took out his anger on your face. I hate to say it but I hope it was painless and quick. I loved him and I will miss him even though some of us may not (no names) .

Eskimo Living

(This post is for Spencer, because he has been bothering me about it)

Ok so the other day, back when it was snowy and cold, (Now it is warm,wet, and muddy, and today very foggy.) anyhow, Spencer decided to sleep outside in a tunnel. He hollowed out one of our snow piles, making a small room in the center. He even had a window. He laid down a tarp and blanket, to stay dry. Dressed in something like five layers, flashlight in hand he went out into the night. He said it was surprisingly warm in there and was doing just fine until he heard the coyotes.
Next morning he was still alive. He did however melt the shaped of his body into the ground he was sleeping on. ( Now people will know how crazy you are boy.)

Balls of Fury

We lost the tournament. Badly, sadly. I bowled really poorly. I got 53 which is the lowest score I have gotten in a really long time. Everyone bowled worse than they usually do, it was the pressure of knowing you were in a tournament. But yeah to Patrick (he was on my team) who bowled a 117 and got the most strikes (3) over everyone. The highest score was a 142 by Mrs. Wild who also get the most spares (5). The lowest was a 13 by Gabe who also won gutter king. Gutter queen goes to Jacqueline.

Skrunch won with a 571
The Snow Leopards 544
