— Here’s What I Have to Say —

Chuck brought these beautiful flowers home yesterday. They were really called “Crazy Daisies”! I think they are so cool!

Since most of you know how much I dislike Pugs….Here's a funny video! *Pug Bowling*

I walked past our front door on Saturday and saw a 5 legged Grasshopper attached to the glass. He was a strange looking little guy. I took a couple pictures of him through the glass. I didn't know that the little things were so goofy up close. Look at that silly face. There are a...

All of my Lily plants in the front of the house have flowers on them now. I am so excited. The one that I am most happy about is the red one by the front of the house. They are so pretty and by far my favorite. HERE is the page with all the pictures...

This has to be my favorite commerical right now. It is so clever. And you have to love Binky. 🙂 Take a look…it's hilarious! Dodge Caliber Commercial * Binky

Have your parents or grandparents ever started a story this way? Well, I have one we'll say to our kids. We were at dinner at Chuck's mom's house and had some watermelon with dinner. Linda told us that it's been very hard to find watermelons with seeds in them. (They use them for a project...

We had a good 4th. We did some things around the house part of the weekend. On the 3rd, my brother came over and we went out on the lake and played with the Jet Ski and did some fishing. HERE are pictures from hanging out. On the 4th we went to see “Superman” and...

Illusion This is so cool. I don't understand how our brains can do things like this.

St. Paul Craftstravaganza Webpage My best friend, Jenna, from college has put together (with her husband, Andy) a HUGE craft event. It is taking place next weekend on July 8th from 9 AM – 4 PM at the State Fair grounds in the Merchandise Mart building. They are having a bunch of vendors from all...

This is the newest flower to bloom in the front of the house (and yes, there is only one flower on the plant). I still have three more lily plants I am waiting to see bloom. They may be other colors. I have a yellow Day Lily plant along with this new purple one. I...

I found this little bug today when I was outside. I looked it up, and from what I found it's a Stink Bug, or also called a Shield Bug. I only found one other picture of one this color and it had yet to be identified. But all of the aspects of it looked right....

Today we are going to the Twins game. We're playing the LA Dodgers and Santana is pitching. We have great seats! Right behind home plate about 6 rows up! I can't wait. Chuck got 4 free tickets from a guy he knew because he couldn't go to the day game. So I called the two...

We went to Mille Lacs last weekend and had a great time. We got up there mid Friday and set up our campsite and then went fishing. Paige and Brian got there about 9 that night and we had a fire and smores and headed to bed. The next day we went fishing again. Chuck...

I can hardly believe that my brother is 21 already. It really makes me feel old. We went to dinner on his birthday for him and celebrated his birthday and his graduation. It was a good time. Over the weekend we went up North to the Breezy Point area for my aunt Val's wedding. We...

I am so excited! We got a sprinkler system installed this morning. It is going to make our grass look so pretty! I can't wait. They used a crazy contraption to run the tubes and wires underground. It's called a Ditch Witch. This isn't your ordinary, everyday tool….although Chuck might disagree. 🙂 This thing is...

Does anyone know what this flower is? I threw away the tag that came with it and now I don't remember what it is. I have some that are orange, too. When I got them they were really small and I thought they were funny. Now, they just keep getting larger and are just kind...

We got a new toy this weekend! It's a Kawasaki 800 SX-R stand-up Jet Ski. It's awesome! I can't walk because I used some new muscles, but I am looking forward to playing on it again. Chuck is much more brave than I am. He does all sorts of fancy things. But this was my...

I got a couple new swimming suits yesterday. I have been on a white kick, so I was looking for a white suit. It was harder than I thought it was going to be. But I finally found this one. It's really cute! I like it. This is the top of it with the silver...

Now I am not known to have a very green thumb. At least I don't think so. But I decided I wanted some planters in the front of the house. So that meant I had to plant some flowers. We went to Home Depot and I got a bunch of plants and went crazy. HERE...

We did some fishing this weekend. HERE are pictures of a couple of the fish we caught. We brought them home and Chuck used his new electric filet knife to get them ready for eating! We also went to Cabela's this weekend and got this nifty camping device. I am really looking forward to camping...
