Salsa- I love the beadwork on your boot. You may have started a new trend.

Queen- The picture of your parents is adorable. I am glad the party went so well. Your family sounds very loving.

Knot-I wish I could have gone with you to the Title Nine warehouse sale. Did you end up going? Did you ride or choose the library due to rain?

Trek-Great family photos, thanks for sharing them.

Kit-your parents look so happy! It is lovely to see "normal" families.

Lise-a late night with J? You can do much better than that. I do so hope the two difficult labours have progressed further along now.

Frewina-Sweet ride. However, I do so count on you letting me know if there are any strange things afoot at the Circle K.

Nanci-Oh No, Addy would not eat? Now what? I do not understand enough about snakes, yet. I am learning through you.
I think it is so cool that you will be doing the IM Florida.

I am about to have a cup of hot tea with raspberry crepes, curl up with a book and drift off to sleep. Although the book my be too good and keep me awake.

Note, I didn't post the "Gomez and Morticia" picture... The apple doesn't fall far from the tree... if you think I'm weird...

Who is Harold Ford and why is he concerned about Australia??? Errmm yeah...BUT..at least the USDA has revoked the ban on vegemite...

I'm a bit confused, what exactly are you folks in the US voting for in November??? I figured out yesterday that it's not the presidential elections...

Anywho...Ian has a cute squirrel story from when he first landed in Vancouver all those years ago. Long story short, the squirrel stole his hamburger patty but left the bun..

We went out to do some laps on the 12hr track and was frightened by the magpies...reminds me of Hitchcock's The Birds..

A baby tiger snake crossed paths with Ian..the only excitement for the day...

I'm not from a normal family, nor am I normal Ian & I aren't normal...we like it that way...

Crazycanuck,
UNFORTUNATELY it is not the presidential election. In my state we have a senate race (very important) where the GOP guy is telling everyone that he will act like a democrat when he is elected even though he's in Bush's pocket... I am hoping that not too many people are fooled by this.

Notice to all, my parents are not showing up here either. The last photo i have of them together (and the first one too) is of them both at my christening. (I am not in the photo, can you imagine, they put me to bed during my own christening party!) They are cute and young and happy. I always wonder what went wrong.. well, not that much. I can watch my mother today with DH #5 or 6..
What is a normal family?

Yesterday after I posted here, I jumped on my bike and in the fog rode 2.5 miles down the hill (and up too) to Seward Park, a beautiful old growth peninsula right off seattle. (technically, it's IN seattle) THere I met my friend who has gotten some really strange malady which she believes was caused by her being vegan for too many years. It's an autoimmune thing. She lost strength in her hands and has never gotten it back. SHe's gone from gorgeous to skinny. SHe's having expensive treatments done, I hope it helps.
We walked aroundthe park 2.5 miles in the cold fog. She was freezing. I was feeling great thanks to the bike ride down. Then I went back home and on to 1000 other silly chores.

This morning, it's raining. But it's so early thanks to the change in time that it might have stopped raining by the time it gets light out.

mimi - we have been following the election in your state rather closely. My bil is the Libertarian candidate for senate. After the recent debate he has gotten a lot of press as the only candidate with anything intelligent to say. He doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell of winning, but there are alternatives for your vote.

here in Illinois we have a lesser of two evils choice to make for governor. They are both corrupt.

i have a dog who likes to hunt squirrels. Not the cutie in the av, a mixed breed who we think is part sight hound. She hunts like a site hound - she will stand like a statue, just her eyes slowly moving, until prey gets close enough and then boom, she's off. We think she is about 12-14 years old now, not sure exactly, and she has lost a step, so hasn't caught anything in a while, but over the years she caught a number of squirels and one rabbit. once we were in a park and she was off leash and ran behind a clump of trees. Suddenly this old woman starts shouting, "stop, get off, get off". DH and I are amazed, cause Mamie doesn't really approach people, much less attack them. We go sprinting across the park to find out what is going on when Mamie comes running towards us with a squirrel in her mouth. She goes right to dh, drops the squirrel at his feet and sits down, looking up at him, waiting her praise. Apparently the woman was freaking out because our dog was attacking an oh so endangered squirrel.
