What did you do today?

A Woodchuck and a Squirrel drove through this....

And this....

Please note the two...that's two snow plows..

And did I mention this????

I-84 was closed today and we had to find a new route around the accidents to reach our final destination. We had to slow down due to the cows on the road.

And last but not least.....

I see that you took our little talk about road and weather condition seriously after that little "major highway closed due to flood" incident

was it the "and I'll be watching the webcams this time" or that Squirrel was actually with you this time and there were witnesses . . .

It is so rare and so admirable to find someone with such dedication to one's work these days. You are a fine furry role model for the worker bees of the world. Neither, rain, nor, sleet, nor, snow, nor dark of night will sway these rodent's from their appointed rounds.

OMGosh... I swear to you I have photos that look almost exactly the same - that I took a couple days ago while driving to the mall and to deliver the ice lanterns and goody bag to my best friend. I have them saved on my computer for a blog post at some point about Iowa weather... and I just laughed out loud because it looks almost exactly like the first two you posted!

Wait till you see them - you'll laugh too. We are about 5 states apart, but looking at the same roads. LOL.

Ooooo! Pretty! (Meritt: You go through WAY too much to deliver ice lanterns and goody bags! At least the rodents get paid for it.)

I was never scared, well except for the cows in the road.

They looked hungry.

So, what car would you buy your kid???

There seems to be a general discussion running rampant around here about what type of car you should by a kid. And when said car should appear around the house. As I only have 4 years to pull this off, better start now. Things to consider before buying the car: 1. DD must complete 12 hours of flight time before taking test for permit. 2. Complete at least one driving school, Skip Barber , Bondurant Racing School , and so on. 3. DD must be able to change a tire, change the oil, do basic maintance on the car. I would like them to be able to strip down an engine and do a rebuild , however that may be just to much at this point. 4.DD must understand that I will not under any circumstance have or allow a pink car to park in front of my house. Cars come in four colors only, Red, Blue, Black, and British Racing Green. 5. Just what is the perfect Horse power to weight ratio? 6. Only one passenger in the car at a time. This is a good argument for a older British sports car that only has two s...

When do you take a Vacation?

I don't really take vacations, instead I take a lot of small trips with my family. I put the two little rodents in the back and we drive and enjoy time with each other. Although no one in the family is a road warrior like me, they do enjoy the destinations. I have not taken any days off this year and will take my "Vacation time" in December and have fun with the rodents. I guess I will never understand someone who needs to leave the kids with the Grandparents and go away for two weeks to some place expensive for a break. I mean, shouldn't you home life and family be where you want to go when you need a break. However, I do understand that this does not apply to my MIL....not going there.....not going there........We teach our kids to live and breathe in this world, don't do that, don't do this. But, do we ever teach our kids to have fun. Does anyone ever say do this, do that, or run wild and have fun? Next time you are driving down the road and you pass one of...

Year end review

Another year comes to a close. Fantastic year for baking. Ending the year with spiced squash muffins. The persimmon cookies were a surprise hit. Had a minir issue with the amplifier. Apparently letting the magic smoke out is a bad thing. Added a new ride for Kelly and a new ride for me on the back of her ride. The princess is still a princess. Small child number two is now married. I was able to invoke the oldest childhood tradition of no give backs. Still at Garmin and doing well. Great company to work for. 380 miles on the new bike. It's been a long time since I racked up that many miles. Upstairs bathroom remodel is complete. Not to bad for a beginner.
