KIDS AND ANIMALS

What a nice day for a chat…



Plumb tuckered out…



Now THIS doesn’t happen very often!



Penelope the Pet Pig…



Just havin’ fun…



I just LOVE to shower!



Too pooped to pop…



Ahhh…The life of a dog…



Time for a nap…



Sticks are for kids…



Stuck on you…

Magnet man…

A tad bit of a blunt post…

Gentlemen…(James ;)…You may not want to read this…

The normal me...

I’m a nice person…Sometimes to a fault…

I try to live right…

I try to treat others nicely…

I reach out to those less fortunate (to use a much over-used cliché’)…

Etc…Etc…Etc…

BUT…

Enough is enough already!

I…unfortunately…personally know two people in our state prison…

They both used me…One to the tune of 150 years worth of time...

My thoughts on idiots who prey on women…

I DON'T THINK SO!!!



Kick 'em in the *****...

Take 'em out...

And cook 'em up!



Whether I'm out and about...

Or home sweet home...

I've got several defenses ready to roll!!!

A dog that really likes to bite people he thinks are going to get me...Or get into my car...Or get into my house...



And A gun...



Oh, yeah, and A husband who gets ticked off pretty easily...And really doesn't care if he goes to prison when it comes to protecting his family...

Enough said.

IN DIVERSE PLACES...

An UNBELIEVABLE event happened here yesterday…In our little town…

A tornado hit! This is normal for some parts of the country but never for us! Over the years, I have seen funnel clouds, one coming quite close a few years back…But, since 1958, we have never had one hit our town…



Until yesterday…

It was surreal…



DD was at a friends, heard the emergency sirens, went to get in the car to rush home to her family…And saw the twister out her car window…



My sister, who lives in a modular, rushed to Mom and Dad’s to take cover in the basement…

Her daughter, my niece, was away with a friend…The friend’s mom saw the funnel, loaded the girls up in the car and fled to the East…

The roof was blown off the arena…Debris covered the road…





A glass shop was blown away with only the walls left standing...



A casino and marina were taken out pretty badly…



Before it hit, I had just met Dad for a Father’s Day coffee…

Out of nowhere, it came…The darkness…

The down-pour…

As soon as the call came in from my sister, we headed out…



Dad headed to his house…Me to mine…



After the storm was over, and keeping in touch with Mom, who was out of state…

I could no longer make contact with Dad or Sis…So headed out to their end of town to check on them...

Water like this was everywhere…



Downtown was flooded…Cars were up on dry patches, where they could be found, drying out engines that were water-logged…



Every policeman in the city, I think, was out on duty…

There were firetrucks, ambulances, you name it, out in droves…



I sat stranded for about an hour…Not being able to go North, South, East, or West…

I surged through the water the best I could, and my poor little car was about to die out…I told my dog that I thought we were in for it…

Across the away, a guy in a car similar to mine stalled out in the flooding, waded out to get help and pushed his car up to a dry lot…

After a long time of letting my engine run on a dry spot, I went for it, and we finally made it out…

It was just the weirdest thing to experience…





Thank goodness we all were fine, but what a surreal day it was...

STUNT GIRL

DD helped out with a stunt show today by being a tandem rider…



Waiting for the show to begin…





There was a pig roast with all the fixin’s…



Getting ready to ride…





This DD has always loved a thrill…





Rob, with One World Revolution, tours with another group, who is sponsored by Harley Davidson…



He stunts several kinds of bikes, including a Harley, Honda, a quad. and others…



Talking to Hubby after the first show…





DD wants to stunt her own bike and is learning how to…

Have a wonderful Sabbath all…

FAMILY HOME EVENING

My son has a full-ride scholarship in college…Ha Ha!



Each student is assigned a family-home-evening group…



Years ago, the church set aside Monday evenings for family night…Its purpose is to strengthen the family…

"Family home evenings should be scheduled once a week as a time for discussions of gospel principles, recreation, work projects, skits, songs around the piano, games, special refreshments, and family prayers. Like iron links in a chain, this practice will bind a family together, in love, pride, tradition, strength, and loyalty."

(President Ezra Taft Benson, July 1992)
