Did you know.....

....I hate cutting my nails?
....there's a bull frog in Africa that can eat an antalope?
....my husband will kick your butt at the farming game every time?
....my little toenail grows sideways?
....I havn't worn makeup in 2 months?
....I want a mental vacation?
....I am back from blog vacation????????

Well, now you do!

This week in photos....

......aparently not a very exciting week..........I only have 2 photos for you. I take that back, it HAS been an exciting week, just didn't tak photos!

I bought this onion when Ty and I went down to the very southeast corner of MN to go caving and camping. There is a large amish population down there and we decided to take a tour. We bought an audio CD that brought you to several amish family farms. When and if I ever get a large sum of money.........there are a few pieces of furniture that I will be blowing it on. AMAZING! Sense I'm not flush with money, we bought jams, honey, and this little beauty. For 60 cents, this GIANT onion may be the best deal ever! (spice bottle for size comparision only!)

Saturday night, I did some senior pictures for the daughter of one of Ty's co-workers. Lots and lots of editting to do but here is a sample.

A day late but not a dollar short...

....I guess the end of summer means more frequent blogging activity. At least this is what I keep telling myself sense I'm convinced my lack luster posting activity has to be blamed on something.....and summer is as good as an excuse as any.

Ty and I are heading down to Southeast MN to go camping, caving, and amish people harassing. But before I go......I will leave you with today's (or yesterdy I guess) ThankfulThursday.

Today, I am thankful for.........

...my chacos..................made the fair sooooooo much better

...speaking of the fair....pig noses.........arn't they the greatest?

...clean sheets....what could possibly be better????

...Dryer sheets......mmmmmmmmmmmmm

...people who actually pay me to take their senior pictures.....isn't they like double dipping?

...cinnamon roasted almonds.......in the top 10 best things I've ever eaten

...toe nail polish.....how else do you cover up ugly toes?

...a dog who will do anything to make me laugh......or at least I convince myself its on purpose:)

...garden fresh potatoes......I have never tasted anything like it....AMAZING!

Because it is a physical impossibility....

....to wait until I'm actually done editting all of the photos until I share them.......her are a couple of Miranda's senior pictures! I will post more when I'm done! What do you think?

Class participation needed....

.....I want your favorite quotes, stories, poems, knock knock jokes........whatever makes you smile, gives you courage, or just a chuckle.

A couple of weeks ago, my friend Brittany posted this on her blog and I havn't been able to get it out of my head.

Come to the edge
No we will fall

Come to the edge
No we will fall

They came to the edge
He pushed them and they flew
-Guillaume Apollinaire

Or Jes and Kurt told me this AWESOME joke!

what's brown and sticky???? (A STICK!!!)

But the one that has gotten me through the most lately was from a small poster hanging on the wall at the Dr office that read:

Courage
doesn't always roar
sometimes courage is
the quiet voice at
the end of the day saying,
"I will try again tomorrow."

So bring on the participation!

Life altering lesson learned at the como zoo.....

.........

Life isn't always black and white.............

sometimes the grass really is greener on the other side of the fence!

Ha! I crack myself up!
