I made it the last couple of years and it was fun! Lots of good food, really good jugglers, lots to see.

Mmmm....steroids.

What I remember is the only toy they need is a DS.

Clayville on steroids... hmm. Your aren't selling it to me yet, but I am intrigued.

For anyone wanting to visit Lafayette in October, The Feast of the Hunters Moon is the 10th and 11th. The best way to describe it would be Clayville on steroids.

That is exactly why we don't let our kids have toys. It is much better to let them play with tools and kitchen utensils. That way you know they are always in eminent danger, so you pay more attention to them.

I'm just kidding people.

Lil tikes' safety recall. The toy sales date back to May 1994. We have some of these and I am having a hard time picturing how the child got this lodged in their throat.

rsj: What weeds?!? There are no weeds in MY garden.

That Silvita is one cool customer.

taod: was she weeding your garden for you?

I've got the Dougher house to myself this morning, haven't had a quiet down time like this all summer. It's nice. The extended Dougher family starts arriving about noon today, Roman arrives on Saturday. Should be a fun long weekend here.
Tonight is Sandy's Camp Equinox show, she'll have lots of audience cheering for her -- one of those good/bad things.
In other mixed blessings news, my phone is actually working in Montana this year. However, I only brought the car charger so it's about to die and since I'm not driving anywhere now it probably will.

I found her wandering around our house when I got home from work.

I hope that didn't involve a trip to the hospital...

I got Mom!!!!!!!!!

So tonight we learned that Payton is allergic to hamsters. I
guess that gets me off the hook for getting one for Lauren.
We might just be limited to a goldfish. Not too bad.

Frank and I are in Dickinson ND at a Comfort Inn. We just got back to our room from the Water Park. It's a small one, but fun after a day of riding in the car.
We'll be in Bozeman tomorrow afternoon.
Laurens theater camp looks like fun.

Here's a good one from the AP:

ST. LOUIS | Protesters are demanding justice for a man who was injured during fighting that erupted last week when audience members at a St. Louis-area aging forum began yelling about health care reform.

Backers of Kenneth Gladney, 38, of St. Louis, gathered Saturday at the offices of the Service Employees International Union for an event organized by the pro-limited government Tea Party coalition.

The group claims union members attacked the politically conservative Gladney at the event two days earlier. But members of the union, which supports the president’s health care plan, say Gladney initiated the fight.

Brown told the crowd that Gladney is accepting donations toward his medical expenses. Gladney told reporters he was laid off recently and has no health insurance.

Lauren at theater camp.

Netiquette observation: posting lyrics from a Clint Eastwood musical will halt all conversation in a discussion group.

FTD and I are in Hudson WI. The trip west is underway.

The jar of Skippy will boil holy water.

Can't say I really ever noticed a difference. Costco has JIF by the gallon, so we usually get that.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again.

Skippy is evil.

I hope that phase is over. Skippy = Bad. Very bad. Tasting anyway!

I believe that was during our skippy phase.

very nice pics there. is that jif, skippy, or peter pan on the pbj?

Catching up again on our summer fun...

fruits and flowers

summer fun

Just water it well for the next year after replanting. Looks like the new patio will be a bit bigger.

Roman, when are you showing up?

nice pics. Although, I wouldn't suspend croquette just yet. I would mandate steel toed boots to play though. Possibly gloves as well.

Yes, we all miss Olivia.

Just doing my job to save a kitten cause we need to save all the kittens we can.
