Full Lunar Eclipse happening tomorrow night between 10 & 11 pm.
Rare occurance. Best viewing will be in the Northeast, if the clouds clear enough.

Just letting you know, in case you want to wake the kiddies. (or in case you have reason to duck & cover during the full lunar eclipse... bat boy & his Mom ??? )

I was looking forward to this, but unfortunately it's raining here. Will probably continue tomorrow.

At our family conference yesterday - we decided on zip lining at PV. I sent in our request today - we'll see what time we get.

Anyway, the boys watched the video from the site - and declared it as - "Yeah, I want to do THAT!"

Apparently, it made an impression. Here's what dad found in their room this evening...

And, here's the Pig-Cam...

They say, it was DS6's idea and effort, DS10 just helped with one of the knots. They say the pig actually does zip down the line. Though I haven't seen it. They offered to let me film it on the camera, so I could post it here.

It was a family photo from our last trip on the Magic that came off the wall to hold that end of the zip line... Hum....

Don't you just love it?! That's just hysterical. You have to keep that picture for the scrapbook, alongside the "real" zip line!!

Do NOT send the rain this way! I've had all the rain I want to see for this winter.

I see Stace wasn't in the closet long enough. Hey Stace? Care to go back into the closet for another weekend?

J/K - we all ya!

You mean 'cause I'm number 3 on the yakking list?? I'm pretty surprised at that. ALthough no one in my family would be!

Was back in the closet today and tonight too. I have one more long row to go through...that's all the sweaters, sweatshirts and long sleeve tops.
Today I did the shorts, short sleeve and tanks.
What a pain.

So I ended up telling DH that I have nothing to wear!!

 

[justmestace]

I'm reading and posting backward. No good will come of this. I can't even walk and chew gum at the same time.


Did someone say "short"?? Not even 5'2" here. I'm not a stick, though. More like a stub. Or if we're talking trees, then I'm the trunk.

 

[justmestace]

Wait! Are you Bat Boy's mom, also??

My little nieces and nephew called my Mom "Bat Grandma". Don't ask!

This one is of my oldest dd Megan - left side- she's 20 - will be 21 in July - notice how the girl is taller than her - the girl on the right is a player - a sophomore and she's bending down.

DD hates when I point that out - she got the "short end of the family stick."

Anyway - she was being anti-social & wouldn't take any pictures for me - until one of the players came along and helped me out. DD- Megan was asst coach. And the shortest one out there.

Really pretty girls...both your daughters and the teammates!

My oldest DD is a Megan too!!

One of the interns we have at work wears an 11 or 12, she says the only place she can find nice shoes is in the transvestite stores in the more interesting parts of town.

Very pretty girls!

Thanks Debi! They are all sweet girls too.

Just had to mention that and BTW, am I the only one that has become extremely (ok the only green one I could find w/o a smile) of Stace's closet space? How'd you manage to acquire so much space. I got piles and containers for my clothes and I thought I had a fairly decent closet.

My hats off to you!

I Love spice drops!!!

MMMMMmmmm....me too!! I like more of the spicy candies than chocolate. Yeah, I know...un-American. I don't like popcorn either.

That's ok - is now a good time to mention that I don't like chocolate? Well ok - I like chocolate cake and brownies but chocolate? Yuck! I spit out plain M&M's.

Does that make me un-American too?

 

[justmestace]

I went backward and forward and have now caught up to myself.

Glad to see I'm not talking to myself...that's embarrassing.


Our closet is actually pretty small. I just didn't give DH more than one small corner.
But I have overflowed to the guest house closet and our apartment closet too. Even WITH the cleaning.
Actually, it's just my cruise dresses in the other two closets.

When our middle daughter moves out, I'd always planned on turning her room into a sewing, scrapping, floral design/craft room. But I think I need to make it into one huge closet.

If so, then we're aliens together. And I'm with you, I DO like chocolate cake and brownies. Just not chocolate candy.
So how come I'm so "fluffy"?? (pass the bowl of mashed potatoes smothered in butter, please )

 

[justmestace]

Shucks...I have to go...just remembered I need to download some forms for Jared to be on the track team.

I'll lose my "standing" tomorrow...will be gone all day.

 

[justmestace]

Just had to come do one more post so I could pass up Paula for the Number 2 spot.


Love ya, Paula!!!

 

[justmestace]

Oh what the heck. I've never been Number One at anything.

 

[justmestace]

Now's my chance. The least I could do is play like Crash and post a picture.

 

[justmestace]

Here's my picture. Actually, I'm entering it in a contest here. You can be my first judges.
It's a picture of Black Mountain. The contest is held by the Black Mountain Conservancy & is supposed to be a good shot of the mountain.
What do you think?

 

[justmestace]

I took that picture off our front porch back in August....with my old camera.

Okay...I'm outta here. And I'm Number One.

Ok - forgot to mention - I could pass on the mashed potatoes but the desserts - especially the tarts! Yum!

Oh Stace - I love that picture - kinda like here is the end of the rainbow!!!!

BTW, just caught AI - David Hernandez is from Glendale, AZ. Isn't that where you're from?

 

[eeyorelvr10]

OK gave the girls some air time - here's a picture of my Stinky DS - we tease him by saying this is the "only blonde" that will love him at his worst!

He's all scruffy because I "told" him that he needed to shave and that he'd never connect his beard to his sideburns - which he's desperately trying to show up dad.
