Lake Pictures

Since it's about that time of year!

I came across the pictures of this trip to Grand Lake while I was searching for the picture of Taylor with his dog.

This is the counterpart to the picture of Taylor with his dog - Taylor's wife and her poodle.

This is a picture gone wrong, but it's kind of funky.

Foot picture!

Mud Bowl Highway Patrol

My soccer buddies
With all this rain we've been getting, it was pretty sloshy for soccer today - it was perfect for soccer today! All the "slip" tackles were hilarious to watch. I slipped and fell several times myself, and then one of the girls painted mean streaks under our eyes. We were having so much fun, I was ready to play till it was too dark to see the ball. Unfortunately, I had forgotten about a previous engagement that I was already late for. I hopped in my car and roared off. Several miles out of town, the highway patrol got me. As the officer walked up to my car, my little brain was racing, "How can I get out of this one?! Maybe I can start crying...do they really fall for that?...There's no time to work tears up anyway...Think! Think!...Should I try to explain?...They never give you a chance to explain!....Ahhh, here he is." He took one look at me and said, "Whachya got mud all over you for!?!" I got off with just a warning.

Happy Mother's Day

Yesterday, my brother and his family came over to celebrate Mother's day. We let Mom make us dinner - she's such a good mother!

My sister-in-law and niece

This is actually Mom's birthday gift. It's a Mexican style sink that Bo picked up in San Antonio.

Fly Ride

Album Link

Lately, I've been haunted by the Ghost of Springtime Past. Ever have that happen where you are flooded with memories with what you were doing the year before?

Well, three years ago, I dropped by the local airport to ask if I could take pictures of their airplanes to paint and draw from. They opened up the hangers for me and let me take pictures to my heart's content. Then they mentioned their old Beech aircraft, and had us (Lindsay was with me) leave our numbers for when they took it up the next time. They said they'd give us a call and let us come along. Oh Yeah!!! Not too long after that we did get a call and invite to go flying. I was very excited about flying in the old funky, antique airplane. After we got there, we learned that we'd only be flying in the Cessna. I was bitterly disappointed! Lindsay told me I was a brat, and then we cheerfully loaded up in the Cessna. Since I was a seasoned Cessna flier (2 previous flights) I let Lindsay ride in the front. (Who's the brat now!? ;) Airport Alan flew over both of our homes and all around the county - it was a good time. But it was no Beech.

Taylor's Video

Alright, so Lindsay's brother is asking that I put his Youtube video on my blog so that he can get more hits. I'm sure he'll get "tens" of hits now!
