BRING IT ON!!!!!

Rachel and her peeps have been addicted to Dirty Board ever since we showed them the game. When they are around they will play several rounds of it. They love it! Here is Rachel, Griffin, Josh, and Gram playing. In the heat of the battle, it can get pretty "dirty."
Dirty board is not a game you can buy in the stores. You have to have someone make a board for you. It is kind of like Sorry, or aggravation....you move your marbles around the board, sometime going to the middle if you are lucky, and kill anyone who gets in your way by landing on them. All this while trying to make it safely home. It sounds real lame, but it can get very exciting....trust me....

....anything to keep these guys attention for more than 2.4 minutes is unusual!

I AM BACK....AND USELESS INFO.

Hey - Good to be back in the land of the living. I am still a little congested and still have a cough, but I am much improved. I can't believe it has been a week since I blogged. You must have just been going through withdrawals.

Super busy though, because of the long weekend....here's what you all have been waiting for:

~ The harmonica is the world's most popular instrument.

~ Harry Truman's middle name was just S and was not short for anything. His parents could not decide between two different names beginning with S.

~ The first motion picture theater was called a nickelodeon because admission was a nickel. It opened in McKeesport, PA on June 19, 1905.

~ One hundred and seven incorrect medical procedures will be performed by the end of the day today.

Missed you!

I AM.....

...HOPE TO BE BACK SOON.

You know what it is called....

~ Four people played Darth Vader: David Prowse was his body, James Earl Jones did the voice, Sebastian Shaw was his face (what face?), and a fourth person did his breathing.

~ When your sink is full, the little hole that lets the water drain instead of flowing over the side is called a porcelator.

~ Tug-of-war was an Olympic event between 1900 and 1920. (Rich, does that make it a sport?)

~ More than 200 varieties of watermelon are grown in the United States.

~ Isaac Newton was only twenty-three years old when he discovered the law of universal gravitation.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO BETH

Btut, sister of Lisa Tutb had her 40th birthday party Saturday. It was at Andy-Randy's house, and Andy had decorated the yard with all these old crows. We had a lot of fun swimming, eating, drinking beer (of course). Happy Birthday Beth, and thanks for throwing the party, Andy.

Here is Beth and her walker. She opened her presents sitting on a potty chair! I didn't get pictures of that, but I will. I can just imagine the post I will use those pictures in!
Run Beth, run!!!!! They are coming to get you.

Quote of the day:

LL: Let's go take Beth's picture out front with will the crows.

TT: Oh yeah, it will be like that movie, you know, with all the birds in it, what was it called?

LL: The Birds

(The part of TT was played by Tami Treloar)

Adding Insult to Injury

On my way to work today I saw a Decatur cop pull over a van. I did a double take because the cop had actually pulled over the work release van. I am assuming the guy that drives all the other inmates to work was speeding.

I thought, "How ironic is that?" I mean, why would the cop choose to do that. Doesn't he know if they guy is driving the work release van, then he obviously is in jail? How is he going to pay the ticket on the $2 a day he earns in work release. You know all that money goes to by cigs and Ramen noodles from the canteen. Also, I guess the tax payers will have to pay the salary of the people who have to carry him to and from jail to go to court for the ticket.

I mean, give me a break Popo, there are plenty of people speeding on 565 in front of Racetrack to give tickets to.

(And no, I am not one of them)

Someone let the cat out of the bag....

...no, literally, please let Sally out of the bag.

She had been trying to get in this bag all week. It was on the table, then I through it on the floor, and she loves it! Cats are so funny.
