WHOOO!!!

I LOVE this cool weather!

strange sighting

I could hardly believe what I was seeing on the way home on the interstate. I passed a schoolbus that had another school bus flipped over upside down and welded onto it's top. . . so the wheels were going up in the air. They were welded together top to top so there were wheels on the highway and wheels in the air. got it? On the side it said something like "is the U.S. budget topsy-turvy?" Where the stop sign would swing out, it was a pie graph showing the majority of the money spent by the pentagon. I didn't think real hard about it, but I did think it was kind of strange. And who has nothing better to do than drive around this ridiculous looking thing? That's it. I'm now done thinking about it.

The BERENDS's

This is a portion of the Berends family (those who showed up) at the Fernandez reunion.

Fri. was Lucie's birthday

This is a typical "Lucie" cupcake for those of you who know Lucie and her mother. It was so perfect I hated to eat it, so I took this shot first, then forced myself to eat it. yummmmm. Not your ordinary tasting cupcake either!

Not the Pinta, not the Santa Maria

The Nina was docked at a sail boat dock in Davenport. That's not really Christopher in the foreground, just someone imagining he is. The top right flag said Nina, I was trying to click when the wind blew it out straight, but did't get it. Below that is the American flag. In the back are 2 more flags, maybe one was Portuguese? not sure, but it was cool thinking about what people went through for our country. It's hard to imagine that thing on the ocean for that long.

T-T-T

Teeter-Totter Tug of War!? Is that what this is???

Precious Reagan!

Another preschool post. Today it was Reagan who won my heart. When Deb's kids have opening, I try to help out to get them all settled in and then I join them for closing, because we pray, then the kids give us hugs goodbye. Well, this morning as soon as I came over to the circle, Reagan got up and made a beeline over to me and snuggled in. I love it! Then when it was time for her to leave, she did not settle for the customary hug - it was a kiss she wanted right on the mouth - so of course, I could not resist that one!!! What a cute mug to smooch!!!

Sam was cute today also!
