Yikes, no title?

To make you all a little jealous, here is the weather report for the Wayfarer. It has been sunny and warm, something like mid 80’s during the days and mid 50’s at night with a nice breeze, heheh. Ok, continue sweltering in the cities.

And now on to today’s subject.

I just couldn’t help myself this afternoon. I had to pull out my flip camera and get some footage of the new alpacas.
So I started to make the “alpaca, come here sounds” and they all came looking at the dork that was standing there, calling them over. I love how they all seem to have different looks and personalities and are so cute and cuddly and for sale…
Since I can’t seem to get the video to post on here, click on this link and enjoy. It is shakier than I thought it would be.
Here is another little video of the alpacas

this funny looking guy just loved tasting the weeping willow leaves

Laundry Room Secrets

The other day the bucket that is sitting on top of my dryer was overflowing…

…with pocket change and assorted laundry junk.
Secretly I collect, in that bucket, all that I find in pockets before the pants go into the washer. This is the accumulation of a year’s worth of emptied pockets.

~
It’s not my stuff and not Mike’s stuff either. This junk belongs to the boys.
There are the heads of LEGO men and other assorted LEGOS, bottle caps, golf balls and golf t’s, marbles, razors, chewed up No.2 pencils, bobbers and thread, tool handles, chewing gum, batteries, Petoskey stones, belt buckles and lots and lots of money.

Of course you can imagine that I consider the change to be mine –
It’s the change from all those times when they needed a quick buck to buy this or that. It’s the change that was never returned to me. It was collected in the bucket.

Mike sorting out MY change, muahahahaaa

Thank heavens there was never a dead mouse in any of the pockets, like someone told me there would be some day.

Water, Summer, Sun and Sky

The Frankfort pier at sundown in mid July. I usually don’t get to go downtown in July and August, however the other day the boys wanted me to take them to the beach to jump off the pier. See how the pier is full of their peers? (heheh, I couldn’t help myself 🙂 )
