*sigh*

It was 29 degrees this morning...

Do you remember?

2:30 A.M.

I had 4 good friends over this evening...we made birthday cards and played Apples to Apples, and Mario Kart Wii, all of which made for an excellent evening!! I also had a cup of coffee...which is why it's 2:30 in the morning and here I am, wide awake, brain ticking away, surfing the internet!

I found a good Abe Lincoln quote:

"If I were to try to read, much less answer, all the attacks made on me, this shop might as well be closed for any other business."

That's good adivce, no matter who you are, no matter your circumstances.

Well, now it's 3:00am...oh what to do next??

I know it's shallow, but...

...judging solely from their hairstyles, it's like they're becoming the same person...

Two Camping Trips

We have been camping two weekends in a row. Last weekend we went to Homer with John, Barb, Geoff, and Jenn. We had spectacular weather last Friday night and Saturday. Sunday it started to cloud over, but it never did rain. Last night we went to Tenderfoot Campground which is about 75 miles south of Anchorage. We had a flash rain this morning...went from nice to pouring in a very short period of time. We only stayed one night at Tenderfoot since we had to be back in Anchorage for a Casting Crowns concert (more on that later)! We've had a very odd summer this year...Crummer is what I'd call it (Crummy Summer). I think we've had an average of 55 degrees the entire time and a LOT of rain. I suppose one good thing is we haven't had any forest fires. Let's hope we have a nice autumn!

Tony's van ahead of us heading down to Tenderfoot. See the double rainbow?

The dogs in their play pen...let me tell you - best $75 I've spent in a while!!

I took this shot while sitting in the van during the flash rain...wishing for Hawaii! The Little dashboard Hula girl is as close as I'll come for the moment...
