Happy Birthday!!

We've been celebrating like fools of late...Mitchell and his cousin, Jon, both celebrated a milestone birthday...Sweet 16...on the 28th. That old Ford you see in one of the pictures is the truck Mitchell and Blu went in on together...yes, Mitchell now has a vehicle. But, he has yet to get his permit (and insurance!!). We'll get that worked out soon, though.

And our good friend Beck celebrates his birthday TODAY...Happy Birthday Beck!

Best Action/Superhero Movie in a LONG Time...

I went to see "The Dark Knight" last night and I was NOT disappointed. Love, love, LOVE this movie. Very well done.

Christian Bale plays Batman/Bruce Wayne so well...very impressed with the dynamic between the two roles. And Heath Ledger ...WOW. Jack Nicholson has NOTHING on him for the role of the Joker. Amazing job done by Heath. All-around, the cast for this movie was GREAT. Come Oscar time, I hope this movie rakes in all the gold.

This is the type of movie that makes you fall in love with movies all over again.

Happy Birthday, America!

A good ol' fashioned water balloon fight, fresh blackberries, and good times with good friends...what more could one want to celebrate the 4th of July??

I hope everyone had a great holiday weekend!

A planner...

Earlier this summer, I went to the zoo with some friends. I took this picture and at the time, I thought this little fellow must be a planner.

He/she saw the rest of us on the other side of the pond (you can't really see the pond in the picture, but it's there--and it's filled with koi), feeding the fish, and he/she actually moved closer to the edge of the pond so that he/she could 'catch' the fish food (must be good stuff).

Smart fellow. He had it all planned out.
