Gettin old

I'm getting old now my eyes are starting to go. They aren't that bad but I'm having trouble reading street signs when driving in the dark. The glasses do make everything crisper that's for sure. So there you have it no longer one of those youngins. Though I think ahead of the curve being most of my family had thier first pair by age 25.

Here is the front of our new home. Notice our little hobbit door. We are across the street from the botanical gardens. We have a nice back yard as well, nice for grilling. Expect more pictures soon from a real camera.

Lots of beer

This barrell will take one person drinking a beer an hour 137 years to empty. My question. Where is the worlds largest pretzel to help wash it down?

Beer please

My friend is back and is rampaging through the city. Obviously he's grown. There must be an epidemic going on. No one is safe.

Seriously though this picture was taken from the 8th floor confrence room of my work. How she managed to climb 8 floors is a mystery.

Maybe she is trying to catch a bird.

I'm not a taxicab you know?

So what kind of fare do you charge a praying mantis anyway. I found this baby riding my trunk and tailfin this morning when I got to work. It scared rhe crap out of me walking up my trunk yo observe from the higher perch She wasn't to happy to have her picture taken. But I figured it's the least shecould do for me since I gave her a free ride. Atleast she didn't get too mad and bite my head off. It's not a bug you see everday. I hope she knows her way home.

Mmmmm Cake

Today we tasted cakes and tried to narrow down flavors. I won't ruin the surprise by telling you what the finalists were, but I don't think our wedding guests will be disappointed.

We also narrowed down our favorite designs. Aesthically speaking, there are some butt ugly cakes out there. Ours will not be one of them.
