Faygo Boat Song TV commercial - 1970's

In the 70's, this was a very popular commercial for Faygo Pop. I've always loved it, and am glad to find it on youtube. It will bring back memories for those who had the pleasure of listening to it, and for you that haven't, enjoy!

Why Melinda Should Have Chickens Trilogy, Part 2

FRESH EGGS! EVERY DAY!!

Home From My Get Away!

Ahhhhh! Rested! I just got back from up north, Ken's working on the kitchen so I needed a place to go for a week. Here's some of the great sites I saw while on my visit.

This heron was in their pond. When I got too close, it flew up into the trees and stayed there while I got these great shots!

Cheryl and I had to stop at her veterinarians office, and were blessed to see this new born miniature donkey! I've never seen one these colors, isn't she the cutest!?

Such a cute picture of her and her mother Cyndy!

We went to the Paul Bunyon Festival, and got to see some fantastic chain saw carvings.

The kitchen is far from done, if I didn't have a meeting today, (I was top loser this week!) I would still be there. I'm half tempted to head back up, as Ken isn't in the most pleasant of moods as the flooring and plumbing are giving him a problem. I'm always game for relaxation up in the forest!

Furry Friends Friday: Mitzi's Nap on my craft table

Please go away and leave me alone, and for Pete's sake, get that stupid camera out of my face!!

Mornings With Chip

While on our walk today, Chip and I enjoyed another day of beautiful weather. I love to look at the trees, and examine their personalities I guess you'd say. The way the bend, twist, and turn give them their own unique appearance.

They form their own little arbors, beckoning you to pass through and take another path.

Chip especially enjoys these morning walks, running ahead to see what he can discover.

It always concerns me when he rolls, usually it means a bath is in store since it's usually something gross that he has found to coat his hair! Fortunately this time, he was just scratching his back.

With all the paths, he picks and chooses which one he'll explore next.

He's my little companion, I look forward to him keeping me company on my morning constitutions.

I took my camera for a walk around the yard this afternoon, the weather was just perfect. Mild temps, sun shining, the smell of autumn in the air.

I spotted these little red beetles on the goldenrod.

and I'm glad this little guy hopped, I almost stepped on him!

The moon was visible over the trees, just a perfect day.
