Sultan Shindig

Wow! We sure had a great time yesterday at the Shindig. I saw so many old friends. I even ran into friends I hadnt seen since highschool. Of course we had to have a funnel cake with all the strawberries and whipcream on it. Mia took a horse ride around the block. It was a perfect day for the fair. Warm and sunny. The fire department had hooked up a mister and Bubba just loved to run through it. I dont think he was very impressed with the iguana though!

On The Hunt For The Best Grandma Ever

I want to take just a minute to thank my Mother in Law for helping out at my house while I was gone. It always feels really nice to not have to worry about my babies while I'm gone and they all always have such a great time. My Ditterbug really connected with her during this last visit she made. Him luv's his Mutti. Miss Mia lives for Mutti visits. I know its hard taking care of all those babies. They maybe cute and cuddly but they still poop! They've all had such a great summer so far. and finally it didnt snow while she was up visitiing. oh and I'm not sure if someone taught, couched, or bribed my boy while I was gone, but when I got back he started calling me Mommy! (Sheesh) so stinking cute. And he calls popcyles-Mopolies. Did you do that Miss Mutti? Thank you so nice! So hats off and put your hands together for super Grandma, super Mutti! Yeah!

The End, of the beginning

The end of the begininning of my vacation. Just going to enjoy my lovelies (children) for the last couple days then its back to the same old same old all over again. I'm going to try my hardest to not to slide back into that dreary nasty same old of 40 plus hours of work. I'm in at 8 and out at 5. Well, I'm going to try my hardest anyway. It doesnt make for a very pleasant home life when you get so worne out from running around all day at work then having to come home and try to enjoy my family. Their tired, I'm tired. Geez. I'm posting the last of my va-ca pic's also if your interested. My tomatoes are just doing great! Unbelivable. I am the plant killer and this year it looks like my luck has changed. I've already got lots of little green maters and there everywhere! I will of course share the wealth with my homies. Its been so nice and warm lately. I'm feeling like I'm finally waking up after hybernating all winter. Not sure if its the vitamin D or what. Oh and I am serious when I say that someone is going to have to die soon if we dont get together and knit! People better call me. I have needles, I will use them.

Va-Ca AWAY

We stayed at the famous Cresent Hotel in Eureka Springs. What a history filled place that is. When you first get to the downtown historic part of Eureka Springs you notice that all of the building were built right into the side of the hills. There are numerous natural springs throughout the entire town and like i said, the buildings are straight up. The Cresent Hotel sits up top the hill overlooking all the other hotels and shops. I guess when it was first opened it was a hotel that converted into a hospital. Some guy that ran the hospital-Who didnt have a medical degree-did alot of experimenting on crazy people. He would invite thousands of people to the hop ital to watch as he sliced open peoples skulls and poured this type of acid on their exposed brains. That was his way of curing people of cancer. (Now that would be enough to make me quit smoking). Also some guy fell off a scaffolding during a remodel and landed where our room was. The famous room 218! We did exactly see and ghosts but there were alot of people taking pictures outside our door all night long. We even had some big ol biker dudes push our door open and when we went out to see who opened our door the guys go, " It just flew open when we touched it". Yeah like some ghost pushed it open. right! Was a very beautiful old hotel, lots of history, beautiful landscaping, but no real ghosts. We also visited the cosmic caverns. Down and dirty. That place was a mess. Fun, but a mess. I'm not sure that the people who were running it weren't setting themselves up for a lawsuit because you were having t crawl through little bitty openings and had these old rickety wooden stairs, bad handrails, geez-really?! no ones been hurt down there yet? Its was however, a very interesting adventure and because we made it through alive I would have to give it a 8 on the fun-o-meter!

Tarzan

Tarzan! WhaaaaHoweeeeee! What a great place. The bed was freaky big and you dang near had to jump to get in the darn thing! Right outside the window was a bird feeder and we saw so many different kinds of birds and flying squirels. We went into town to the Cresent Hotel for dinner. I am really excited to stay there tonight. Wonder what kind of spooky things we will see. I got my camera ready. I guess the hotel used to be an old hospital. Were gonna do a little window shopping today and then check out the Cosmic Caves and the blind trout. They have the neatest little springs that are just everywhere downtown. I'll try and get some pictures of them also.

Dont hate me because I'm beautiful!

Dont hate me because I'm beautiful. Its only for another week or so. My friend Randy turned into Captain Morgan out on the lake the other day. I remained the same, of course I was a slight bit slower and everything was alot funnier:) We suprised my good friend Kat by showing up to her work for lunch. She works at the Down Home Restaurant! Aww mama the cookin in that place is so Southern it'll add a large glop of lard to your ass just smelling it! Southern fried chicken, homemade macaronie and green beans with biscuits. Help me Rhonda I think I'm gonna need 2 seats to get home on the plane. Had steaks the other night with loaded baked potato and salad with a side of fried okra. Geez, what'll I have tomorrow?! crazy good!

Vacation Time

Day two...Out on the lake with the boat. Spent all day on the lake with beautiful blue sky and a big drink...of coke...yeah, right. May-jorno vitamin D! We ran up to the top of Shoal Bay then just floated all the way across. A couple more times of that and I am nice and brown like bacon.

Uh have ta unbuckle the britches-cant breathe! such a warm night tonight, its perfect. Gonna go watch the fire flies. ahhhh paradise!
