Skid Row Rocks

Well, I would write something like that if say I was listening to my 80's rock station on Pandora Radio as I blog because they do rock but Journey just came on...

Journey totally rocks!

Now, I just need a few REO Speedwagon songs and my music night is complete. Yes, AC/DC has already graced my ears. But Joan Jett...really?

Pandora do you really need the political commercials? Anyway,I am voting for the 'other guy' but I will still take advantage of the free music.

Ok back to Skid Row...I Remember You, Too!!!



You do rock!!!

There is really nothing like '80's rock well '70's is pretty cool,too...

Enough of that.

I am telling you what you already know,anyway.


~Smile~

Random Friday pictures

Jeff brought me home a special treat this evening.

Bruegger's is about the only thing I miss about 'the cities'.

As well as my old church and the friends and family we left to go that hour south.

The girls made Josiah some birthday cupcakes.

We will officially celebrate his birthday Sunday but today is his official birthday day so cupcakes are in order.

Down in the 'teen cave'.

He must really be tired...

'cause he did not even finish his delish' white cracker before he nodded off.

An Early Monday Morning Date With

My sweet hubby!!!

A stop Hyvee and then The Daily Grind.



Jeff taking a moment to smell the flowers.

He is sensitive like that, you know.



Jeff, I do not think this is help yourself...



A moment of reflection.

Hmm...It seems like the city of Waseca forgot about this little gem.



Ok...Jeff...



"Ohh...Tina!

Look!!

This is my lucky day!!

I found a toy!!!

Now I know what I am doing at lunch!

SWEET!!!"



Jeff, you will really need to wait and get a drink at home.



J-walking is kind of like living on the edge




"Ooh...

Tina,keep your eyes peeled for troublemakers."



"Let's see...

Spong

Ram

In battery

Point

"Why isn't this thing working.

Something must be stuck.

I will just take a quick peek..."



Jeff debating his need for a quick shower before work...



Our carriage awaits.

Awwh...

~Sad~

Over way too soon.



I love you Jeff!

Thanks for the date!!

From Almost The Beginning

to the end

in pictures.

Old houses are charming...but not when there are clogged pipes, in which the clogs seem to be un-findable and pipes lead nowhere...

Alan and Dad hard at work.



Some of the kids thought our old sandbox (which is lacking sand) needed to be sifted...

Naomi



Their work is paying off. The dirt is looking a little less dirtier.



Odell is wishing to go watch the baseball game. HaHa. I got the not so subtle hint and suggested they walk over and watch.



Joel and Lily sharing the blanket hammock. They ended up getting stuck and could not get out. I did not purposely ignore their plea for help which resulted in them being in the hammock for a sightly extended time. I just could not hear their shouts over the peace and quiet I was enjoying. Honest. I am sticking to my story.



Some seriously pretty potatoes





A few kids were out past dark collecting June bugs and as luck would have it, they found the year's first toad.



Lily and I doing a little late night star gazing.
