Blackberrying

Howdy folks.  If any of you know my dad well enough...you know that he does everything while he is also reading emails or texting or blackberrying.  Now...the kid has some blackberrying of her own she is doing lately...the only difference, one includes a little black thing with buttons and the other includes a little fruit of the same color.  Good thing she hasn't discovered the one with buttons, yet!

Hot Tubbin'

Whew. It has been quite some time since my last post. It has been very busy. I have noticed that with all of the nice weather, the kid is super excited to be motoring around. So busy that from time to time, she takes a little time out for herself to relax. Now, before anyone gets to excited about what I am going to say next...the big vat of water the kid is relaxin' in is only 100 degrees...Dad is too cheap to heat it to adult standards. Here are a few pics of the kid hot tubbin'.

Up Popped a Tulip

Well...it is time to report how many of the 80+ tulip bulbs that my mom planted actually made it through the fall to the spring.  You see, the 18 squirrels that live in the trees at our house have tried and tried to snack on my mom's precious tulips.  However, I am happy to report that half of the prized bulbs made it and popped up this spring.  So...as the count goes...up popped a tulip or 42.

It's Tulip Time!

Howdy!  Cambria here.  This past weekend was SO cool.  We left the crazy mutts at home and headed up to Holland, Michigan with Grammie Carol and Grandpa Roger for the annual Tulip Festival.  According to the nice lady at the Fenn Valley Winery (yeap Dad had to have wine), the city plants over 2.8M tulips that line the streets of the town for over 6 miles.  We stayed at a great Bed & Breakfast called Castle in the Country...which I loved (great chef named, Herb).  We had a bloomin' good time at Tulip Time.

Dancin' In the Water Dish

Greetings Folks. I know...I know....it has been a couple weeks since my last post. You see...spring has finally come to the great state of Ohio so I have been out getting reacquainted with the squirrels and chipmunks. The other day, I came in for a nice little drink and I found the kid splashing about in my water bowl. Not only had it become her own little muse for entertainment, she started dancing with it. I have heard of dancing on the ceiling, dirty dancing, swing dancing, dancing in the moonlight...but NEVER...Dancin' in the Water Dish!
