ROCK OUT AND PEACE OUT AT REMLINGER FARMS

When I was talking with dad this morning, he realized that he had made commitments for this coming Monday and Tuesday that he cannot get out of. On Monday and Tuesday afternoon and evening Mimi will be part of what they call at her gymnastic school "The Summit Olympics". That where all of the students show the parents, grandparents and friends what they have been working on all year. They also get their certificates at that time. Since dad "goofed up" I suggested that he make it up to her by taking her to Remlinger Farms today since the weather is nice and cool. Of course she had to take her partner in crime along too. Those two are like two peas in a pod. The "rockout hand" was made by Blake and the "peace hand" is Mimi's. According to Mimi and Blake, they made the hands out of wax.

BATMAN OR SHOULD WE SAY BATWOMAN???

While I was out on my walk with Angie yesterday morning, dad said that Keri called to see if Mimi would like to go to the Carnival down by the lake. Our town is celebrating the good ole' pioneer days. I guess one could say that Mimi could not get out of here fast enough to suit her. Both she and Blake had a ton of fun playing on the giant slide and getting their faces painted. At first Mimi absolutely refused to wash the paint off of her face. That is until I promised to take a picture of her so that she could remember it forever.

ME 'N' ANGIE

For the past couple of months I have been trying to get myself into shape. Mainly I am doing it as a present to myself. Almost everynight Butch and I have been walking around the neighborhood. Yesterday morning my good friend Angie and I made plans to go walking together along Soos Creek. I thought that it would be a great idea to take Butch along with us. So I did. Not sure how far we walked, probably a couple of miles or so. All I know is that on the way home I could hear Butch snoring in the back of the car. I think that we wore him out. Poor little fella. Then last night I noticed that his whole upper right lip was quite swollen. I thought that maybe he had a pine cone in his mouth as there is always something in there such as a toy or rock. But no, there was nothing there. Somehow it did not seem to bother him much though. There did not seem to be any discomfort. Not sure if he got stung by a wasp or bee or something that he might have sniffed along the trail.

Anyways the swelling has gone down quite a bit since yesterday. The lip is almost back to normal thank goodness.
