My camera is very temperamental and will take a picture at any moment.

1776

Benjamin Franklin, Betsy Ross, Samuel Adams, and George and Martha joined us for this year's episode of our colonial showcase courtesy of CNN - Colonial News Network.  The ladies made caps, the gentlemen played marbles, and we shared homemade corn bread and butter with visiting parents. 

You've Been Pranked!

Words of wisdom - if you're planning to retire,  don't be absent for a few days - this is what you might find when you return. Barb's office was a great source of amusement to us all - streamers, upside down pictures, emptied shelves, and beefcake screen saver, but the real mystery was the appearance of handcuffs. Hmmm....

Fooling around with the Ipod camera and the Darby Cat...

Tickets! I Mean Billets!

Lee, Kelli, Will and Ry in Paris, part deux. 6 years ago, we spent 3 weeks exploring the most beautiful city in the world and now we're going back. I'm not sure who is more excited - me, Lee or Ry - he can't wait to hit the flea markets and music festivals and I can't wait to hit the hidden cafes and street markets.  We'll wear red, white and blue for Bastille day and cheer on the finishers of the Tour de France, too.  Vive la France!

World Famous Camp Pendleton Mud Run!

We ran 10K, climbed two five foot walls, crawled through tunnels and swam through a mud pit. At one point we had to climb up a very, very steep hill called "Slippery Hill" - Marines yelling, water spraying, shoes slipping everyone laughing.  At that point, no once cared about the squishing mud in our shoes or the sunburned shoulders - just get us to the beer garden! Thanks to Team 20,30,40,50!

Pre -race shirt decorating - we are Team 20,30,40,50 so we wrote our number on the back.  The front is a giant happy face.  I'll be happy when I'm done!
