Time

Thank goodness for the passage of time. Going through some old pictures I ran across this photo from just 4-years ago. It instantly gave me anxiety.



Here is the same space earlier this year. Sooo much better.

Baking Update, etc.

I guess I did leave out vital information from my last post! They were supposed to be cupcakes that I was making ... from scratch; not out of a box. Yikes! What a mess. Today I'm baking bread instead.


I've been meaning to post this picture as well. We live in the middle of a city, so this is the last thing you'd expect to see in your front sidewalk. And I'm not talking about the weeds.






However, in the past, we have seen deer on the Trax lines, racoons in the creek, and owls in the trees. So fun!

Oops!

This is a pretty good indication that it's time for me to quit baking for the day:



This was the SECOND batch. I followed all the directions so that they wouldn't "collapse". Hmmm.

Sumo Man

You never know what you may find when looking at an address through "Street View" in Google Maps:

Like "Sumo Man". Hmm. Not what I was expecting. Upon closer inspection, there is a guy filming Sumo Man:

Well, it is in San Francisco. What's your instinct ... Eccentric? Hollywood movie? Protester? Geico caveman commercial?

I bet there is a website out there for unusual things found on Street View. I think I'll check, because I have a submission!

LDS Graffiti

I didn't know that we had youth taggers in the LDS church ...

We went for a nice Sunday drive, and among the beautiful pines and rain scented air, we were taught our Sunday School lesson ... "Modest is Hottest".

And we also got to appreciate some classic expressionist art ... someones version of The Scream by Edvard Munch.

What a day!

Fish Lake

Spent the weekend in Fish Lake, Utah for a family reunion ...
Fun on the lake it one of the best places on earth!

Llama Fest

We had a very busy Saturday and we ended the day by having a lot of fun at Llama Fest! It was very HOT and we were glad when it got a little cloudy.


This was my favorite llama.

Here is one of the llama races. Some of them were .... resistant ... to racing.

This llama has made a new friend. He loved having Matt scratch the side of his face and was ready to come home with us.
