Another Beautiful Weekend in the Ozarks
Saturday, I went to a baby shower for my friend and former neighbor, Tim. It was possibly the most entertaining baby shower I've been too. It's not every shower where the new father models as many gifts as possible. Saturday afternoon, Christina and I went to Apple Butter Makin' Days in Mount Vernon. I didn't think to take a picture, but the nominee for worst craft of the year was something called a "Butt Pot." It's a porch post on a wood base with a bucket screwed to the top. I think it's for your cigarette butts. The best part was that you could choose from many different themes. Nascar Butt Pot? Of course! John Deere Butt Pot? Why, we've got one right here! How much would one expect to pay for a Butt Pot? $25 was the going rate. Amazing! :)
Sunday, we took the freshly washed and fluffed Tuley to Art in the Park. We met another sheepdog, who was about half of Tuley's size.
We tried to figure out what kind of tree this is. I think maybe it is a Cypress, which is what our Clyde is aspiring to be in the backyard. I hope we're right, because they were really neat trees.
Today, David started his new job! And today I got a new cousin! Mom and I went to see baby Ryan at the hospital. He is just perfectly adorable and has a LOT of hair.
That's the news from Lake Wobegon!

Built Like A Brick %#$@house
Early on in this blog I mentioned that one of my only duties in the wedding planning was “Hauling” of anything that needed to be hauled. The title of Hauler has lingered past the wedding and now seems to be a permanent gig. If you have been keeping up with Wedded Bliss Road you will know that we recently tore-out our front stoop because there were three loose bricks. The replacement bricks had to get from Acme Brick to our house… this sounds like it is job custom made for me and my mighty sidekick the Discovery. You’ll note in the picture below that the rear end of Discovery seems to be ridding low.
And here’s why….
Peace-Out My Brick-A-Brack Brethren

Vacation!
I've been off work for the past 2 days to take a bit of an at-home vacation. David starts his new job on Monday (yippee!), so it worked out perfectly to spend a couple of extra days with him. We went to Silver Dollar City yesterday. It was really empty, which was nice for us. I rode a couple of rides that I wouldn't wait in line for, but were fun when they were empty. David is not a ride-person, so he took a couple pictures of his nerdy wife all alone on the rides. :)
While on my mini-vacation, we also picked out bricks for the new steps. New steps might be coming next week. Another yippee!Sunday, October 5, 2008
What Do Class Reunions and Donkeys Have In Common?
Friday night we attended David's high school's homecoming game. It was nice, but his school doesn't play football anymore. It's just hard to get a "homecoming" feeling from a soccer game. :)
Saturday night was his 20 year reunion, held at the Springfield Brewing Company. That was lots of fun. One-third of his graduating class was able to come, along with spouses and significant others.
I thought I'd heard all of the stories, but there were a few that were new. :) It was nice to meet more of his high school friends, even if he did forget my last name for a second. Um, it's the same as yours? :)
Sunday morning we went to Farm Fest at the fairgrounds. I'm not sure why we keep going since our yard is small and our livestock is limited to two cats and one dog, but we always like to wander around and look. The show is huge, covering the same amount of space as the fair. I'm not sure what the men in this picture are discussing while sitting outside the antique tractor barn, but I couldn't resist taking their picture.
There were lots of animals, including these miniature donkeys. I think we should get one - it's smaller than Tuley!
If we ever win the lottery (which is unlikely considering that we buy about one ticket a year), this will be my first purchase. I love these backyard greenhouses.
