Baby Kaleb

I finally went to Columbia today to visit Alicia and her new baby. He is really (and I mean REALLY) cute. He was born July 12th, so he is a cancer, like me. We totally understand each other.










Note the dimple on the check.

I want to send a big shout-out to Rob, who was at work when I came by.

Baltimore

I am behind on my blogging - AGAIN - so here are some pics from a trip to the salvage yard. Some of you may have seen this saucy little fellow on Sara's blog.

















I asked my mother to pretend to use this old washing machine. She tried her best.
















There were tons of sweet feral cats running around the place. It broke my heart because many of them were battle worn. They should be trapped, neutered/spayed and brought back. Why are people so stupid??????? Sorry, even smart people are dumb as rocks most of the time when it comes to taking care of children and animals. Hey, lets all sit around and babble about politics all day, blah blah blah and show off how smart we are. snore.................... Speaking of sweet cats..............................











no, not Jeff, I'm talking about my perfect Tangles. I caught her and Jeff snuggling one day and couldn't resist a picture. They both look half asleep.

Later,

Sean Catches a Fish

Well, fishing and crabbing this season has not gone very well, but last Sunday Sean, my brother John, and I went out for couple of hours and caught about 32 fish. Sounds impressive right. Well, the fish Sean is holding is the biggest fish caught that day. Anyway, we had fun and that's all that counts. Maybe better luck next time.

Who Lost a Jacket?

I just noticed this jacket hanging on our wall by the front door. It doesn't belong to any of us. Maybe someone left it here at Jake's graduation????

If it belongs to you or yours, please email or call me.













Thought I'd throw in this pic of Shawn and Sean in the pool. We have been spending quite a bit of time there, in case anyone cares.

Summer Carnival

Many weeks ago, I took Sean, Shawn P. and Jesse to Deale carnival. Here is a picture of Jake's VFD friends. It seems as if the guy on the left is wearing a wizard hat, but he's not.












The middle school set "hanging out".

Also, what's up with the woman walking around with her hand in her back pocket? Does she think her ass is going to fly away! As if!










I snapped a pic of Jake spinning the wheel. He was working the gambling booth that night - a true carny in the making.











Sean and AJ in line for food. Sean broke out into an improvisational balancing act - too bad he wasn't wearing his mime costume.













Sean in a conversation with a questionable carny-folk individual. Perhaps he's offering him some smack, wack, rock or purple haze. Maybe he's commenting on the lovely weather, we'll never know for sure.











This is a photo of the rusty, death trap Sean insisted on riding over and over again.













Miz Debbie and Jake working the wheel and having a great time. I just noticed that Debbie is wearing a Lowe's apron.












Here is Shannon hard at work at something. Possibly a caricature of the happy couple?



To sum it up, everyone pictured had fun at the carnival. That does not include me.
