We Have a Visitor...

Bob Barker is paying a visit to the Cherokee reservation today to talk with them about the bear zoos there. It will be interesting watching the reaction of the locals to this. I don't know if he is representing PETA or just working with the same goals in mind, but he has made it clear that he thinks the zoos should be shut down.

Happy Anniversary to Me!

Exactly 1144 Monday's ago Randy & I got married : ) We are 3rd generation elopers.

Good Article

Last night I the article "100 Things Your Kids May Never Know About". It was written for Wired magazine & opened up by mentioning the 40th anniversary of the moon landing. I attended Emmanual Lutheran School in West Asheville at the time as a kindergartner. I remember my mom bringing a black & white television equipped with "rabbit ears" to the classroom so we could all watch the moon landing.

I wasn't impressed back then. I am now.

At any rate, things have definitely changed for me as I'm sure they have for all of you. The article reminded me of all kinds of cool memories.

Here's the link.

This Is A Test

If you are reading this then the scheduling problem has been fixed & I will go back to regular posting.

Baby Squirrel

Ever seen one? Me neither till the other night that is. Randy & I were sitting on the side porch & kept hearing something in the yard. We knew it was some kind of animal out there eating but were curious as to what kind it was. Randy got a strong flashlight & shined it on the oak tree where we keep the squirrel food & voila! there was the cutest little tiny squirrel I've ever seen! It was about six inches long (including the tail) & just chowing down!

I love our porch. So much good quiet stuff happens there.

"Man is Charged a Quadrillion Dollars to Smoke"
(I hope it was the good stuff if he paid that much)

"Students Build Hydrogen Vehicle that Gets 1,336 MPG"
(It only cost $170,000 to build)

"British Girl's Heart Heals Itself After Transplant"

"Cats Do Control Humans, Study Finds"
(Duh, I've known that for years)

Happy Sunday

Hope your day is peaceful & good.

All American Pastime

Had a great time at the Asheville Tourists ballgame over the weekend. It's one of the few things left that are still a good entertainment value. The fireworks afterwards were awesome as well.

Happy Sunday

Hope your day is peaceful & good.

Another Raw Food Vitamix Recipe

The vegetables in Western North Carolina have been fantastic this year. We've had plenty of rain & you can sure tell it!

This is one that we make at least once a week. I know it sounds weird but it actually has a pretty good taste & is loaded with both vitamins & fiber.

1 apple
1 small carrot
1 cup pure water
1 small cucumber
1 cup ice
1 tsp nutmeg
1 small piece vanilla bean or 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Blend all together till smooth.

Enjoy!
