The cuteness of this...

...cannot be denied!



I am just glad the kid did not feel the urge to relive nature while playing the synth!

Dominoes falling, part i

When I was a kid I used to enjoy setting up dominoes and knocking them down. It was fun and I always enjoy watching it happen, now I have nowhere near the patients to do it...this guy and his cat on the other hand really enjoy it. I will post five videos over the next five days. Let me know which one you like the most. Enjoy!

Stop motion imagery

Head over here and check out these cool stop motion shots. You might have to let them load for a minute, but when they get going they are kinda cool.

Hail damage




If you click on these photos, they should open up so you can see the hail damage on the bell tower steeple. That was some storm!

Hail and it's aftermath



So we were getting ready for 6PM Mass and the heavens opened up, the TV was telling us there was a tornado coming our way. We decided to wait on Mass until we knew that the storm had passed. So we had everyone leave the chapel and head to utility room. The rain started and the hail soon followed. As you can see from the photos it was an amazing amount of hail, and it sounded horrible. I was sure we were going to loose some windows, thank goodness we did not (well Deacon Gayle did). The storm passed and we went out to survey the damage. You can see how much hail we got from the photos. We went on with Mass about 15 mins late, with steam rising outside, it was kind of eerie. After Mass, folks were showing up for RCIA and told me that my street had tons of hail on it. As you can see when I got home about two hours later there was still plenty on the road, in my yard, all over the place. Oh! did I mention that the pine trees bore the brunt of the storm? You could smeel the fresh pine all over the place. Anyway, the house seemed to be fine...until I checked it this morning. As you can see the western side of the house will have to have some major work done on it. We are lucky no one was hurt in the storms, the things we can fix or replace...but even those are not too bad. One final note, there was a small rainbow at the back of the storm...God still there for us!

This would be fun to have

Could you imagine taking this to a slumber party?

Hail at Church...more later

I do not want to go there


I think motorist should let us bikers and hikers have the middle of the road on this lane.

At vet

Something is wrong with Rosie, so we are at the vet. More later.

UPDATE: Vet says Rosie was in quite a bit of pain. She did something (nothing broken) to her elbow. He gave her a shot of an anti-inflammatory, which seems to be working nicely. If she is not much better in the morning, the Dr. says he will give her some pain pills. I will let you know if it gets worse. Peace

I need this for the cats

The Control a Cat, cat remote, I am not sure how well it works, but it could not hurt.

Song for your afternoon

Two great musicians making sweet music.
