American Tradition

I was thinking about something my father-in-law said once; He said he thought there was nothing more American than running through the sprinkler on a hot summer day on your law. Seemed like a fantastic idea today so we did.

Marlon did not like random drops of water sprayed on him...

He was much happier on the porch!

Cooped Up Kids

Heather got a new chicken coop for her 10 chickens! Noli has named 4: Bravey (she ran away once), Thumbalina, Cornelius and Barbie. Mostly she calls them all "Bravey"

Putting the bedding in the coop.

To do good work, you gotta just get into it!

Look guys, there are more in here!

These last two are going to be on Heather's "babysitting advertisement!"

I'm taking a vacation from NC

NC disappointed me yesterday buy voting to limit the rights of its people. The rights of minorities should never be voted on my the majority; that is unAmerican. You know what else is unAmerican? Legislating anyone's religious beliefs, we are supposed to be known for not doing that. It is a dark day in NC history and one that hopefully will be short lived. So to that end, we are all taking a vacation from NC today, at least in spirit.
