What is this?

June 23, 2008 by Maren 7 Comments

Which type of tree does this come from?  I would really like to know… I saw this on a walk tonight and thought maybe someone on Xanga woiuld be familiar with it.  I had never seen one to my knowledge and thought the ‘flowers??’ were unique and pretty.

 We recently had a great time with Michael’s family in Brown County, IN.  Here are some pics, since that’s what you care about anyway.

And a trip down memory lane!  THEY BROUGHT ONE OF THESE TO LOUISVILLE, FOLKS (or at least the other side of the river)!!!!  This is several notches above Taco Bell, and a standard Oklahoman cuisine!  I was in my happy place after my order of crunchy potato chicken burrito and mexidips & Chips was no more…

AND… WHAT BE THEE?

Contest Answer: Carbonation in a 2 Liter Soda Bottle (Sierra Mist).  Thanks to the few who played.  Better luck next time!  Special Kudos to my sister’s interesting guess: A globe behind glass that has drops of water on it.  She thought the dark shape on the left was Africa. A+ for creativity!

Stay Tuned in the near future for another WHAT BE THEE? Contest! 

The End…

 

The Blessing of Little Things

Michael and I spent time yesterday on a hike in a nearby forest.  We stopped along our trail to enjoy a few of the smaller things in life.  We had a great hike!

My Family, Hip Hip Hooray!

May 13, 2008 by Maren 5 Comments

Probably 4 out of 5 people in America would claim that their family is the best.  I, however, have proof, which only 8 out of the rest of America can effectually validate. 

Regardless of how random we are called to act, my family knows how to have a good time.

 Dive, Laura, Dive!

We were all together this weekend.  Thanks to the SURPRISE of ROSS & LAURA, the SURPRISE of STERLING, and the ingeniousness/generosity of GRIFFIN in helping Sterling complete the biggest surprise in Meyers’ history.

When we’re together, life is wonderful.  Laura instigated a walk.  Maren, the walking fog horn, rounded the troops.   The troops participated willingly (or with a smile, at least…) & Mom, the spontaneous one, called the photo shots.

 There were about 2 seconds to get in position before mom snapped the next picture.

And sometimes that wasn’t much time…

And that my friends, is why I love my family.  Because we are anything but normal. The proof is in the picture…and you can thank me for not exposing the wedgy I was receiving and the wad of pink striped underwear that Michael had in hand.

I appreciate my ‘special’ family.  And now, you’ll have to agree, that you’ve seen the proof of the best family.  Now only 1 in 5 Americans will claim their family is the best, because from the pictures, they’ve clearly been outdone.
