Grilling out back

Making some hamburgers and hot dogs out back. Here's a snap of one of the statues in my parents backyard.

Sabbatical - Week 5

Just got back into town from Wake Forest, NC. Made Filipino sausage, longanisa, for the first time this morning. Yum!

Time to return the library books

Day of the Model Rocket?

Found an old model rocket with a launch pad. Going to assemble it and launch it, hopefully. I'm wondering if model rocket engines go bad over time. ..

Cupcake before bed?

Well, it's summer vacation. Should be alright.

Twisted Sisters

I heard Melanie talking about this and randomly came across them. About to check them out!

Pip Squeaks

Crayola markers come in so many more colors than when I was a kid.

Cookiebot has arrived!!

Leilani has been asking for this for about a month. I can't wait to read it!

I usually see English and Spanish

Aguas de Marco

Listening to Jobim while waiting for my mom at Boone Clinic. The sky decided to open up right when the song started. So coincidental.

It's been a few days, and I think I finally realized that I didn't think the new spiderman movie was that great. It may be partly due to the fact that it didn't seem like a reboot. "Star Trek" and "Batman Begins" seemed like real reboots. Maybe because the new versions of those set themselves far enough apart from their predecessors somehow.

Brave

I really like it when I take the kids to the movie and the movie ends up being really good. Because I the hot weather, I ended up seeing this one twice. I hope the kids never have to turn me into a bear. I actually like salmon, so I guess that would be a perk if that ever happened.

Bossa Nova over Bluetooth

Fireworks from Mossycup

Peyton and I watched the Mt Trashmore fireworks on July 4th from Mossycup Drive.

102 in the shade

I parked the car under a tree when we went to Church yesterday. I can't believe it read 102. Nothing compared to Northern Virginia, I hear.

Sabbabtical - Week 4

It's now the start of week 4 of the sabbatical. I can't believed I survived running between the hospital, doctors appointments, movie theaters, the beach, my mom's house, and my in-laws' house last week. I even let the blog go I posted for 3 days!

The photo is a snapshot of Oggie, my friend's mom's dog. As long as I have known them, they've had some kind of dachshund. I captured this pic rigt before we went to the pool.
