this is disgusting!

You can see it didn’t win any ribbons.

This is the first of a series of State Fair photos. Stay tuned.

This is an actual product.

Less than a week away…

Finally. I know the rest of the country seems to be flooding, but here it’s been dry, dry, DRY!

Last night, a downpour. I don’t remember the last time I saw that much rain come down in such a short amount of time.

And afterwards…a perfect rainbow.

Last Saturday witnessed a little family get-together at the parents’ house. What was unusual about this one was the addition of my cousin Sue and her husband erik. We’re so glad they could come!

Oh, but where’s Mum?

Ahh yes, preparing the tasty lunch. Thanks, Mum!

Wait! Someone must have taken these photos.

There he is—Link! (Sorry about the overkill with the red-eye reduction, Link, but seriously, you don’t look nearly so evil now!)

Good times!

Jenn down in Missouri baked me a birthday cake (and ate it for me too, since I live too far away). What an awesome friend! (I love the Godzilla too, by the way…)
