My first attempt at video

I took this with my new Fuji F50se. I know I sound like I still smoke 4 packs a day. But come on, it's been almost 10 years. I should probably hold the camera away from my face and not talk so loud. Well, if any of you viewers could give me some pointers, I'll be most thankful.

I keep looking at the back yard

It's Jan.7 and it's 63 out. There's not a snowball to be found. We have the windows and screen doors open. We should be happy not having to shovel a load of snow, everybody except maybe Al Gore. Al Gore and me. I look at the back yard and see a mess. I mean Katie's getting married in this back yard in 174 days and all I see is mud. Well, mud and lots of water. Mr. rabbitt is speechless. so no help there. I seek solace in the pictures from the back yard from early July 2007. Now that is the back yard that could make garden walks.

And there's still no sight of the sun. It should show up around April.

Breakfast at the Grobles'

Blow this picture up to see the ducks.

We may have found evidence that Santa Claus exists. Christmas morning we discovered tracks all over the back yard. Having stepped foot on the roof, I can attest that walking around is easier in the back yard. It's that or maybe we got a herd of deer living in the neighborhood and they know that the Grobles are a good feed. If there are deer, the drunk drivers who hunt them down with their vehicles can't be far away. I'll need to stay vigilant.

Happy New Year

This is Fred's take me to your leader eyes.

This is another reason why dogs will never take over the world. We used a ladder to keep the boys out of the main hall while we were painting it. Worked pretty good. Somebody should have tried it on Dick Cheney.
