Monday's Blog, Final Addition: My Husband the Photographer

Happy Friday everyone! I just finished putting the final touches on the last "Monday" series post. This is a collection of recent photos I stole from my husband's camera. He is such a great photographer...much better than me!


Here are our puppies chasing each other through the dog park. As you can see, the vegetation is very dense...lots of great places for snakes to hide. Matt braved the dog park today...the first time the dogs had been there in at least a month!

This next bunch of photos are of course more of our precious puppies.
Perdi sleeping in the sunlight. She looks almost angelic, quite the contrary to the way she acts when she is awake...

Pongo in a cute sleeping position atop the couch.

He thinks he owns the couch and remote...just one way he is much like his "daddy." :)


Sometimes it is a fight for the sunlight. Pongo is getting inched out here.


The rest of these photos are ones Matt took on our camping trip at the beginning of this month at Golden Gate Canyon State Park.

Melting the chocolate for our s'mores over the fire. Carlene brought strawberry marshmallows this time and it made for one AWESOME s'more.

Sunset at our campsite. A game of Balderdash is in the works.


Perdi guarding our tent....


Cooking dinner on our camping stoves. I believe Matt and I had fajitas that night...one of our camping favorites.


Pongo resting inside the tent. He prefers to chill out in there.

Pongo and I on our Saturday hike. This was toward the end...I was so tired.

A family photo in the mountains...this pretty much describes us! Matt and I, our dogs and the mountains. What more could a person need? :)

Our puppies, passed out after the hike. They are so cute when they are tired and not getting into trouble.

I love Perdi's eyes against the blue Colorado sky in this one.
I could do so many of these kinds of posts with older pictures Matt has taken. So, let me know if you enjoyed this post and I will try to do more. Happy Friday everyone and have a GREAT weekend!

It is a pity, that now I can not express - I hurry up on job. But I will be released - I will necessarily write that I think.

Political Aside

I’m going to apologize in advance for making this blog political for today. There is just one recent development I can’t help but post about. Last week, Congress passed a bill that made it a lot harder for credit card companies to take advantage of people through late fees and overlimit fees. Sounds great, huh? This bill would have been a lot better if there hadn’t been a certain “add-on” bill piggy backing on to the credit card legislation, making it legal for concealed weapons to be carried in national parks, as long as they are licensed and registered. Now unless you are going into a national park to shoot condors or bald eagles (which is ILLEGAL!), I cannot think of a single reason why you would need to have a concealed weapon in a national park. It’s not like they are huge hot spots for gangs, thugs and violence. National Parks are set up as a refuge for endangered species and a place where wildlife can live uninhibited. Where a hunting license would be required to shoot wildlife ...

The Power of the Mind

I believe in the power of the mind. It seems to me that a simple thought can solve (or create) many problems. Let me explain. Say you haven’t been sick in a really long time, and you don’t even notice. And just then when you get to thinking “Wow, I really haven’t been sick in a long time,” you come down with a cold. It’s like one little thought can trigger a physical reaction. I had a similar experience at work. My computer software used to crash a lot, which was really annoying. Recently, it has been running well until I had the thought “Wow, this software hasn’t crashed in a long time.” Five minutes later, it crashes. So many of these occurrences have been happening to me lately that it hardly seems like it can be coincidence. Now, if only I could use the power of my mind to figure out my latest programming issues for school…it suddenly doesn’t seem so easy as to “think it in.” Last Saturday morning and Monday mornings, I had to get up at 4 am to let Pongo out. He usually has a bladd...

Interlude: Tuesday Thoughts

One of my favorite TV shows to watch is “Jon and Kate Plus 8”. For those of you who don’t know, it’s a show which chronicles the life of a couple (Jon and Kate) with twins and sextuplets. Last night, Jon and Kate made a big (but expected) announcement. They are getting divorced. Due to all of the rumors in the media, this was not a shock. But I find it ironic that Jon and Kate started doing the show because it was “what was best for the kids.” Granted, it made them a LOT of money and skyrocketed them to fame. But ultimately, and I can only speculate, (they don’t ever really officially say what specifically lead to the divorce) that the fame and money are what dissolved their marriage. Clearly, the show was not really what was best for the kids in the end. I think I am mostly upset about this because I just read Kate’s book “Multiple Blessings,” which was written a couple years ago when she and Jon were still completely in love. I miss that. I really love their story. It was hard to rea...
