We are family!



You're probably wondering why I chose this. It's actually an interesting story. A few years ago when my brother still lived at home, we got very bored. So we decided to toss a fun size Snickers bar back and forth across the living room. Well, my mom had an oil lamp similar to this one on the mantle behind where my brother was sitting. I threw it too high and it hit the top glass part and made it fall on the floor and shatter. We both just looked at each other and didn't know what to do. My mom was not very impressed.



This isn't a picture of my dog but it's the closest thing I could find. Her name is Maggie and her ears have longer black hair than this one. We got her at the beginning of Summer 2013 and she just turned a year old earlier this month! She can be a little brat sometimes but she is the best cuddle buddy.



When I was really young, my brother would scare me with his toy tarantula. My dad got so fed up with hearing me whine and cry about it. So he took my brother's toy tarantula and threw it in the woods behind our house. We never saw it again and my brother never went looking for it.



Over 5 years ago, my neighbor's grandson wrecked their Ford Explorer and my dad bought it off of them to scrap it and make some money. Then my dad changed his mind. He decided to turn it into a timber buggy. He took all the doors off and got it running again. We would take it riding in the woods and have a good ole time. We called it the "truggy".



This is a restaurant that is about 4 miles from our house. It is midway between Lacon and Spring Bay. My family has been going there for over 10 years. It is our favorite restaurant and I currently work there! We know the owners personally so it is always a pleasant experience when we go there to dine.

  2. That was pretty green of your dad to use an old wreaked vehicle for a timber buggy.
