ahhh cute lil family

was out at the park on Tues evening
and these ducks came from no where
they were so tiny and the mama
apparently didn't feel threatened
with me there, as she was taking
them back out when too many people were around.  She practically ate
some bread out of my hands

the babies were right beside her the whole way.  I did get chuckles though
they went to another mom and she pecked at them I felt bad but knowing
that is the way things in nature work.   They soon found the right mom

Hope it makes you smile the same as it did me

Gold Medal Hodgepodge volume 85

Today I am linking up with http://joyce-fromthissideofthepond.blogspot.com if you have not 

ever stopped over you are really missing out.  This is the hodgepodge and is so

much fun...Joyce asked us 5 questions and all you have to do is answer them

in your own words

Gold Medal Hodgepodge Volume 85

Welcome to the weekly Wednesday Hodgepodge...answer the questions on your own blog then add your link to the bottom of my post. The more the merrier!

1. The summer Olympics begin next week and London is playing host. If you had the chance to go in person what (non-Olympic) London site would you most like to visit? Birmingham Palace   

2. What is something in your life right now that feels like an Olympic event?

Struggling with everyday life choices.  

3. What's your favorite supper to prepare and serve when it's too hot to cook?

chicken salad always good to me, and my new found drink out here in CA

watermelon water :)

4. July 18th is National Get Out of the Doghouse Day...when was the last time you were 'in the doghouse?'  I can't remember the last time that I was

"in the doghouse" but wait...I did have to help the puppies and had to climb

in their house does that count?

5. What television commercial do you find particularly irritating or inappropriate? You may not answer with 'all of them'. I know some of you were thinking about it.  head-on

6. Share one interesting piece of news from the year you were born.

The King of Jordan and President Abdel Nasser of Egypt sign a joint defence agreement in case of a conflict with Israel. The year was 1967

7. What's the best part of your average day?

talking to the love of my life, and sharing my friendship with 

Val...she is so awesome and a Godsend to me

8. Insert your own random thought here.

A seat belt may double as air guitar in the event of traffic

go figure this one out...lol :)

many of you will figure out who this is by my post

glad to be back with the HP :)

fair time already?

 the worlds largest hamburger
it looked almost good enough to eat








I could go for a pretzel or fries
that big...(i try not to eat to many
taters though)

ok this giant corn-dog takes the place of food
so many good and yummy choice to choose
from while your at the fair, did really good this
year didn't eat any junk food while there

this is a beam from Tower-1
world trade center
weighing in at 29,000 lbs
this was very somber felt  like
was actually at NY.

these little girls  were outrageously
limber their bodies were bent in half
you can blow the pic up and see how they were bent..talk about cringing

have a seat?  these people were
so talented walking on stilts, much less
dancing? I would have already cracked my
head.

 more stilt people
this one was cool
it looked like some
exocitc thing of the past but
still very cool





KUDDOS up to this gal
not only was she walking on very tall
stilts but was dancing and doing
better than most can dance on their
on two feet.

The fair last a whole month and is very nice
for the time of year, this is the first
time I have ever been to a county fair
in July

It had matching steering wheel and
seat overs (they matched the flowers)

Hope everybody is doing great.
