I think Julia and Joey to go to see the real Statue of Liberty! How about it Mom and Dad?

Funday Monday-The Big Bad Wolf

This is a picture of my grandog, Jake. Ralph has renamed him the Big Bad Wolf! Now I gotta tell you, Jake is not that big, nor is he bad, and he is definitely not a wolf!  And Ralph sure enjoyed throwing toys and stick for him! He just thought it was cute to use that terminology for Jake.He is still a puppy, who likes to jump on people, wants to play with little dogs, aka, Billy, and has a penchant for chewing on things, especially water goggles! Many times while sitting on the steps of the porch, Jake would bite, kiss my ear. That sure was a good way to almost lose an earring! Billy did not like him at all! Nothing new for him, as he is afraid off all dogs! But, I really liked Jake a lot! He will soon grow out of his puppy ways, and probably never kiss me again, and his mom won't go broke, replacing water goggles! I'll be waiting to see you again next summer Jake, this time, probably without Ralph or Billy!

Silent Sunday-Cooling Off

More Of The Falls

These photos were taken between the Three Sister's Islands. Lot of rapids going on all over! Unfortunately, these pictures do not do the area justice, with all its beauty.

This last photo is of the Maid Of The Mist boat. In all my visits to Niagara Falls, I never went on that boat.

Funday-Monday Old Man In The Mountains

If you have ever been to New Hampshire's White Mountains, Franconia Notch, you probably saw The Old Man in the Mountain! That is, before May 3rd, 2003. You see, on that date, the old man fell to his demise. I know I saw him many times while vacationing up that way. He was quite the spectacular site, and many people miss him! The second picture is a composite image, (by Rob Gallagher), of what it looked like before and after the rocks fell. But don't be sad any longer folks, as the third photo is the newest Old Man in the Mountain!!! No problem that he is in the mountains of WV and not NH., cause at least he is an OLD MAN! So do you think his image will also be on a coin someday?

(And you were wondering why I put this post on Funday Monday for awhile huh?)

1st Day In MA, by Billy

We drove and drove and drove and drove, well, you get the picture. The Mom and Dad decided to take three days to get to MA instead of the usual two. I was a little disappointed when I heard they were going to do that, cause I wanted to see my bro's as soon as possible. But you know, they really made the right decision! The usually end up getting on each other's nerves about directions and such. This time, only one little argument took place! It was great! Mom says now, she can't even remember what it was about. So after tons of great snacks in the car, and stops about every two hours, and two sleep-overs, we arrived in MA about 10:30 in the AM. We made arraignments to see my big bros right away. That sure was fun, so much that, this was how I spent my first evening. All cuddled up and cozy with my Dad.
