Lets Talk Turkey

This thanksgiving we got to go up and visit Our Grandma Barbra in Reno. We were joined by Mel's sister Amber, David her husband, and their daughter Abigail. Also we saw Mel's other sister Jewel, who is watching over Grandma in Reno. It was a meat friendly affair ( sorry Mel and Jewel ) and it was spectacular. In all we spent three restful days in Reno and once again we are left wishing we had more time to spend with friends and family.

Ho ho Halloween

This Halloween Mel and I got the chance to have two of our nephews ( Braiden and Gabriel ) spend the night on All Hallows Eve. They got to try out potential costumes for the next day as well as help Aunt Melody with cooking dinner and yes, dessert. The next night on halloween we got to go trick or treating with them. I even got to sample some of their candy to make sure it wasn't poisoned. It's a tough job, but a burden I shall bare as their Uncle.

Sorry

Hello I don't know if anyone still checks in on this site due to the inactivity but, I just thought it was time for a new post. I like to follow other peoples posts and some reason we just never get around to working on our own.

I am currently listening to Jack Johnson doing a cover song of the White Stripes as I peck away at this key board. I think I will put a cute picture with this post so that it will get some attention. Okay, now I have some Queen " another one bites the dust" on, ( man, I type slow). I can't literally finish typing one paragraph before another song starts. Maybe that is a sign that I should do more post so I can get more practice at this typing thing. Oh man, now it is on Guns & Roses, this is so embarrassing.

Hot Hot dog days of summer

Our house is an oven in this summer heat. Cold showers have never felt so good. Our dog Harley, likes to put her face up against the screen on the window in hopes of catching a slight breeze. But, if you turn on the hose in the backyard Harley will go running. I thought dogs were supposed to love the water. I guess that is one of those ideas we should submit to "Myth Busters", or is it just our dog that is so confused.

OK OK. Maybe once a week was to lofty of a goal seen as it has been over 10 weeks since our last blog , but don't judge us, you are the nosey ones. So now that I got that off my chest We are ready to move on. More pics on the way but for now here is a glimps of are past few months. We have been watching our nephews and washing them after they got a hold of one of melody's chocolate cupcakes. and much much more to come. Got to go, bye

Slacking

Wow, it has been a long time since our last post. The truth is we are having trouble loading new pics from our camera into our computer. But regardless we are determined to push on and get more posts up on a far more regular basis. We are going to aim for one a week.

Cheers,
We just got back from our two week trip to Scotland. We had a blast! It was truly a time we shall always cherish. It was fun to drive on the wrong side of the road and not get honked at. The weather was chilly but very acceptable. We got to wear out our scarfs that Mandy made us for Christmas, (Thank you very much Mandy). We went and saw some great live bands and even better pubs. It is true that the beer is better there, and the whisky is quite good. We saw Loch Ness as well as some castles and other old stuff. Overall though we spent most of our time in the beautiful town of Inverness. The food was great there, mostly organic and comfort food. The River Ness ran right through the center of town and thus the seafood was outstanding, (mel thought, not me, all seafood is disgusting ). And yes I did try the Hagus and yes it was disgusting, Mel was a wimp and never attempted the Hagus, but that may have been due to my face expressions as I choked it down.
