The riveting, horrible, hypnotic Pumpkin Dance

Is that a purr or the rumble of doom?!

My favorite squadron name, flying one of Steve's favorite planes.

Touring the USS Midway

Bad ass turtle

Post flight

No one fell into the rhino enclosure. It was a total success!

Before flight

Caren and I psych ourselves up

Soar like a condor

Larry got us all tickets for the zipline at the Wild Animal Park. Whee!

Grades are done!

Our celebratory dinner of pizza and beer

Our first dusting of the season

Bea only made it a few steps onto the porch before deciding snow
wasn't for her.

Here I come to save the day!

Sebsy fights a never-ending battle for truth, justice, and the Noodle-y way

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

Give it a ponder with James Lipton

Caesar's on Black Friday

And now in the "Why didn't I think of this?" category...

eeg elecrodes + star wars theme = fun for nerds of all ages
I'm thinking of buying one of these, is that wrong?

Burger Bar veggie burger

What they fail to mention is that it is the best veggie burger evah!

Veterans day parade

Steven's group looking so dapper

Uncle Sam ...

Fall is upon us

First Cardinals game

With totally awesome seats!

Prepping for the big day

Placecards for Sally and Ginny's wedding.

On our way to San Diego

Airplane head

Sebsy demonstrates great form in this airplane head exercise, but
points must be deducted for less-than-perfect symmetry.

For Michele

New brains ...

for our Roomba. Good robot help is so hard to find.

Inside THE CLIMATRON!

Checking out the Botanical Gardens in St. Louis.

Trust Billy Dee ...

he knows what's in that paper bag.

Whoo hoo!

Snackin' and relaxin'

Waitin' for the Old 97's show.

Sunstreaker and friends

Steven's mom sent some of his old transformers. Move over PS3, we've
got some old skool entertainment.

Our new table!

Did someone keep the sink running?

In the middle of the St. Louis galleria mall you can find this water
feature. It looks like someone flooded a sunken seating area. I
particularly like the handrail leading you to the flooded floor.

Meet Fiona

This too adorable Irish Wolfhound puppy was at the vet when Sebsy got
his jaw wire removed. She has beachy waves just like Gisele Bundchen.

Ah, the freshly mowed lawn!

Started mowing at 8:30 to beat the three-digit heat index. Afterwards
I followed the kitties lead and lay down on the tile floor in the
kitchen to cool off.

Hot day at the ballpark

Go Grizzlies

Bugs Buzz-Kill

Ca-razy! I don't see Gonzo anywhere in those clips. Coincidence? I think not.

Stubborn Noodle

Poor, stubborn Noodle. After his surgery last week, Sebsy has been refusing to eat. So yesterday he had another surgery to put in a feeding tube. Hopefully, now that we can get food directly into his tummy, he'll start feeling better soon.

That's the tube on the left side of his head; it gives him an eerie resemblance to Locutus of Borg.

Step 5

Listen to the meows of thanks coming from outside while you relax on the couch.

Step 4

Let cat frolic on deck/kitty prison.

Step 3

Zip tie bamboo to the top rail and to wooden supports to prevent over-rail escape.

Step 2

Staple deer mesh around the deck to prevent between-slats or under-rail escape.

Step 1

Build gate using weather-proof wood, galvanized hinges, miter saw, measuring tape, and iPhone (handy level and calculator apps).

Summer Project: Kitty-proof the deck

Wet Noodle

Poor Sebsy! Yesterday he broke his jaw when he was on the wrong side of a 58lbs falling speaker. He had surgery today to remove a tooth and wire together his broken jaw bones. (His mouth will be staying open like that for a few days.)

Then to add insult to injury he had to get a bath when he finally got home. The indignity of it all.

Say WHAT?!?!?!

This is billed as the heart-healthy pizza. Well, it does have some spinach.

Awesome pals!

I didn't even get sick on the river tour; this place is magical.

And the winner is....

"This seems like science, not psychology."
Thank you for taking part in the first W&S poll!

Deep fried mac & cheese

Someone must attempt this at the next Fryday!

BeaBea tried...

to do it Mindy's way. This isn't nearly as cute, but it sure is efficient.

Take my quiz y'all!

Happy spring!
