Tombstone

Tombstone

 

We had a lot of fun decorating this year, with a yard full of tombstones, a coffin on the porch, spiders, webs, and ravens. Lots of fun. We set up the coffee and fog machine on Halloween. It was a good night. Little guy only made it to 6 houses before he got so tired that I had to carry his shield, and sword, and crown. He tried to talk me into holding his candy, but I told him that’s where I draw the line. The neighbors were wonderful. Another lovely Halloween in Alamitos Beach.

The Spoils

Enjoying the spoils of the Great Hunt…

(Yeah, the sound is off. Not sure why, so I’m switching to google video. Give it time to buffer.)

The Butterflies and Flowers:

“Easter bunny and flowers and Easter bunny (and eggs) and eggs (butterflies) and butterflies and flowers (and kitty cats) and butterflies (and kitty cats zoom) zoom… Oh, there’s a doggy!”

It’s a cat!:

“(Is it a kit–is it a doggie?) Um, it’s a cat. (So it’s not a doggie…?) It’s a cat! It’s a cat right there. Woa. (Uh-oh) Uh-oh. Uh-oh. (Quiet. Bye bye). Bye bye. I wanna go pet…”

I want to go pet her:

“Kitty right there. See. Oh. See, sister, kitty right there. I want to go pet her. I want to go pet her. I want to go pet her…”

Bye-bye, kitty cat:

“I want to say goodbye kitty cat, already did! Bye-bye, kitty cat…”

Wonder Full Birthday

Posted in 2007, Birthdays, Friends, Holidays, Photos, Video, Wondering on March 1, 2007 by Whispering Wood

There was a birthday party. It was lots of fun. A couple of cherubs were missing, but we tried to have fun for them, too. The BBQ was great, and nobody cried. Well, almost. Wandering did, but only when his head wandered into the sidewalk. Grand fun was had by all, and I found me a new “honey.” ;)

The oh, so incredible snow at dizzyland.
We went with some very good friends, including our dear young friend from Russia who has been staying with us occasionally during this extended trip. We had a blast, and the decorations were fun. As usual, I liked the musicians in New Orleans square.
