Now see the beautiful sunset ore the ocean blue Fiery colors due abound of poems there are a few I wish that I could write one, about that perfect hue But nothing rhymes with Orange Orchards stretch for miles, they never seem to stop Their nectar-baring fruit is one that’s hard to top A fruit…

It’s the Great Halloween Race, Charlie Brown!
How. Much. Fun. Is. This. These are my kids before their second Great Halloween Race…and my Dad’s first. Tanner ran the 5K, Drew ran a 10K, Dad was a course monitor. I ran my third Halloween 10K. I’m so tickled to report that three was a charm; I posted a personal best today. SO FUN….
In my day…
….we had lemonade stands. Nowadays, well…not so much. But it sure made for a funny break from my hot, crappy run.
Om…
We have a family of chipmunks in our backyard that continues to provide a lot of amusement. This morning when I sat down to breakfast, I caught a glimpse of Buddha out the corner of my eye. I turned to look and…there he was. Little chipmunk just chilled out on top of Buddha Man’s head.
Art is Trash
Saw an article this morning and I’m still cracking up. An artist named Francisco de Pájaro (all photos in this post are credited to him) searches for trash at night and turns it into art to make people laugh. He has a blog, too, called Art is Trash. This is the best thing ever.
Beautiful Bulldogs
Meet Lucey, recent winner of Drake University’s Most Beautiful Bulldog Pageant. She aspires to be a therapy dog and promises to devote her reign to the pursuit of world peace. (Okay, I made that last part up.) I look forward to this announcement every year, but I’m sorry, these are the funniest photos I’ve seen…
Gotta go now.
Okay. So how am I gonna get out of this one? Maybe I’ll hide. Nope. She’s still there. Maybe I can just hold really still until I become invisible. Nope. She’s still there. That’s it. I’m outta here. (While I didn’t actually hear this specific dialogue when this particular chipmunk encounter went down, that is…
Little Bit of This, Little Bit of That
Christmas just wouldn’t be Christmas without posting at least one ornament photo from my parents’ tree. Of course I picked my little ice cream spoon and construction paper angel. I have no idea how old I was when I made her, but judging by the way I wrote my name on the back, I’m thinking…
Geeez …
Just a small glimpse into what happens when we shop for socks and boxers in our house. Gotta say, my kids are funny and fearless. Not shown: my hot pink compression socks for running. They’re supposed to help prevent further injuries. Given that my single pair of running socks cost as much as nine pairs…
Hey there!
Sitting through a marathon meeting today, I had my phone sitting on the table in front of me. I really was paying attention to the contents, but I couldn’t help but notice a monster in my phone’s reflection. Turns out that it was the light fixture way up above, but it made me laugh.
And then there were…
THREE! Check it out! Country Bear Jamboree now has a family!
Top O’ the Lou to Ya
Started the weekend with a couple of buddies at the St. Patrick’s Day Parade Race, a five-mile run that boasts some 12,000 runners. Well…”runners” might be too strong of a term. Given the above photo, let’s try “participants“. And it was such a blast! This guy was one of many folks who dressed for the…
Because…
…every Thursday needs to begin with a pink penguin sugar cookie.
Because…
….every Wednesday should begin with a video of a two-year old jiving. (Watch to the end.) And every person who misses an office pizza party should have colleagues who set aside the leftovers for them…with a smile. Two small things that gave me big laughs today.
Now that’s not necessary…
What is it about these sweet, happy little Yuletide chocolate bears that brings out the meanie vandal in some people? Last year, it was the big bears on the store shelf. Those aren’t eye patches, folks. This year, the little guys got it, albeit not as blatant or pirate-like. But still. Who’s gonna want Mr….
Blushing Bear-to-Be
My back route to work is finally open after months of repair and look what happened. Not only is Country Bear Jamboree a girl, she’s getting married! I’m gathering that someone in the owners’ house is tying the knot. It wouldn’t be unusual for these folks; another life event in the house was reflected when…
Priceless
Because every week should begin with a video of gorillas who are enchanted by a caterpillar.
Speech lessons
Funniest video I’ve seen in a long time. This walrus rocks it out.
You Snooze, You Lose
(Sorry, you might not think this is as funny as I did.)
hey there, friends
