Dang these little guys....
....Virtual Villagers that is!
If you never played Virtual Villagers...YOU MUST!
Here is a little about it from the Website....www.virtualvillagers.com.
I have ALL three and I LOVE THEM...until they all die :)
A Game Set On The Fictitious Island Of Isola
Somewhere in the Pacific, there was a beautiful island, called Isola, where lost villagers made their home . . .
Virtual Villagers 3: The Secret City
CHAPTER 3: Embark on a new journey with a group of villagers in search of a new part of the island to populate. Land on the hidden shores of the northern side of Isola and explore what was once a secret city. Who lived here before? Where have they gone? What is the secret of Isola?
Virtual Villagers 2: The Lost Children
CHAPTER 2: Follow two curious, determined villagers as they make their way into the darkest recesses of the cave that had long taunted them. Plunge with them into dazzling sunlight and mist, as a magnificent waterfall at once cuts them off from their friends and family and brings them face to face with ... children!
Virtual Villagers 1: A New Home
CHAPTER 1: A few lucky survivors flee from a volcanic eruption. After days of drifting in the sea, they land onto the shore of a mysterious island. As they look around, they beheld what appeared to be an empty and isolated paradise! Maybe they would have a chance after all..
I JUST can not get enough!! I can't wait to check on my villagers each day!

Vacation of sorts.....

We aren't home but we aren't gone. We are gone, but were not.......so without any more information. I had a chance to reboot myself today and TAKE SOME PHOTOS...OMG call the Authorities!

EVERYONE should do....
this just once! And that is Four-Weelin down the driest river bed you can find with water now and then. OMG...this was a totaly spur of the moment thing for us, but HOLY CRAP was it fun!
I am so grateful to our friends at Duncan Lakes for inviting us to go along. This year, getting to know you all has been so awesome. You are all such wonderful people and I am very glad to know you all.
I particularly had a great time! I have ALWAYS been a four-wheeling girl. Growing up, I spent ALOT of my time driving through the pasture, then I advanced to racing through the pasture. I was such a wild woman, my brother's would even ride with me...little alone try and race me. I was fast :) Guess I always had that racin in my blood.

This is NUTS...
Heat Advisory in Effect today for Central and Eastern Nebraska where Heat Indisies could reach as high as 115! WHAT THE HELL! Sorry, but good lord, this is ridiculous. I would much rather take a nice comfortable 72 degrees. This is just stupid and I am getting tired of it being humid. This summer has not been too terribly bad....UNTIL the last couple of weeks, now I would rather see it gone!

Whew.....
THAT ended up being a great run for Clint Bowyer today in Pocono. What started off looking like another disasterous and unlucky day for my Cup driver ended up quite well with a nice comfortable 6th place finish for my boy. WHOOOOOOO! Thank the lord. We will take it and off to Watkins Glen next week with some MUCH need momentum.
Between driving home from the Cabin, attending our nieces and nephews birthday party, catching the first 20 laps of the cup race, carting Ron around with the truck, stopping at Molly's House, watching the Beaver Valley Days parade, come home to catch the last of the cup race, visting my forums, helping Ron make supper and then going to bed early.........
THIS was the busiest Sunday we have had in a while and I'll pass on another for a couple of weeks. MAN....I was pooped, but then again the fact that it was like 101 degrees out didn't help a thing.
I have some pictures from the Kids birthday which are on Ron's camera...so hopefully I can get those off of there and up here.....
Hope one and all has a wonderful upcoming week!!!

when it comes to scrapbooking or even taking photos. I did this layout in just a matter of minutes and it is one of my favorites of late. But the subject kind of made me giggle. I had looked at this photo of my "good" dishes a million times, but never felt the urgue to scrap it until now....so here it is!
