THIS one is gorgeous!!

I know what you and Deb are doing... you're making me pine for the Oregon coast.

Well it's WORKING!!!

Anyone wonder who the English teacher was that invented the "Silent Letter"? You know, the letter(s) that is/are not pronounced.

Please

I mean, did some sadistic teacher back in the 1600's suddenly decide, "Hey, let's throw in an extra 'e' in that word just to mix things up a bit." or, "How can I make this language to riddled with exceptions to the rule that it's nearly impossible to learn."

I guess it's better than the French language. I've found that the French just don't pronounce the last half of any word in their vocabulary. That they do, in fact, just throw in a bunch of letters at the end of a word so that it looks cool. Someone in French history really got ahold of the idea that anything that ended in "-eaux" was pretty swell.

Sorry. Just some random thoughts for a Sunday morning.

Awww, what a cute face.

Glad she was found, Deb! What a little stinker, runnin' off like that.

Beauty shots of that coast, too.

Thanks Dan she was a real stink pot ~ She was a joy to have with us and my family loved her well most of them did ..she is so well behaved for the most part ..A real fun dog who shows it !

Poor dog was probably overwhelmed with all the new sights and smells!

Another excerpt for Cat (really, I need to just finish this thing and stop hanging out here.... Sorry) :

It’s about this time that the cool and smooth composure that was a part of the Groom’s appearance begins to crack. Once someone says, “Hey, it’s about to start, you ready?” a switch is thrown. No one really knows if it’s because the Groom has been in denial during the months of engagement or if he simply never really thought about it as life was too busy with Fantasy Football and getting a new stereo system for the car. Either way, as soon as someone mentions that the wedding is about to begin, the Groom realizes that “It” is upon him.

The symptoms are generally the same all across the board.

-The “Deer In The Headlights” look.
-The repetitive, “Huh? What? Who? Huh?”
-Some will argue about the timing, that, in actuality, it is not time, but, perhaps, a period of pre-time. This will allow the Groom a chance to still reside in the safe cocoon of deniability.
-Furtive and repeated looks toward the exit, reminiscent of a cornered animal.
-Sometimes, and with great discomfort to those that witness it, the announcement of “Time” brings bouts of weeping to the Groom.
-In extreme cases, pleas of sanctuary or political asylum.
-Paralysis of the legs, resulting in the Groom’s statement, “I... I can’t move.”
-Occasionally the “Blame Game” starts. Fingers are pointed and accusations are made. “Who’s idea was this, anyway? Did you put me up to this? How did it come to this?”

Allow this to be said. Most men will go through these motions upon the coming of “Time”. It’s instinctive. Even the coolest and most centered guy will wonder if he could make it out the door and into his car before anyone tries to stop him. Every guy, when told that his turn, will start to really think more seriously about that whole French Foreign Legion thing.

Because they think this, some think that the Groom doesn’t love the Bride. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Their hearts could be totally turned over to a future with this woman. Totally captivated by all that is the Bride. He might even be one of those rare beasts that is excited and involved in the planning of the wedding. He may even enjoy wearing the tux and the plastic shiny shoes.

Men will go through these emotions whether it’s at their wedding, or if someone tells them that they need to mow the lawn, or change the light bulb in the hallway.

I love the shots with the wind in her hair. I am guessing the command "come here" is not in her vocabulary. I bet she had a ball running free. I am glad she came back. You should try to find a big fenced in area she can go off leash and run like a tiny little maniac I bet she would love it.

Don't get me started on the English language... A thousand spelling "rules" and then several hundred words that break them.

And why isn't it spelled Fonics?

...sigh...

Yeah, I hated trying to teach my kids some of those "rules". After awhile, one gets tired of receiving that, "You've got to be kidding" look when trying to explain the "I before E except after C" regulation....
