The real amount~ rip off!



And my beautiful model demonstrates how mamy chips are really in the bag

Look at all that room!

What you call a rip off



Has anyone ever had Kettle brand chips? They're pretty good but I think the package they come in is completely ridiculous. In the next two pics I am going to illustrate how little chips you actually get in a big bag. "Oh, they do that because the bag needs air filling so the chips don't get smashed..." They don't need that much air!!

Apple Pickin'



This was from Bishop's Orchard where we went on a very cold day to pick apples for cider, a big thick apple pie, and little caramel apples. It's a fun time..

Crashing the Reformation Day Party



So Jana and I had some fun planning out an invasion into our church's Reformation Day Party by dressing me up as a roman catholic cardinal. I had a little troop of minions with me and we made a procession right in the middle of it complete with a trumpet before I entered down a rolled carpet. We then took to prison a choice protestant rebel and engendered many laughs.

Laughter

Laughter is wine for the soul
- laughter soft, or loud and deep,
tinged through with seriousness -
the hilarious declaration made by man
that life is worth living.

Another quip from our family poet

So we have a crisis in our family.. Jana calls them poop days.. What's that you ask? Ohhh, it's the days that our beloved Julia needs to use the loo. It's an all-day, public family affair. I say public because Julia whines, fights, wrestles, cries and bellows in agony for pretty much the whole day to anyone far or near. Oh, she's quite content to go in her shorts, no issue there. She wrestles like a champ, though we would prefer she wrestle with something that takes a little more courage.

So the quip comes from of course Abigail. She had one of my short tent pegs (a stand in for a magic wand) and says:

"Julia, Now with this magic wand I shall make you go poop!"

Did it work? Yes, only hours later with a movie to distract her.

Old P.J.

Granting to governments the privilege of printing unlimited amounts of money is like giving liquor and car keys to teenage boys.
