Pictures from our trip

We'll post more soon, but wanted to at least get a few up....

I love copy machines!!

OK, that is kind of a lie. Right now (and I'd like you to note that it is about 20 minutes after I was supposed to leave) my hero the copy repairman is tearing apart my machine because it abruptly stopped doing anything about 50 copies shy of my goal (somewhere around 700 bulletins) I think he could hear that I was about to burst into tears because there was no one else to handle getting the copier fixed so it had to happen before I leave ona plane at 6 a.m. tomorrow!!! Alleluia, he is here. Now we are just praying it is something fixable without ordering a part or something equally time-consuming. For those of you wondering why this pushed me within about an inch of meltdown....it is because the exact same thing happened last year as I was trying to leave for Christmas!!! This copier does not like Christmas (I think it is a "Happy Holidays" copier!!!) That is me, the crazy copy girl, signing off in hopes of leaving soon!

Merry Christmas!!!!

We just wanted to wish everyone (all two of you!) that visits our blog a Merry Christmas! We are heading off to Zion Nat'l Park, UT and Phoenix, AZ with Carole's family, so we are looking forward to some sun and warmth! Smokey is excited too, that he gets to go to Bowzer's B & B (we are telling him it is a spa, not a kennel) Hopefully all goes smoothly there!
In other news....
last night we got complimentary tickets to an improv comedy theatre here in Bellingham that is owned by Ryan Stiles of "Whose Line Is It" Mr. Stiles lives on the same lake the camp is on and so therefore knows our buddy Nichol who used to have Brandon's job. They went to visit and long story short he got us some free tickets. But the really exciting thing was we didn't think he would be performing, it wasn't advertised at all that he was. But he did!! We had a lot of fun and it was a good evening out, even if it did mean a short night's sleep!
We aren't sure how much chance we'll have to update while on vacation, but we will if we can!!

We have a Neph-dog!!!

Brandon's sister Melissa just adopted this cutie-pie, Drake. He is an American Bulldog and at 60 pounds is probably about half-size! Uff-da! He'll be able to put Smokey in his place, for sure!
