Fall Fun

While I was feeling really bad and wishing that I could have been there to see Tyler play water polo with my ENTIRE family, I had to settle for the next best thing. I went to a nearby national park and went for a hike! The fall colors were in full force. Here are some pictures.



We hiked the Appalachian Trail!



Saw some great sights!



And JUMPED!! Of COURSE!!

HHOMMME RUUUNNN

just thought I'd remind you of that night we were on the big screen twice at the padre game!! ..haha....maybe this is why...

What was on the big screen...

So it just dawned on me that in 90 days from today I will be half a century old!!! Seriously, that is creepy to think let alone verbalize or type.
But I am not going to dwell on the sorry state of things in this blog - rather I am going to show you some of the more interesting things that were happening around the time I entered the picture.
So lets start at the movies.

Miss Marlyn Monroe has a spicy flick out, but I would assume that GrammaLainie and Grandpa Ray did not go to see it! The who could forget the killer movie Ben-Hur. I rented this from the video store on one of our last LONG road trips and could hardly get through it ... it's like 4 1/2 hours long. But it does have that great gladiator scene with "Moses" whipping the bad guy. I know that my folks must have seen this.




Then there was the comical movie Pillow Talk - with Doris Day and Rock Hudson. I just can't bring myself to put a clip on this blog however - it all just seems so wierd.

And Lastly, I love Alfred Hitchcock movies so I am delighted to know that North by Northwest was also produced in 1959. The stud Cary Grant is in this little flick, and I actully still like to TiVo this movie when it comes on the 24 Hour Oldy Movie channel ---- oh no, what am i saying!!!

New Family Blog .... New Address ..... and Private.

Due to popular demand - we are now private, which just means that if you want someone to be able to see the blog then we need to add their e-mail address to out permissions page. No biggy but I don't want to leave important family members out.

So now that we are private - BLOG!!!

Dear Everyone

I just wanted to say PROPSSS to madre for making our new TOTALLY AWESOME family picture :) I guess you might be able to tell our family likes LOST. :) What surprises me is how much we look like these people! (we will make an exception...Dan doesn't necessarily remind us of Ben) :) Anyway, also if anyone wants to keep up with our blog after this coming month PLEASE comment and leave your email!! I think people got confused with the 4 deleted comments on that last post, but it was just me messing around. If you comment with your email it will stay hidden and no one will see it but us. We've only gotten a few people to leave their email...I hope more of you are interested in keeping up with our blog, cuz I know there will be many more awesome things to come!!! :) Love you all and miss you!
love Sharee
