GermanFest has come and gone

Another year of cooking brats and pork chops, drinking a little adult Kool-Aid and catching up with people I only see once a year. Of course you know, everyone there worked so much harder than I did. I seem to have a way of choosing the easy jobs. I hear the t-shirts, kraut labels and such were a big hit. (Thank goodness!) So much pressure when you are designing things for people you see all the time.

Check out this cool face painting job my niece, Ginni Beth Endris, did for Emily. Pretty funny.

If you missed getting to see the bands, Die Mitternachters and Mississippi Swing, here are couple seconds of glory that will make you wish you had been there.
Did you see my nephew, Jacob Cox, rocking that tuba? That stuff makes you wish you'd been there! Doesn't it? Sure it does.

I have resorted to posting unbearable cuteness.

Next, I will begin posting my Pez collection, one at a time.

Daisy Duke is home

5 months old.


Her and Bella are learning to get along. After much coaxing from Bella, Daisy finally tried to play a little. Not knowing her own strength, she playfully batted Bella across the yard. No, she wasn't hurt, just a little freaked out.

Yep, gonna have to get a couple of these suits!

Walmart just has everything Americans need.

New chickens!

Ok, maybe they aren't chickens. They're puppies. They are still very cute.

Meet Bella. She's some sort of Jack Russell Terrier mix.

We picked her up yesterday. She has already taken over our house and freaked out the cats. Her chicken suit will be in soon.

Meet Daisy. Half Lab, half Doberman.

She has to be spayed before she can come home so we don't get her until Saturday. Her chicken suit is on back order due to her large size. I can't wait until my neighbors meet her! I bet she is quite a clucker!

We adopted these girls from the Mississippi Animal Rescue League. Have you seen their new place? Man, it looks all nice and cheery! If you had ever been to the original location, you will definitely notice the difference.

How did I miss this? Happy belated birthday Headless Mike!

Mike the Headless Chicken (April 1945 – March 1947) was a Wyandotte rooster that lived for 18 months after its head had been cut off. Thought by many to be a hoax, the bird was taken by its owner to the University of Utah in Salt Lake City to establish its authenticity.
