A Little Slice of Heaven
With the gas prices so high and having to pull the Scamp with a truck that only gets 15 mpg, we decided to create our own campground. Welcome to Frank's Mill Campground. This summer only our camper and our friends camper were down in the meadow by the river, but that's okay. It is a most beautiful spot and is a great place to view the eagles, birds, and butterfiles. The fishing isn't even so bad.
New Hatch
These butterflies were hatched at Maggie's daycare. We found the caterpillar's on the dill in our garden. The kids had a great time watching the cacoon's form and change as the butterflies developed. They were let go into the backyard. Now Grandpa and Grandma are looking for more caterpillars.

boys and their toys
What is it with the male gender when it comes to toys? You've heard the one - the bigger the boy, the more expensive the toys? I do think it is a guy thing. I remember a Volkswagen commercial on TV a short while ago. It showed this guy with a normal size head, then getting progressively larger as he thought about a new Volkswagen. That is the way it is. Once we get something in our head - it seldom, if ever goes away.
This is a long way around our new (for us) car. A sparkling white 1997 Cadillac. Isn't it a beaut! Trouble is our old car (a 1999 Dodge Intrepid) was still working fine. There is a huge difference, however in ride and comfort. We live at least two and a half miles to pavement. If you have an air leak you know it. Cath has trouble with allergies and dust bothers her. The dodge was a sieve, not matter what you did, it smelled like a dust storm. So that's my excuse for buying a different car - and I'm sticking to it. Another guy thing - rationalizing into making the buy as the right decisison.
Now let me see. How am I going to justify that shiney red scooter I bought. Pretty hard to use the economy things now after we bought the cadillac.
Buttered corn day in Sleepy Eye today. We are meeting Scott, Maggie and Kendal. Will be good to see them
