Ironman

My kids are SUCH hams. ;)

I took a few of them shopping at WalMart. Of course, we have to go through the toy section. And of course, they have to fool with the toys. :| My son is very good in front of the camera. He just seems to be a natural. He just turned 15, can you believe it?! I can’t believe it. We had a nice, but quiet birthday party for him. He didn’t get the Ironman mask (that’s for *little* kids), but he got a ton of Legos that set my credit card back a few months. :-p Good heavens, why are Legos so expensive?! Oh well, I suppose (hope) it’s a passing fad.

I’ve dropped a few hints as to what I want for my birthday, coming up soon. ;) How about a Sharis Berries birthday gifts delivery? Hee hee. I’ve never had one, but I would JUST love to try it. They looks so scrumptious, and everyone who has had them rave about them. Yum.

Montezuma Doors

Photo was taken at the Montezuma Winery near Seneca Falls, NY. I wrote about our visit to the winery at NewYorkTraveler.net. The place is loaded with stuff, all relating to Montezuma or the Adirondacks. Adirondacks stuff is very “hot” right now. I’ve seen Adirondacks candies, mugs, natural skin care soaps, etc etc. I guess there’s a big, fat market for it.

Soon spring will be springing. Right now, it’s another cool and cloudy day. I don’t mind the prolonged wait– I actually prefer a *real* spring, where temperatures and weather gradually warms, than instant 80 degree weather.

I have a lot of outside work to do soon…. *sigh* All in good time.

Iron Bar

Wonder how this happened.

Was it a bored acne-laden kid, trying to make trouble, or trying to show how “cool” he was in front of the other guys? Was it a rope tied to a car hitch, to prevent the car from rolling down the steep pitch of the hill here? Was it a heavy seagull?

Your guess is as good as mine. I’m betting on the heavy bird, though. ;)
