Swiss Family Robinson

We are sitting here for family movie night watching Swiss Family Robinson. I LOVE this movie. What is it about it that you like? Hmm, that is an interesting question. This movie was released in 1960, way before I was even born. I think it might be the tree house. I always wanted one. A place that was just mine, up in the trees where no one could bother me. Anyway, it will be interesting to see how the remake scheduled for 2012 will be. Why mess with a good thing?

2nd Annual BTOC Camping Trip

Location: Mosquitoville (AKA Camano Island State Park)

As the sun sets on our time camping at Camano Island, let us reflect on the fun that we had.

Digging for crabs on the beach with no sunscreen becasue we took our shirt off.

Throwing Rocks at the water.

Roasting marshmallows by the campfire...we cant' wait to do it again next year.

Flight for Sight

Our Family walked in the 1 Mile Fun Walk to benifit Guide Dogs of America

My favorite sign right now

every since we got back from vacation the kids have been particularly annoying. Here is my favorite sign to say how I feel right now.

This is killing me!!!

So, I got a new computer and it has taken a while for it to get up and running. Needless to say, it does not have all my programs on it....most notably what is missing is my photoshop elements. I am going crazy wanting to scrapbook and I can't. Hence all the other crafts lately. The problem....um.....we lost the disk for Photoshop...so, I am hoping to get another one...this time CS4. I am probably jumping way ahead of what my skills in both photography and editing can currently do with this purchase, but we can get a good deal on it from a friend....so, I am hoping to jump in with both feet when we finally get around to purchasing it.

Picture for my front foyer

Yes, the renovation is still going on. WE have finished with the downstairs bathroom, with the exception of two custom signs from Country Workshop that are still on order. Once they are here and hung, I will get pictures up.

My current problem is what picture to hang in my entry foyer. I have narrowed it down to the following three by Jude McConkey. I don't know why they caught my eye, I don't live anywhere near these places, but I guess because I have an uncle that lives in the UP of Michigan they touch a cord with me.

So, help. I need your opinions on which one is best??? My walls are painted Adobe Beige and I have Victorian type sconces that the picture needs to fit between.

I would probably have this last one turned vinitage like the one above it.
