Too Funny Not to Post

I just called Jeremy, who is on duty til 11:00. He seriously answers his cell phone with: "District 4, Officer Robison speaking..." I thought I was going to lose it!

Someone Else Is 30! (and all the 30-year-olds say "Woohoo!")

My dear friend Libby finally caught up with me and turned 30 (just to make me feel better - wasn't that nice?!). We had oodles of fun at her very-spiffy party, thrown by her family at the Brugger's house. This is Libby with her sweet Aunt Jo.

Libby and her favorite Marine, Matt :-)
Kindred spirits, roasting marshmallows over an open fire.....
My gift to Libby was an old, black-n-white detective series that is our tradition to watch when I go up and visit her. I thought it was time she have a set of her very own.
OK - let me explain..... I have a thing about not liking my marshmallows burnt. I was really concentrating on getting the perfect marshmallow when the above marshmallow picture was taken. Guess what happened when I posed for that picture? You guessed it - my prized, golden marshmallows went up in flames. And I had tried so hard (sniff, sniff....). It was too funny to resist howling about! So we ended up looking like fools and laughing our heads off!
Who would have thought celebrating a 30th birthday could be so fun?

A Picnic Almost Gone Bad

Once upon a time, a silly boy named Jeremy got his toy stuck up in the tree. He had thrown it over his shoulder (trying to impress his girl), and now he was very sad. (Can you find the hidden toy?)


Fortunately, Jeremy had a good friend named Steve, who decided to be a good citizen and climb the mean tree (who had captured the toy) so his friend would be happy again. Steve's girl watched anxiously as her sweetheart fetched the dangling toy.


Much to the relief of all Steve's friends, he safely made it up the tree and back down again.


Jeremy gave his good friend a high-five for his chivalrous bravery.


Jeremy was once again a happy boy, now that he had his toy back, along with the still-admiring devotion of his girl.
