And now for something completely different...

I thought I would use video for an entry to my blog... How's that!... that means you have to turn on your sound!

I need a new drug! Quick!

What You Ought To Know

One of my nephews told me about this neat web page that is run by a guy he went to school with (and is LDS too!) called whatyououghttoknow.com.

 

It's a quirky site that takes every day things that we all should know and adds a humorous twist to learning about something we all should know.

 

Take for example the following video...

 

I bet you didn't know that you can take a AA battery, a very powerful magnet and a piece of 12 to 20 guage wire and make the wire spin did ya!

WELL NOW YOU KNOW!

 

Here's our version...

Go on! You know you want to try too!... Just remember, they pinch! OUCH!

New Year and Birthdays

The one thing I can always count on is that after Christmas and New Years is over, birthdays begin... like mine!

 

The family decided we would go sledding up at the Sierras for my birthday. We ended up on the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe at the junction of Highways 50 and 28 (called Spooner Junction). There is a place to park near there where the hill come down to a nice slope for sledding. There's also Spooner Lake I'll need to check out for fishing this year.

 

Anyway, Maggie and Kraig and I did all the sledding while Sandy, Cathi and Katie watched.

 

Here are pictures of our trip to the snow...

We had fun in the snow. We look forward to getting more snow this winter.

T’was two days after Christmas

T’was two days after Christmas, and all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even the kids! The stockings still hung on the chimney with care that Santa had filled just two days before. The kids are now restless, they know for sure, that the holidays will end and school will begin.

I in my boots and jacket to keep warm, see that the storm left the yard to be cleared of leaves that had blown from the trees the night before.

Mom is resting with her feet in the air, is glad that the wrapping and ribbons are no longer near. When all of a sudden, there rose a sound, there go the kids arguing over the Wii! Well that don’t beat all, the leaves will wait as I referee!

This year is all but complete, it’s luster and shine all but worn down. A New Year’s in sight, all fancy and bright, where new goals are in sight like deer stunned in the light!

May this New Year be better than the last, maybe Santa will remember that bribes do count!
