Hello, this is Oscar,

You probably don’t know me

But I lived at the end of a string,

In the bedroom of he,

And that he is Benji,

That’s his name,

And it always will be.

And because I live in his room,

I hear all his thoughts,

And I in a gloom,

His passwords I caught.

I on a venture today,

Climbed out of this water-hole

For want of a holiday.

But I’m getting ahead of myself,

I should start when I was on a shelf.

It all started out,

In an envelope,

I was pulled out,

And strung like a rope.

Like this one now is, curved with much tension,

I held the string on, and it maintained radiant hum.

But then, one day,

As it was humming along,

It broke with wild array,

And off came the string,with me along.

Until, one time,

I was freed from the string,

And freedom is mine,

I who’s like a ring.

I was washed off gently,

And very graciously,

Until I was stuck on a pole,

In this water-hole.

They call it a mouth,

But I’m not so sure,

It’s not in the south,

But in the north, I’m sure.

But whatever that means,

And although I’m never seen…

I’m attaching some pictures,

Just for you to assure.

So bye for now,

Bye for now,

But I’ll see you one day,

I hope somehow.

Okay, first off, just wanted to share that Daniel and I just played a bunch of games and I won them all!!!!!
Back to the pics!!

Here is a little ‘penny stove’ Dad and Daniel built for camping trips…yes that was cold water and it boiled it totally…

This is a picture of the hole we think the armadillo lives in, except it’s not too clear…

I set up a connection between the camera and TV and here’s Dad watching it…

Here’s a bunch of funny pics of Kevin and Daniel using the TV…

Uhh…nice tongue…

And the rest are of me attacking him - I used the 10-second timer, of course…

Well, that’s all for now…Have a Great Weekend!!

Aagh!! I’m being attacked by Oscar!! Gotta go!!

On the ninth, Amy Jones and I went biking taking pictures because Brian wasn’t at our house yet…

We first went up the street aways and Amy saw this fire hydrant and I took this one…

Here’s some interesting plant…

Here’s a sprinkled American flag…

She found a locust shell and repositioned it…

and I took a macro shot of it…

Then we looked across the street and saw a hummingbird feeder with hummingbirds swarming!!

Then I looked over and saw this wasp…

another similiar plant…

Then we went to the bridge and I showed her the 4-wheeler tracks…we walked up them together aways, and just around the corner was this HUMONGOUS root-ball of a tree!! - Here she is climbing it (or at least trying!!)…

Hanging on for dear life…

and watching the dirt after a rough fall…

She made it to the top the other way though…

Here she’s sliding down…

and here’s some more falling dirt…

Then we went the other way and found this interesting sprinkler…

and its mudflow…

Then we climbed down a mountain and crossed a creek twice and climbed up the other side just to get these pics…

Then we finally made it home for lunch…

then after lunch we went again…this is at the Lowe’s house (across the street)…

And then we ventured over to an old friend’s house, and found beautiful flowers…

Then I showed Amy ‘Jones St.’, and she immediately climbed up the sign!!

all that fun, but the Brian arrived…

Lori was with Amy, and she and Kevin played some ping-pong:

A couple days later, Philip was over…

and Kevin was showing him how to do the human flag (man, he’s strong)…

Then Ollie (Oliver) arrived…

and started playing with the toy trucks, but one of them had ANTS!!

This is this last weekend…Katie’s looking at the Magic Eye book…

YESS!!! - I’m almost caught up, all that’s left is the wedding shower and animal elections.

Have a great weekend!!
