Can you find the eggs? Well hidden in the rocks surrounding our pond

Soeckli reading my magazine!

Can you find Soeckli?

Billboard on my way to the hospital. Makes you want to be on oxygen. Wonder what is really in this oxygen bottle to make this guy look so silly!!!

Isn't it just fun having a tube stuck up in your nose and blow soap bubbles. Are you sure that he is inhaling oxygen???

Victims of a drive over!!!



Started physical therapy and love it! I have to go 3 times a week and it is just haven. They wrap me into heating pads for 20 minute all cozy and warm to loosen up my muscles and then a nice massage. And the health insurance pays for this!!! Nice! Then some stretching exercises and then I am done. Easy, and I do feel better already. I am just so dang knotted up that my muscles actually stand up! Crazy. Then I also got a call from the doctors office that I have actually carpal tunnel syndrome on both wrists and they want both wrists in a splint for 3 weeks. Well now I look rather funny and of course this way I can't do much housework (how sad)and typing is a b...h so you won't get that many postings in the next couple of weeks.

About a week ago David got a mailer that Sears would have a special on hearing aids to the tune of $1500 off. I try to talk him into getting new ones for months because he hates the old ones and barely ever wears them which makes me shout all day long and he doesn't hear anything or anyone. So we decided to go and just have them give us a price because our insurance doesn't cover hearing aids and then we would make a decision. We went there and on the way out of the house I grabbed the old ones just in case the guy at Sears would want to see them.
We listened to his sale pitch after he gave David a hearing test, then told him we would sleep on it. I wanted to show the guy the old hearing aids but couldn't find them in my purse which is not that unusual if you ever saw the content of it. I assumed that I left them in the car and was not to concerned.
Then we went out to the car and I rummaged again in my purse, dumping everything on the seat, nothing. Also nowhere in the car. Well I must have left them on the kitchen table on my way out. So we went to the farmers market just across the parking lot. All the time I had that distinguished feeling that I DID grab those dang hearing aids. I just couldn't shake that feeling. I asked David to drive back to the spot were we were parked and...thanks God they were laying there in their little pouch on the asphalt right in the spot were we had parked just 5 minutes ago. Phew..., they had cost us 6 grand about 10 years ago. I was sooooooooooo relived.
David started driving and mentioned casually to check them out and,.. see above pictures what came tumbling out of that dam little pouch...,a handful of little crumbs and electronics. But man I just started laughing it was just so hilarious how pathetic they looked. And I didn't had to talk David into getting a new pair unless he would have wanted to try to crazy glue this mess. I was just to frigging funny. I couldn't stop laughing for the next 10 minutes. What a coincidence, here we go and check out about hearing aids and the next minute we run over the ones he had. He keeps on teasing me though that I secretly threw them under our truck just to get him to get new ones!!!
