I worked last night so I was up to see the lunar eclipse.

One of my little ladies, Jo, was so excited. I got her out of bed  at 4:30 a.m. and took her to the courtyard in her jammies.

She ooooed and awed and thanked me over and over for letting her see it.

If you missed it, the next total lunar eclipse will be on February 21, 2008.

I better put Jo in some long johns for that one!!

The fair

We had a great time at the state fair yesterday. It was a bit warm but we walked around and saw all the cows, pigs, and chickens.

We watched the working dogs move cows into pens. These dogs are amazing. With whistles and one word commands they move the cattle into small areas.

Anything on a Stick.

You can get almost any food on a stick at the fair.

These are the ones I can remember.

Pizza on a stick.

Steak on a stick.

Porkchop on a stick.

Chicken on a stick.

Shrimp on a stick.

Fried cheese on a stick.

Chocolate nut sundae on a stick.

Fried peaches on a stick.

 Fried oreo cookies on a stick.

Fried twinkies on a stick.

Nebraska has 3 large cities. Omaha, Lincoln (the capitol), and Bellevue which is the home of Offutt Air Force Base. Otherwise, the state is made up of farming communities, corn fields, and grazing land for cattle.

 So much work goes into the state fair. The farmers and ranchers come from all over the state to show their prize winning animals, talents, produce, preserves, handmade quilts and things.

It has been a tradition Nebraska since 1868.

Happy Monday!!

I made this video for our family and friends, it's been such an amazing summer, full of great times.

Although it's kinda like watching someone elses home videos I'm going to post it anyway, just cause I can.

Hook and I are off to the Nebraska State Fair today in Lincoln. We go every year and it looks like it's going to be a beautiful day.

Have a great Sunday!!!

You Are From the Moon

You can vibe with the steady rhythms of the Moon. You're in touch with your emotions and intuition. You possess a great, unmatched imagination - and an infinite memory. Ultra-sensitive, you feel at home anywhere (or with anyone). A total healer, you light the way in the dark for many.
