Random Indoor Activities

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RACHEL!!!!  CAN'T WAIT TO HAVE OUR PARTY!!!


NINE YEARS!  That's a lot of candles!


Bella loves to party



More cupcakes from Karen's daughter.  Karen, give me the word and we'll pull Jenny out of college and start a bakery.  Warning: I'll eat all the profits...


Crazy weather.  It's either nice and warm like this down at Canandaigua Lake or...



Nasty like this thunder, rain, and hail the other day.  It seems like we've had about 2-3 weeks of straight rain.  

Nothing else too much to report.  Kind of been cooped up in the house with the weather and all.  

Spring-ish

Elmer would like to welcome you to Spring-ish and the Lollypop Farm walk

A few of the horses





Don't play coy Emu...


Sleepy pig


Piggy pig


This is how I thought all of Upstate New York looked before I moved here.


Goose


Someday this llama will come closer


GOATS!!!


And now all the Daffodils are out.

Enough blogging for now.  It's going to be nice for only a few more minutes.  So, I'm going outside to enjoy it...

Daaaf-O-Dillll...

ANGRY CAT!  


Speaking of messes, this is not clutter; it's art.


70 degrees and sunny!  Break out the shorts and sandals, honey.  We're a goin' walkin'!  Here's East Chestnut Street in East Rochester.


A sure sign of spring were all the softball and baseball games taking place as East Rochester School.



The entrance to Edmund Lyon Park


More baseball, this time at Lyon Park.  




There's a pretty interesting neighborhood and the southeastern portion of the village.  It seems the developer was trying to create a modern elf village, which these houses don't appropriately show...  Sorry...


Our first flower at the new house.  Not bad little Daffodil.  When I came home today there were a whole row of these guys ready to pop.  I wonder what else will pop up in our yard?

That's all from Rochester.  

APRIL FOOLS!

Seriously, this is the worst April Fools joke ever...


What a weird day for weather.  Half the day sunny and beautiful.  The other half was a blizzard.  In between was whatever this is.


It's a good thing Karen didn't see this guy.  Look at his sad little face.  He wants to eat my sandwich so bad.  


"Do de do de do...  Wonder what they are going to do in here next?" About 20 minutes later...


"GOODBYE WALL!"  Who knew making a waiting room for admissions would look so destructively fun?  You never know what will be built or demolished when you walk around Lollypop Farm these days.  Kinda fun


Prince Fielder looks really cozy wearing his snowmobile suit under his uniform during Opening Day up in Minneapolis.  It could be a good year for them.  Just another 161 games to go to see how it ends up.

Went to Sinbad's Restaurant (http://mysinbads.com/) over on Park Ave. this weekend.  Pretty good food.  Probably the quickest food service we've ever received (including fast food places).  It was as if they knew we were coming and what we were going to order.  No pics though, sorry.  No pics of the other fun activities with our friends either.  What a slacker/not allowed.  You poor blog readers have been ripped off...
Hope everyone had a good Easter.

It's Snow Problem

SNOWSTORM NEMO!  This was on my very, very slow commute home.  I think I counted 4 separate car accidents (including a semi vs ambulance).


Lots of pretty trees...






Ugh...  Shoveling...




First shovel break:  Let me take a second to snap a pic of the house


Second shovel break: Another shot.  Man, how much snow is there.  I am literally only cleaning out a one foot clearing around my subcompact...


In the pine, in the pines...


Megan and I didn't realize this when we bought the house, but we are in the township of Narnia.

Speaking of which, I just finished the epic Harry Potter collection.  I have to say that it was better than I expected.  But, I didn't realize how much I didn't really understand from the movies.  I guess you have to leave some stuff out when you write 1,000 page tomes.  

Thanks to Pete and Simon for fulfilling my need of hanging out playing video games and eating junk food.  It is truly the only way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

That Snape Is Such A Jerk!

SNAPE KILLED DUMBLEDORE!  Why did he ever trust him?!?!  Just more evidence that I remain 12 years old (and my wife encourages it)...


So, Megan is out of town and I'm left to my own devices.  I didn't intend to buy this for dinner, but when I saw that Hamburger Helper had Beef Stroganoff and ULTIMATE Beef Stroganoff, the decision made itself.  What makes it "ultimate;" not sure...


Another "perk" of Megan being out town is watching terrible movies like Omega Man starring Charlton Heston.   Classic zombie flick.


And speaking of my blushing bride, here she is!  Who knew when I made these for our wedding that it was going to be a decoration for the house?


And, Megan's idiot husband...


So dreary.  I think this is as bright as it got all day today.  At least it wasn't a foot of snow or another ice storm.  

That's about it.  I've been pretty boring lately being sick and all.  Waiting to hear if Megan's flights will even make it in tonight.  Blah, blah, blah, etc...

A Man Could Get Use To This

Hope everyone had a great x-mas.  Megan outside of our house.  We got a bit of snow today...


A nice giant stocking on the front door.  Another great Tops purchase!


Megan making some x-mas dinner stuff in her Harry Potter apron.  Such a muggle...


Oh little Christmas tree.  Some day you will be big and strong!
 

WHAT!!! REINDEER TRACKS WALKING UP OUR SIDEWALK TO OUR FRONT DOOR ON CHRISTMAS!!!


A little hike through Linear Park to check out the snow around Irondequoit Creek


Got about 10+ inches of snow last night.  As I slept in late I got the best x-mas gift of all.  The gift of someone else cleaning out my driveway.  I have no idea who it is, but I'm super grateful






Exactly what the little Nissan needed...


Someone else's little yellow house with lots of snow on our way to the library this morning.  Season 3 of Arrested Development for a snowy day

MORE ART!

Mexico.  Sounds nice these days.






One I did of Megan around 2006.  

That's it for now.
