Hmmmmmmm......

Has anyone else noticed how strange and perhaps silly the world is becoming?  How people often say things that just make you go.....HUH?   Mr. Obama recently stated that oil evaporates......Our local news anchor evedently has changed the way we are to say Benjamin to BenHa-mean.....a courthouse employee is going to put an ad "on" the paper.....a local sign company makes "magentic" signs....(magnetic?)....does anyone feel their high school English teacher cringing??????  Not to mention your journalism teacher....I for one still look for the " who, what, when, where, why and how"  when I read a story.....alot of times it isn't there!  Funny how we are spending more and more on education and the kids know less and less.  Is teaching to a test really working?  Sure the kids are doing math and other things earlier and earlier but where is penmanship, sentence structure, spelling.....If our education was so bad how can we be teaching our youth? A person can be smart as a whip but if they can't string words together to make an intelligent sentence what good are they going to accomplish in the job market?  How will they apply for one?  Ahhhhh yes, I forgot! The computer! The do all, say all, fix all, know all of our society....yep I'm typing on one now.  That's not to say I condem them...they are great when they work but when they don't?  Ever been shopping when a stores computer was down or there was a power failure?  Know very many people who can make change in that situation?
Ahhh the good old days!  Spelling tests, writing all those continuous circles, all those term papers with proper sentence structure.....

We had our family vacation again...we almost didn't but now I intend to bore you with some photo's! My granddaughter Morgan surprised us all and was a great rider (in my Excursion) and liked the Frio! Her Dad is letting her dip her feet.

It's very seldom that you come across anyone famous when you vacation.  They usually don't frequent places that us common folks do....but it was a nice surprise to meet country singer Kevin Fowler's Mom and Dad on the bank of the Frio River.  Such nice people...I've met the son so now I see where he gets it... Ryan and Mr. Fowler had a nice chat and got some good advice concerning his singing career.  The Fowlers had spent time at Kevin's ranch and were on their way to Corpus to drop off their grandson (?)  I didn't quite catch the relationship....

Early morning coffee drinking caught these workers singing atop a home they were building up the hillside.  The zoom makes them look close but as you can see in the next one....they weren't.Caleb and  Alex were the water assasins!

Morgan  looks ready for the rapids!!! She wasn't really all that impressed to be in her floaty...she couldn't see or reach for the rocks in there.

This is a shot of the steps that my kids made a hundred trips up and down when they were younger and we stayed in our motorhome at the now closed Bee's Camp. I didn't get the chance to ask but I think the park is being turned into a subdivision.  The deer below were in the backyard of the home we rented!

And my final photo.....do you remember S'mores?

Hmmmmmm

I really should blog more.....since I always have to hunt for my sign in information....or do I just have too many passwords and user names to remember??
