shuttle endeavor takes off...

gary called me on to the porch yesterday
to watch the shuttle endeavor blast off.
15,000 miles per hour? are you kidding me!?
wow! it's been a long time since i've
been able to catch a lift off on t.v.
the lingo is...dare i say, hot!
gary and i were looking at each other like,
"what?" kinda like on "so you think you
can dance" when they are describing dance
moves...totally lost, no idea what they
are talking about! but...equally entertaining!
i digress, sorry!

um, national night out 2007 is in the books!
perfect night...warm, clear, dry.
so dry, in fact, that the fire engines were not
allowed to hook up to the hydrants and blast
their hoses this year (a crowd favorite!).
so gary and i did the next best thing and
turned our hose on and let the kis douse them-
selves! that way our lawn got an extra
watering that day! :)

oh, i'll mention that our fine mayor, Phil Young,
was along on the fire truck and he remembered
me...i asked him at the beginning of his
campaign if he would like me to follow him
and document is run and photograph his family
(all gratis by the way) and he just blew me
off! well, he's in office so we figure he did
okay without me. i just wanted to do it, that's
all. men. his loss.

here's some shots from tuesday night's event...







one last photo...
this is "hobie", he's 11. i think he used to
be a chiropractor in his first life...
