Road Trip

December 6, 2011 By Jodi

Sunday during our morning walk, I was snapping away with the camera, when Hubby said “Look, the Arch.”

Sure enough, when I looked up some trees had bent together forming an arch.

While not the St. Louis archway to the west, it could certainly be the arch to adventure.

I started to think back to the other photos I had taken, and thought maybe I could associate different sights in our little neck of the woods with other American landmarks.

So without further ado and in no particular order here our the landmarks we saw on our walk.

While not Pike’s Peak….

It is still a small mountain and worth climbing.

While not the Golden Gate Bridge…

I can certainly imagine something using this as a bridge when the wash is full.

While not the Grand Canyon…….

We can look down and imagine mules carrying tourists down to the bottom.

While not the Oregon Trail…..

It certainly looks like some type of fur trading is taking place here.

While not the mighty Mississippi or Niagara Falls…..

This little stream made a lovely little tinkling noise.

What types of landmarks have you found around you?

And before I let you go, a quick update on the one year anniversary drawing.

The anniversary contest ended Sunday evening, and at that time I had 17 comments.

I went to Random.org and put in 1 – 17 and was given the number 7.  I counted down to the 7th comment and our winner is…..SASSYKASSY!!

Sassy, send me an e-mail and let me know if you want treats or toys for your babies, as well as your mailing address.

Dearest Blog

December 4, 2011 By Jodi

I mentioned last night that the blog received the Liebster Award, from our friend Bassas over at Bassas Blog.

Apparently Liebster is German for dearest.  The Liebster is to recognize and gain exposure for lesser known blogs.  (Less than 200 followers.).

The rules for the Liebster Award are:

1. Thank the giver and link back to the blogger who gave it to you.

I really want to thank Bassas for this award, the write-up describing my blog was one of the sweetest things ever said about this blog and I’m so honored and humbled by this award.

2. Reveal your top five picks {with less than 200 readers} and let them know by leaving a comment on their blog.

I’ve thought about this for the better part of 24 hours, while I love all of your blogs, I am only allowed to present it to five, so in no particular order here are my five picks

2 Brown Dawgs

Shoes On The Wrong Feet

Misty Shores

Donna and the Dogs

Gone For A Walk

3. Copy and paste the award on your blog.

 

Check, it’s in my side-bar. 🙂

4. Hope that the people you’ve sent the award to forward it to their five favourite up-and-coming bloggers and keep it going!

Thanks again to Bassas and congratulations to the new Liebster awardees, I look forward to reading about your picks. 😉

I Can't Stop

December 3, 2011 By Jodi

I tried to take the night off, I really did.  I told myself I deserved a break.  But my fingers betrayed me, they were itching to be at the key board and I’m just so damn addicted to blogging, I can’t stop myself.  It looks like you’re stuck with me.  🙂

I got about 6:30 am with the dogs and after the nirvana of coffee and a few quick reads through some blogs, I headed out the door by 8:15 am.  I won’t bore you with details, I will just say I finally sat down about 7:30 pm and YES I managed to get almost an hours walk in with Sampson and Delilah.

Why does it seem the busier I am, the more I have to do?

Why can’t I be more like this….?

Tomorrow I have plans to take the dogs on an as yet unexplored trail and then in the afternoon I am volunteering at Our Companions Holiday Wreath sale.

You may have noticed we have a new award on the side-bar.  That is from our dear friend Bassas over at Bassasblog.  If all goes as planned tomorrow night, my post will be about the new award and the responsibilities that go with it.

In the meantime, go check Bassas out, I think you will enjoy meeting Bassas and learning about her little corner of the world.
