No way....Can I come??????

Kasey is 'my' driver!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok besides Jimmy J but he is my #1.

His year to shine will come...

Actually Jeff Gordon is my driver but hey I will meet any of them. Last year I was not able to go because I was really sick.

Well have fun. I am hoping to get to Talladega, Indy and maybe Charlotte this year. Eventually I want to get to Daytona and then the Championship race.

I'm all for NASCAR - I've been to some of the races in Richmond... but where are my pictures of vacations?? I've got to have a visual people!

Let me start... I wish this were my view right now!

or maybe even...

or me parasailing...(this isn't me)

Lounging in the sand with one of these...

Here are some pictures from our trip to Tasmania last year:

I thought this gum tree was awesome, I took almost a million pictures of it and others like it... lol

This little wallaby wasn't happy to us, but did stay around long enough for a photo op.

Can't remember if these are from Freycinet or Friendly Beaches on the east coast, but look at all this lichen... it's everywhere:

Heading north up to Douglas Aspley and a nice three hour hike gave us this view, I was quite upset that I'd used up most of my film because to get the entire view from here would have been 7 or 8 pictures strung together. This is the only shot I got... hrmmm maybe this was still Freycinet... can't remember... I do remember the hike though!

Not to be outdone by Mr. Wallaby, an echidna popped out to say, "I'm cuter."

I hope you enjoyed your little trip through Tasmania.

....just wondering....did you have a milestone birthday this year?? ...like 40 or 45 ??

When I feel like you do the term "rest home" suddenly sounds soooo relaxing.

No milestone birthday's, but I did just have one on the 20th. You still may have a good point though - ever since I entered my thirties I've been kind of bummed out. This year I'm 32.

Thanks for all the vacation pictures. I haven't had a vacation since 2004. I could really use one. If someone could just post a picture of green grass - that would be good. We broke a 97 year old record in Iowa for amount of snow in December. We have over 2 feet on the ground currently and the temp is bitterly cold lately. It was actually around 28 this morning and I thought about putting on shorts - darn near tropical.

We have had in one month the amount of snow we normally get all season.
I felt blah in the days leading up to Christmas but Christmas day was wonderful because I had family over that had not been around for years. They brought their young kids and I found out they were interested in chickens but did not know I had some.
Now I am back to blah.
