A lowly purple flower in the side of the mountain of dead leavesI'm a poet and didn't know it ;)
This doesn't look steep, but let me tell ya... wooo eee
Cam and Schnoozeberry
Where we took a wine and cheese and cracker picnic by the babbling brook (to the right). It was actually really cold and I wish I had worn gloves and a hat. Then it started raining :(.
THE babbling brook. We will go again in the summer, b/c then we could play in the brook.
Me. That jacket is a $200 jacket Cam found for me at the REI garage sale for $30. So REI has this amazing return policy no questions asked, no matter how long you have had the prodcut. what they do with all those returns is 4 times a year they have a garage sale and mark things down extremely low. this jacket's zipper hsd been getting a little hard to go up and so the chick returned it (and probably got herself a new one) and I saved $170 on a #1 rated jacket. It's waterproof and windproof! Sometimes at the sale there are things people merely tried on and bought then decided they didn't want anymore. Cam got a brand new pair of hiking boots for $15 that are normally $150. We got snowshoes for $80 that are normally $160 that had been worn once. The only catch, you have to be a member (a one time $15 fee). You also get dividends back at the end of the year... 1% of everything you've bought. That's cool too! We love REI!

We love REI!Anyway, back to the babbling brook. We decided to go on a whim, and left saturday afternoon, drove 20 minutes, saw a buffalo, hiked on this trail (which blind people can go on... they have signs in braille and a cable that leads them down), had a picnic, came home, showered, and ate dinner at OLIVE GARDEN. man i love that dang place. and i love italian margaritas!!!!
I forgot to say we have been searching for a recycle cener forevers, and we finally found a can bank... we had 2 1/2 trash bags full of cans, and made $1.75!!!!!
We also cleaned out the closet, and had 15 walmart bags plus a trash bag (i ran out of trash bags) and 2 pairs of shoes and some coats!!! we donated it in one of those clothing donation boxes by the grocery store. (they have those in norman in case you okies need one). it felt good to purge!
Also a bummer of a deal: May 15th I have to start wearing stupid carribean blue scrubs that the crotch go down to my knees at work. Boo.
Also, my pt's family member bought me a snickers... that was really sweet!

you are so rugged and outdoorsy. cam i.e. slamcake has made you uber-cool. and vice-versa.
Sounds & looks like there is tons of good in you guy's life! Glad u discovered a group of folks that understand believing in God and Christ, being crazy and having fun are all totally compatable. Enjoying life is a gift from God. Learning how to have a good time alone and with others without doing harm to others is what I think Jesus is all about.
Here's to the good life; clink, Gulp...gulp.
love ya both
