All in a day

Look what two weeks of rain,30 or so loads of rocks, a few perennials, and a lot of hard work can give you!

Pup #2 in 2008

There seem to be some technical difficulties at the Parish home, so I (Nikkala) have been asked to share the new puppy with the world.

Warren's following may not realize that puppy #1 (Sotouka, Touka--I'm still not sure what her name was) was killed in cold blooded murder just about the time she was growing out of the puppy stage and turning into a "real person". Dad has had a really hard time with her loss and is barely (months later) able to talk about it.

So pup #2 has arrived and has big shoes to fill as she tries to live up to the previous puppy, and most importantly, our beloved Sam.

Dad says she is black. Mom says she is mocha, and I think she is a dark brown from the pictures.

There is a contest being held to name her. Rumor has it that the winner will receive $50, so put on your thinking caps.
Dad thinks she will be called Obama because she was born in 2008 and she is almost black like him (dad's words, not mine).

Please realize that the name judging is completely biased, so even if better names are submitted, Obama may be chosen just to save $50.

Leave a comment with your choice of name for this adorable little gal.

when the cats away the snow men play

We woke this past Saturday to a little rain then snow, so by the time we got chores done and got ready. Troy and Sharon K stopped by for a visit. We left about 11:00 and had terrible roads, The highway district thought it would be a skiff and then melt, but it just kept coming down. By the time we got to Declo the road had just three tire tracks and when a car came you had to almost stop and get clear over. When we hit sweetzer the trucks could not get up the grade and started to spin out and then blocked the two lanes, we sat for on hour and half and things moved a little then stopped again , so I got in the left side and drove around all the trucks and wreckers and made it over the top. About blue hill we were out of snow, and nothing in Logan. Had a fun time with the kids and went swimming with the boys. Here are some pictures of the weekend.

chicken nuggets

Have you ever wondered where chicken nuggets come from/ I have a theory, When I went and picked up some chicks for karisa , They gave us a whole bunch of pullets. What do they do with the rooster chicks? Aren't they just so cute.
