Ok, so this is a little new…

When you visit this blog you’ll see different pictures across the top of the pages. I’ll have you know that I took each and every one of them.

Right now the theme is death valley…all of these pictures were taken at death valley.

…and because I just can’t not do it… I would like to quote once again, Colonel Potter on MASH.

“Here’s to the New Year. May she be a damned sight better that the old one, and may we all be home before she’s over.”

We’ve been putting that quote on our blog for many years now and it holds a special meaning this year, 2011, with the passing of Harry Morgan on 7 Dec… just 3 1/2 weeks ago.

“Never get out of the boat.”  Absolutely goddamn right… unless you were goin’ all the way.

Hello everyone and HAPPY NEW YEAR!

My traditional New Year photo is below and for the first time ever, you’ll notice our family is getting smaller, not bigger! Heather is still up in Fargo and so this year it’s just the 4 of us.

Heather called at 10pm (our time) and was screaming and wishing us all a Happy New Year and it took me like a second or 3 to remember that SHE’S 2 HOURS AHEAD OF US!

As we slip into the new year I’d like to remind everyone NOT to drag anything into 2012, that drug you down in 2011.

Thanks for all the love and support our family has received this year, we’re looking forward to a great (a very different!) year.  May your new year be outstanding!

Well, went camping over Thanksgiving again this year and had a great time. Brought the new puppy, there is a picture below.

I am posting this with my new phone and the picture was taken on my new phone also.

I think this looks pretty good for a phone picture, I will post better pictures later. oh, i think her name is penny.
