Bananafishbones
As if suddenly hit by lightning... er, not that this isn't a regular occurrence...
let me start again...
Oh what the hell... as if struck by lightning, someone has gotten all productive in the food and beverage department over the past 24 hours:
Bread, cookies, bran muffins:
Raspberry jam (don't worry Mom, this is just a stop gap measure to make use of all those u-picked berries) [Recipe here]:
Lemon gelato / waffle cookie! [Recipes here and here]
BBQ sauce [Recipe here]:
And here's the probable culprit for all this :: zee new espresso maker!
Mmmmmm... makes me hippa hippa hippa hippa
And then there was slime! (funny how this is the only item where little helpers appear):
The obligatory slime-in-hair... totally my fault for encouraging slime-head interaction by "sneezing out" a green slime booger. But really, who could resist a green slime booger?!?

As the holidays wane
Goose, the game of Loot and The Hand Of God...
Gillian, her air horn and the massive wild rose bush...
Gillian, her air horn and the new, ugly, rotten-wood "fence"...
Kristal, horseshoes and cheerleaders (Canadian)...
Goose, running and hot-weather attire...
A man, a boat and pool domination...

Happy American Day
Here's wishing all our friends/ children of the revolution a wonderful fourth of July! We hope to see some fireworks light up the sky from across the pond tonight.
Today, Eff and I went to check out the marina's ice cream selections and we both agreed that popsicles may have been more appropriate for the heat (its not that hot, we just like to complain). I am happy to report, however, that the marina's transformation from hickville-grunge marina to upscale resort is now complete... we saw sunbathing, non-male, breasts!
Erosion trail:
Four foot vertical!
Hours and hours of mowing/ scything the hay/moss/weed field recently has yielded a decent little soccer pitch for our enjoyment (two and a half minutes worth of enjoyment in this particular case):
Yes, he's only one hair band removed from Sergio Ramos...
When news broke that the convalescent was happy to finally have someone serenading her with fir cones rattling the bedroom window, Rachel suggested I kick it up a notch by going all Lloyd Dobler on her...
The lack of speakers seems to have reduced greatly the desired effect.
