Medieval Torture device

Side 1

Pruned

Side 2

not pruned

because those suckers hurt!!

( i have started pruning side 2

but due to the combination

of thorns as big as my thumbnail

and bad coordination

i will not be doing the rest by myself

in case being unsupervised causes

additional accidents resulting in

seeking medical assistance

Plus--there is a really big

window well and if I fell in I know I

couldnt get my huge hinny out of it)

flowers after the storm

Every afternoon for about the

last 3 weeks we have gotten rain.

I think I would like to be a flower,

until it gets hot again.

Then I would like to be

a bee.

we interrupt this vacation..

to bring you work.

Ken is very excited about his new to him mower.

I think the lawn will probably get mowed today

whether it needs it or not!

Sophie summer vacation #6

Sophie apologizes for not emailing us

with updates.

She has been shopping and

is thinking about getting

this poster for her room.

She has been laying in the sun

many hours a day.

Being lazy and eating treats.

She hopes Annie is doing ok.

But she is glad that she

got to go on vacation

and take a break from

keeping Annie warm at night.

She is planning on

going swimming soon,

but is a little afraid of sharks

so if she does go

she will send us pictures.

Sophie summer vacation #5

Today was another beautiful day.

I went on a 'jungle trek' that was very

easy..and included a photo shoot.

I hope you enjoy these

flattering, colorful shots of moi.

After the photo shoot and jungle trek

we got to go to a local golf course and

have free time.

I chose to run around in circles until

I got tired and needed a break...it took

about 3 minutes.

goodbye until tomorrow

Sophie summer vacation #4

Whoo-hooo

party like it's 1999!!

Dear Annie,

I did not drink (too)much.

I did not meet a cute pug from Australia.

I did not stay out until 3 am....

I did not dance all night long, or lose my

collar, or wake up on the beach..

with someone else's handkerchief

around my neck.

I am sleeping in..after

I take a headache pill.

love, Sophie

Sophie summer vacation #3

This is the life!

I am reading a great princess book

and having my nails done

at the same time!!

The hands belong to my

cabana boy who fetches

cold drinks for me and also

acts as my personal book holder.

He is a little slow turning the pages

but I have hopes that he will get faster.

I spent today on the beach and although I

was worried about getting sunburned

and ruining my complexion I enjoyed

my time there.

Tonight I am hitting a disco

so will have pictures for you tomorrow of

that adventure.

Sophie's summer vacation #2

Sophie has arrived!

this is what she had to say...

"ALOHA!! boy was that flight long!

I am here but as you can see I am very tired.

I was so glad I took my security rock withe me.

I sat next to a nice lady who opened my meal for

me which was very helpful since I don't have

opposable thumbs.

Tomorrow I am headed for the beach and

I am looking forward to hanging out

and reading.

Tell Annie I hope she is doing well

and I can't wait to hear the story

about the snake!"

leaving colorado

Sophie is in the air right now

flying to her summer vacation destination.

She hopes Annie is doing ok.

Check back later today to see

how Sophies flight went.

She promises to email me when she arrives

at her hotel.

Sophie's summer vacation #1

Annie left last night for a

2 week vacation at

Tami's house in Holly.

Before she left she gave me

very specific instructions about how

to treat Sophie while she was gone.

But Sophie had other ideas.

Sophie decided to go on a little vacation on her own

and wanted me to take pictures to show Annie that she was ok.

This morning Sophie surfed the web to find her perfect vacation spot.

She decided on something tropical and secluded.

She booked the flight and hotel after finding the perfect location.

She is excited to leave tomorrow for her

big summer vacation!!

check back then for more

You should go here,

play around!

I didn't have any good ones

with a lot of buildings,

but here is one I took in Disney World.

The website lets you manipulate

the pic and make it look

like you took a picture of a mini model of the scene.

My original is below for comparisions.

Kind of cool

This is what happened...

If you check on the comments, then you'll see that there are 2 votes for Sophie and 1 vote for Georgette, but some people are slacking and aren't putting their comments on the comment page. Instead, they told me.
