This past weekend with the family

Camping over Memorial Day weekend

Life is flying by

and what do I have to show for it. hum . . . Nothing! A big fat nothing!

No, but wait! That's not all! You get a big, fat nothing some more.

I've got pics to show, but not with me today. Been camping twice in the last month. Now it's too hot to go camping since we're having 100 degree weather (odd for June). We been going swimming instead.

I am going to Mom's this weekend. Been getting the guilt trip from my sister to go. So I go.

I've been seeing famous people everywhere lately. Saw the TAPS van from that show on SciFi called "Ghost Hunters", saw the guy from that show in a restaurant, saw Molly Ringwald in the same restaurant. Yep seeing famous people all over.

I hope to get some more up here soon, but it doesn't really matter. The only people that are coming here are looking for Chitty Chitty Bang Bang stuff. Write one reference to that and it's history for ya.

I do not know why this makes me laugh

This is so cheesy, but I love it.

I am a proud Moma !

Passing of another friend

MICHAEL "MIKE" HOLLIGER BADGER, 43, passed away March 4, 2009, at Sugar Land Methodist Hospital. A devoted music fan, enthusiastic traveler and friend to everyone he met, Mike was born July 16, 1965, in Houston to Robyn Lucas Badger and Corine Thomas Badger. His early childhood memories were of Corpus Christi, where the family moved in 1969. In 1973, the family returned to Houston where Mike began to acquire a group of life-long friends. He graduated from Cypress Creek High School in 1983, and moved to Nacogdoches to study journalism at Stephen F. Austin University. Combining a flair for writing with his considerable musical talent, he covered the local music scene for the SFA Pine Log. Following graduation in 1987, he returned to Houston where he worked as a writer for Petroleum Information (now IHS Inc.), Hopkins Public Relations and the Houston Chronicle. In 2004, he retired to travel the world with his long-time love Anne Leonard, whom he married on a joyous April day in 2007. He was preceded in death by his mother and father and is survived by his sister Betsy Badger Truesdale, her husband Thomas Truesdale and niece Katie Truesdale of Walden; and his wife Anne Leonard Badger and her mother, brother, two sisters, four nieces, two nephews and their spouses and significant others who have voted Mike the "best in-law ever." A celebration of Mike's all-too-short life will be held 5:00 p.m. on Saturday, March 7, at the Settegast-Kopf Co. Funeral Home, 15015 Southwest Freeway, Sugar Land, Texas, 281-565-5015. Memorials can be made to the National Humane Society or the American Cancer Society.

March is here !!!

And I am feeling much better now. Spring is in the air and all is right with the world again.
