Crossing the Red Sea

In case anyone was unsure, the Red Sea may be found in Hubbard, OR. In my bedroom, in fact.

One of Mark, Madalyne and my favorite pasttimes is to have themed slumber parties. What better people to have slumber parties with than ones who reside in the same house and can choose to sleep in the comfort of their own beds?......We alone know the TRUE meaning of "slumber" parties. ;)

This is the Red Sea. You'll notice Egypt is on one side..... And Canaan is on the other side....
Watch out for the natives....
Benefits of the Promised Land.... Some of the sea life you might be a spectator to as you cross the parted sea....

Dressed as we were in our usual Egyptian apparel....

Malachi was invited to join in the festivites....Shocked to see the Sea parted!

The Beginning of My Bird Collection

I arrived home the other day to find that some poor fowl specimen had unluckily flown in the path of my oncoming car, and probably never lived to realize that it's place of resting is now in the plastic, teal grate of my Chevy Cavalier.

My problem now is how to get it out. I'm plagued with a fear of birds, and that means I especially don't like extracting them --dead-- from odd places. If anyone reading this knows of a bird extraction service around.....well, I'd appreciate a referral. Until then, I'm heading to the nearest Fred Meyer to invest in an extremely potent air freshener.
