“naked 5th graders”?!!! 1) Who would search for that?! 2) Why would it find me?!! (that’s evident. 5th graders reference is Sarah’s field trip etc and naked is in many references to Amy and Tommy) I get an awful lot of finds on “tetrafluoroethane huffing”.

Lost Humor
Somewhere along the line this comedian traded humor for stress. My wife often cracks jokes that I respond way too seriously. I want my humor back!
Book Recommendations
I’ve been given two boook recommendations. I cannot review these yet but they come highly recommended from a good friend.

A New Day!
Let’s start the day off with a PayPal donation link:

This Morning
The inlaws had Sarah, Noah and Amy for the night. Wahoo! We could sleep in except that my body won’t let me.
Had a pleasant phone call from my brother where I talked his ear off.
Called my father to wish him a Happy Father’s Day.
Cathy suggested these pictures should be done in…
Cathy suggested these pictures should be done in order. They are too big to render in a line in most people’s browsers so I will describe them assuming you are reading left to right and top to bottom.
The first picture (shows a soccer goal) is to the leftmost of what we all call “the lower lot”. Beyond the burn pile is the area that has a grapevine and will become a garden. This picture was actually taken from the bottom of the driveway.
The 2nd picture. View from the dining room window. The stuff on the right is being trimmed back.
The third picture is the view directly behind the house. Notice how our private jungle encroaches upon us. Note: all these “hello” pictures can be clicked on for larger images.
The fourth picture. Here is the rest of our rain forest down the backside of the house. View still from dining room window and to the right of the initial dining room picture. 
This is in the lower lot directly behind the house…
Amy the Innocent
A couple of nights ago Sarah left her container of makeups unlatched (Amy can’t open it when its latched) and lying on her floor beside her bed. The kicker is that while Amy raided the makeup, Sarah was on her bed reading a book and taking no notice of Amy’s activities!
“Come on! I didn’t do anything…”
“OK! You busted me…”
“I just want to be like Sarah sooo badly!”
“Eeyuck! Look what I did!”
“I’m clean! It’s the tub’s turn!”
Once again, Goof Off comes to the rescue!
Tommy Hides
This is how Tommy spends an unusually large portion of his days now. Yes, like Prego, he’s in there!

In all fairness, here is Tommy up and about. He is walking the grandparents dog in our cove (our house to his back).

Don’t talk to me until after my first cup
Looks like its “kill people’s bandwidth day”! I hope everyone has a broadband connection.

Pineapple Bacon and Cheese Toast
With Judith’s great recipe posts as my inspiration, I decided to post some pictures of one of my favorite quick and tasty breakfasts. I woke one morning in my early teens to the smell of bacon cooking and watched my father make this. Never being one to shy away from trying new foods I chowed down and loved it! Thanks Dad!
Ingrediants
slice bread
1 slice of bacon per slice of bread
1 slice of cheese per slice of bread
1 pineapple slice per slice of bread
Cook the bacon. Lightly toast the bread. Apply a pineapple slice to each slice of bread. Break a bacon strip in half and place the bacon across each pineapple. Then place a piece of cheese over the bacon.
Place the prepared sandwiches under the broiler for a few seconds to melt the cheese onto the bacon and pineapple. Best served warm.
Enjoy!
