Long way home!

After a shoot that we had to do in Boise, we decided to take the long way home. We drove through the mountains to Stanley Lake. Of course, we spent a little time taking some images and wishing we had the camper. It was a beautiful late summer weekend.

Bar J

Brian and I spent the evening with Tim and Johnna Tanner. They took us to the Bar J Chuckwagon dinner show as a thank you to Brian for helping Tim with his shoot back east. As usual the entertainment was fantastic! We then spent the night in Jackson and got up early to see the "usual" photographer sites. We need to do this more often.

School is Cool!

Well, another semester has begun. I love fall because of the cool weather, but the first day of the semester it was cold, wet and blowing! I hope that this isn't a omen of the semester to come! Brian and I are taking a pottery class as well! Thought it would be fun to get a little muddy...I am just afraid that I will like it and then we will have another expensive hobby on our hands!

Just us Women!

Marie and her kids came to visit last weekend...good times! We worked on a pinewood derby car, went fishing and enjoyed the cool Idaho weather. Brian missed it all by running off the to east coast to "work"!

Jordan's Visit

Oh what do you do in the summertime? You have a nephew visit and you go fishing and you turn magic wands and you go school clothes shopping...When Jordan came we had a great time and did so many fun things. I hope he thinks so too!

Lightning strikes

So as the storm blew in this evening, Brian and I decided to try and chase down some lightning. We tried it last week and all we got was wet and muddy. Anyway, we got a few shots tonight of a few bolts. Harder than it looks to catch lightning in a camera! Still it was fun!

Grandma's Funeral

My Grandma Weeks passed away July 14th and we had her funeral on Saturday the 17th. It was a wonderful funeral, great speakers, great songs and a beautiful warm day. She was a great lady and she will be missed.

Nevermind...

Well, our last post was premature. Our last little fishy friend expired during the night. Guess we were not supposed to have fish this year. I think we will wait and try again next year. :(

Koi Kare...

Well, we are dealing with more trauma in the Pond..or as Brian calls it, the Money Pit!!! Over the last 2 weeks we hadn't seen the 5 new fish that we bought. Saturday when we finally saw the 2 yellow koi, one of them wasn't looking to great. As we investigated further we found the dead carcii of 2 of the other 3 fish. After much internet research, we found out that the pond has a parasite that is attacking the fish. The larger fish (yellows) were still hanging on because they were...well, larger. But this morning we lost another one. So, this afternoon, we got serious, Brian caught the sole survivor...who was lethargic and showing signs of being really sick. Dr. B then gave the poor little guy a salt bath, then a medicated fresh water bath. We have added a treatment to the pond and in a week, we treat it again. Only then can our poor lonely little fishy friend go back in and swim freely. Wish us luck, better than that...wish our fish luck!!! By the way, we still haven't named him...any thoughts!

July 4th Fun!

Brian and I headed over to the Balloon Festival in Driggs early in the morning. We took pictures of some colorful and fun balloons, then meandered home. Later we turned on the lathe and generally had a peaceful and mellow day.
