Well....we planted our garden this year. Out of all the onions, beans, peas, and carrots that we planted, it seems our most bountiful harvest came from our sunflowers. They are huge, the tallest one is about 8 feet tall. I love them. They also provide good shade for our chickens and goats.

This last Friday night we went to the Puyallup Fair. We surprised the girls with tickets to the Carrie Underwood concert. They were really excited. It was a good concert, she sounds perfect live. We didn't get much time to look around. We pretty much only were able to look at the exotic animals, have an elephant ear, go on a few rides, and go to the concert. I haven't been to the fair at night in years. The Freaks Come out at night....my gosh. It is just out of control. If I saw one more teenage boy in women's skinny jeans, I thought I was going to die. I have to say it's bad enough that the girls are wearing them, but why do the guys have to? Do they really think they look good? Anywho....I hope everyone has a great week.

I wish I could see a close-up of that bug.
Oh- I'm TOTALLY on the same page with you on the "skinny jeans". AND the stupid, boff hair-cuts...you know, like long, 70's tv star-boy haircut (bangs in face). Pair that with some skinny pants...it's the look of "annoying!"

MJP said...

No kidding. It's called "Emo" (ee-moe). The girls and boys dress exactly alike. Hair parted way on one side, bangs in face. little stick legs, and tight shirts. Re-darn-diculous.
Why when you leave a comment does it show brian &kara? I have always wondered but never asked.

MJP said...

You know what, when I typed it like I see it on your sign in name it came out right? I must sound crazy, but it shows up as brian $ amp; kara.

MJP said...

uhhh. never mind

Ok...that's what Emo is. I was at a concert last month and one of the band members said something like...we are a real f-ing band not a f-ing emo band. (They were kind of angry sounding). I had no idea what emo was....but I've wondered what the deal is with skinny pants and the bangs,etc. Whats up with that? What does emo mean anyway?

I've wondered about brian and Kara's sign in name too....maybe because its a symbol.

Marjean....you were in my dream last night...we went to Matt Abbey's wedding. It was interesting. weird too.

Brian & Kara said...

Prince isn't the only one who can have a symbol...
No, it started a few weeks ago and it just won't stop. Everytime I leave a comment, it's brian& kara. I have no idea why or how to fix it.
I've never even heard of Emo. Thanks for keeping us hip, Marjean.

MJP said...

Emo is short for emotionally disturbed. Cool isnt' it, to actually want to be called that. I am pretty cool with all the lingo, I guess it is from having Rachel around. Next time you guys see me I will be emotionally disturbed aka EMO
Matt Abbey's wedding? Did we crash it? I just looked at Matt on Facebook.
Kara...you can have a symbol if you want too.

Brian & Kara said...

So, that's why you cut your hair!

MJP said...

Yes

Brian & Kara said...

I'm so ready for an update... Oh, did I say that out loud?

MJP said...

OK,OK I am working on it, I am trying to do the background thing, but it didn't work all the way.

Brian & Kara said...

Well, I'll be checking back, frequently, wine in hand, hopes high.
