Today's Giggle

According to the email I got, there is a certain tree in Africa that produces a fruit that contains alcohol. Being the desert and all this juicy fruit is extremely tasty to all the animals.

The problem with this being, of course, that they get intoxicated when they eat the fruit.

I don't know if this is for real, but I can't imagine what else would make elephants and monkeys act this way.

The narrative in the video is in French, but you don't need to hear it to understand. But the music adds to it I think.

I Miss You All

Hi Ya'll.

I'm so sorry I've been away from the blog for so long. I miss you all dearly.

My life has been very busy and involved and I have had little time to sit at the computer even to read e-mail, much less blog.

We are possibly undergoing some exciting changes in our family.

For one, Chris has 6 weeks left of school and he will (finally) receive his BA in Criminal Justice. (Hooray!!!!)

He has a lot of ideas about how to put this degree to good use.

I have been having a lot of thoughts about my own education as we have said all along that when Chris finished it would be my turn to go to school.

I have had a difficult time deciding what to study as the most obvious choices didn't seem to feel right. I think I have got my plan worked out and I will give you more news on that as it develops.

CJ is graduating 5th grade this week and will be going to middle school in September!

Mark will start 3rd grade in the fall. We are planning his baptism for some time this summer when his cousins can be here.

Well, that's the brief update on me.

I will try to continue blogging on random topics when I can fit in the blog time. And I will still be reading all of your blogs regularly too.

I love you all, I miss you, I value you. I'll be commenting on your blogs soon.

Love, Della

Yay, School's Out! or Help, I'm Afraid for my Sanity!

My kids have 8 more school days until they are out for the summer. We have a few things planned for the summer to help keep us busy, not to mention our close proximity to the BEACH, so hopefully we won't be getting too stir crazy, but I still tend to stress about the summer. So I was excited when I got an email that gave me another cool suggestion for a summer activity.

If you haven't heard of >> Kidsbowlfree.com <<, check it out.

It is a great program that allows children 15 and under to go bowling every day for free.

They can play up to 2 games each day, and I don't think shoe rental is included, but it is an awesome program.

Check the website for participating bowling alleys near you.

(I apologize in advance to my Utah readers as I think there is only 1 alley that does this in Utah).

They also offer an inexpensive membership for the adults in the family so you can bowl with your kids.

Have a great summer and if you have cheap recreation ideas I'd love to hear them.
