At Grandma's House

During our summer in Idaho we made some new friends:

Annie

and sweet baby Gwennie

We pondered the beauty of our Gem State

and danced until sunset...which is really really late at Grandma's in the summer.

This kid loved Idaho's wide, open spaces-

He could just run and run and run....

We Miss Grandpa

Things just aren't the same around here.

Check out Aunt Jan's story on www.Rexburbia.com. My blanket request for stories from strangers that I posted on Rexburbia a couple weeks ago was fruitless, so I had to cajole family into participating for me. Aunt Jan was good to comply. Keep checking Rexburbia during the week for more "family history." (I tried to not make it appear that I was only utilizing family by asking relatives with different last names.) I swear this Rexburg journalist-ish gig is difficult for a chick living 16 hours away from Rexburg. Who ever knew.

Holland, Nolte booked on charges of lewd drunkenness

Sunday night was auspicious occasion in rural Maricopa, Arizona, as famous actor Nick Nolte, and his accomplice, Holland, terrorized the town and gave new meaning to the saying, 'Paint the town red.' Nolte is well renowned for his acting ability, but more well known for his ability to hold a drink. However, in a rare case of a child prodigy gone mad, he couldn't hold a candle to this young toddler he caroused with that night. "She was pounding them left and right..." reported an onlooker, who was unable to stop Holland from out-drinking everyone in the joint. Eventually, the party spilled outside, where young Holland screamed at oncoming traffic and reportedly shouted various threats to members of a nearby crowd, directly her vile toward her arch rival, who's only known as 'the baby with one eyebrow.' The chaotic situation eventually calmed down when police arrived to haul Nolte and his 'mini me', as he was calling her, off to the county jail. Holland, who showed no remorse for her actions, only offered this statement to reporters, "Give me fruit snacks...and a cold one."

You better believe I was the X-factor...or at least I tried to be, until the old, cranky security guard came up and told me he would make me eat the flag if he saw it again...

I just wish I could get more excited at the games, maybe I'll bring a book next time...

For your viewing pleasure...

In case you missed it, I'm the guy in the #8 jersey in the stands, not on the court...
