That 4 Looks Good on You! Return the Favor.
Welcome to the afternoon cafe.
Please distract me from doing what I should be doing. (Cleaning my guest room.)
Only if someone distracts me from grading papers.
OK. How’s Andrew?
Wonderful and at the library with daddy. How is your niece?
awww at the library with daddy. How cute.
Violet is good (she’s actually my cousin — her dad is my first cousin, but we’re very close). I’m hoping that they are coming in for Easter so I can see her. I haven’t seen her in person since Christmas. But her grandmother (my aunt) keeps us completely informed about her.
I am sure that she’ll be wearing an adorable Easter dress!
Here!
Hey! Matt Morris did OK for the Giants the other night didn’t he?
Hi, maryb! Yeah, but the aptly named Tyler Walker came in and blew a two-run lead in the seventh last night. Atlanta scored eight runs on two hits, about six walks, a hit batsman, and an error.
But if it doesn’t rain, I get to go see Smoltz vs. Schmidt tomorrow. Looking forward to that.
How frustrating. Although watch out what you say about Atlanta, ej is an Atlanta fan.
Hope it doesn’t rain on you tomorrow. The season isn’t really open until I walk into the stadium.
Cards allowed the Cubs to win their home opener yesterday. Wasn’t that nice of them.
Nothing bad to say about the Braves relative to last night’s game — they took the gifts the Giants gave them. Can’t blame them for that.
No you have to respect the game and those that play it right.
I’m about 1/3 of the way through 3 Nights in August. I’m ready to see a game live and in person. I go next Thursday.
Looks like SF is taking revenge today.
I just got up about an hour ago! It was so nice to sleep in, even though I feel like a supreme slacker!
Here’s some yellow/orange rose petals for ya maryb. 🙂

Beautiful Olivia! How are you feeling?
Sleeping in ’til 1330h certainly helped!
I was just purusing the morning cafe, and I am anxious about Brenda as well. I hope she is okay.
Beautiful!!!!!!
I was admiring your early morning cafe artwork. Very nice!
Thank you!!!!
That is lovely!
I think everybody is watching Maryscott on Fox news…
It’s the first time I regret not being able to watch Fox news on this side of the pond…
It’s a small price to pay. What time is it where you are?
Link to segment video HERE.
Enjoy
Later
Peace
Maryscott is a goddess!!!!!
Is she on again?
I saw the link over on MLW last night. She did a good job. I think she would make an excellent spokeswoman.
This is not up on the Robo-Rater yet because I just now got it working — for me, anyway — but I figure it’s in good enough shape for my froggy friends to test.
Create a new bookmark and paste this code into the “Location” section:
javascript:var f4U=escape(location.href);location.replace(“http://www.moosegrins.com/cgi-bin/rateproxy.cgi?URL=“ + f4U);
Then see if it works any better than the last version.
It will leave an ugly URL in your address bar, but hey, if it works who cares?
I’m going off with my granddaughter to watch Ice Age 2 in a few minutes so I’ll probably have to check in later to see how everything went. My wife is telling me it’s time to go put my pants on now so I don’t embarrass myself again.
Well I am too html challenged to figure it out. LOL
Have fun at the movie.
I’ll set up a link on the Robo-Rater page when I get back so you can just bookmark it like you did the last one (if you did bookmark the last one). I tried to do that here, but I couldn’t get the link to come out right.
sounds great!!!!
and what a laugh when the “evil frog” popped up on the screen.
Hip hip haroop trifoop trifoop trifoop!
66 4s in .66 seconds. You, sir, are a demigod.
That’s what I like. Honest, straightforward criticism.
Well the main highway has major construction between here and austin today and there is a major event going on in austin this weekend with hundres of thousands of tourist in town. I will wait and do my tattoo next weekend. LOL I guess I will fix some lunch take a nap and get up and clean house. LOL
I said I wanted to get two things done this weekend. Here are the Utah photos. Now about that stack of ungraded school papers….
I was going to try to pick out a favorite but there are too many of them! I suddenly feel very small and untraveled.
Sorry for posting and running. We were out doing errands and I took advantage of the Wi-Fi at the library to put up the pictures. It is best that you not mention being untraveled around Andi. I was a stick-in-the-mud about travel for too many years.
But at least you had your priorities straight. Photos before papers.
The Wave #1 is amazing!
Thank you, but that none of the pictures do justice to the place. When my sixth grades looked at the pictures they wanted to take their skateboards there.
THat was the first reaction of my 16 year old.
Anything before grading.
Epitaph for a teacher: At least, I don’t have any more papers to grade.
You want my papers, too?
Only if we can put our papers together to make a bigger bonfire!
These are wonderful — wait ’til NDD sees this album. He’ll be itching to get out the door. 🙂
If I had to select the ones I favour, it would be these:
*Wirepass Canyon and Buckskin Gulch #5
*Half moon over Checkerboard Mesa Zion NP
*The Wave #8 North Coyote Buttes, AZ
*Snow Canyon SP #3
*Chinle Butte GS/ENM
*Eco-patriotism Zion NP
Good luck w/ the papers!
Thanks Olivia. I put them up on my little laptop and haven’t looked at them yet on my desktop with the nice monitor. I may do some touchups. Andi thinks some of them are too dark.
You know, I’ve lived out here for 11 years now and yet still, I see the photos you two shoot and gasp. They are just stunning, you are both very gifted.
he’s cute and people are always asking for pictures.

Andrew has taken to climbing into the toy basket and throwing everything out.
it’s so much easier to figure out which toy to reject that way.
Thanks for the picture!
I can only just “check in” for a bit, because I’m avoiding work that came home with me last night. Sounds like everyone is having a pretty mellow day for the most part … just washed a load of whites and have them out on the line to dry, so that’s my practical accomplishment for the day, lol. Now I just have to get back to finishing my portions of a report … grrr.
Anyway… I mentioned in the lounge thread last night with one of the pics that we have a boulder bed for flowers out front and CG queried about not seeing the boulders. So, thought I would post this one to give you all a sense of what part of our front looks like in early July… see what you think.
Enjoy the afternoon, fellow froggies, and I hope to pop into the cafe/lounge sometime tonight when I have finished my dreaded work. And tomorrow, which is supposed to be warmer, I’ll be out cleaning up another end of said boulder bed… 🙂
Did you take this one? If so, kudos to ya. I’ve yet to get any decent pictures of clouds taken… Guess I’m too down to earth and only focus on the flowers, LOL.
Gotta go now, you folks enjoy the day!
LOL
No I found it somewhere. It’s not mine. But I’m happy you enjoyed it.
Anybody here?
We’re back at home for about hour and then we’re going out again. This is an amazing amount of activity for us.
Don’t tire yourselves out with so much activity!
The worst thing is there will be people I don’t know so I will have to behave myself and act like a grownup which I hate. On the plus side, I don’t have to dress up and it’s at my sister’s house so I know all the good spots to go hide.
Is it a special event FOR someone?
My sister is having some of her UU buds over for dinner and my mother came down for the weekend and my sister wants to see the vacation photos and I couldn’t figure out an excuse not to go.
Well, make the best of it.
It’s hard for me to imagine not liking to go to family events, mine are usually pretty fun.
what is UU?
I’m equal opportunity asocial. I don’t like to go to family events and I don’t like to go to non-family events.
UU = Unitarian Universalist Fellowship
After much procrastination, I’ve finally accomplished the ONE thing I needed to do today.
It’s sad when procrastinating activities involve cleaning.
I don’t procrastinate about cleaning. I ignore it. I have years of proof that this is a very successful strategy.
to the social event of the season.
See you later.
Aren’t families great!!!! I am so glad mine lives a couple thousand miles away. LOL
I just got back –anybody around?
Hey Mary, glad to hear you got your one thing done today. I’ve called it quits with the work I brought home, since I’m tired of having my Saturdays eaten up lately by work! Tomorrow is mega garden clean up, and I may just take some wide view pics of the early spring beds to show what they look like cleaned up. House cleaning, however, is another matter! Hate to let that slide when there’s so much to be done outdoors.
Any big plans for the evening? We may just watch some of the season 5 Six Feet Under disks I got the other day, and order in Thai food. I sure don’t feel like cooking tonight, and have very little around, LOL.
If I don’t bump into you again later, hope the rest of your weekend is relaxing!
I hear you about Saturdays taken up by work you bring home. You should definitely take pics tomorrow so we can see the process. Uncleaned beds; cleaned beds; summer flowers (eventually).
Will do, re the pics. We got most of it cleaned up earlier in the week, but I’ve been “assigned” the end where the Bells of Ireland were because someone else got p-o-ed for getting jabbed by their thorns the other day, lol. I expect I’ll unearth quite a few buried treasures that are starting to come up… some are just charging through the leaves and stuff, but others are still down there.
Ok, now I do have to run… that huge PP deck I needed to send off to work finally uploaded, so no more dilly dallying on my part!
See ya later!
Yeah, long enough to run through the list and do 4s manually, now out for pizza, back soon though, so don’t ya go runnin’ off anywhere!!!
About the same for me… need to get a few things at the store and run a few errands before settling in for the night. How did you like that big view of the front of our house? You can see before/after photos on my website (see my user info for address).
Take any cool pictures today up there? Nice and sunny here, but a bit chilly… only got up to about 53, but it was a good day to hang out laundry.
Hope to pop back in later, but if I don’t manage to, you have yourself a good rest of the weekend!
I just updated the Robo-rater home page with the latest version of Robo-Rater and some information on it. If you’re using the version I put up before today, you will want this new one. It actually refreshes the page when it’s done.
asked w/out trying…but previous tests were negative…hope springs eternal.
Peace
Robo-Rater works fine with OS X 10.4 and Firefox for me. I couldn’t get it to work with Safari. I am switching to Firefox as my default browser.
I’m still running 10.2.8 and really don’t want to change browsers….got a lot of stuff on the LT already…manual works for me.
BTW, the pix you posted are superb. It’s incredibly hard to capture the presence and grandeur of nature on film, and I am in awe of your talent and ability to capture it the spirit of it…beautiful work!!!
Peace
You once again have impeccable timing in making your entrance. I just opened the new lounge.
