This would be the amazing view at the top of our hill. Yeah. I remember watching fireworks from up here. Sigh.

Talk about splendor...

I lived here...
And, this one is my old house. Proof that I did at one time live here. The window on the right is the kitchen, the one next to the door is the dinning room, and the window you can't see behind the big tree at left is where my bedroom was. It's true!
Another of many...
This was another one of me on the swings. I was not just holding my feet to the sky sitting on the ground. That would be too easy.
One of many...
This is one of many pictures I took on one day walking around our old neighborhood. I like this one quite a bit.

Funny brother...
This is a funny picture of my brother who I got to ride on this really old playground equipment. It was made even more entertaining to see him in a jacket, as we were at a wedding that day.

Time for a plug...
It's been almost a month now... I thought I should mention my radio station again. Listen to Revitalized Radio! Click the link at the right.

Don't combine thunderstorms and picnics...
All I can say is, what a day.
Got up, went to church early to be a Sacristan, helped set-up for the church picnic after mass, went home, watched some of Speed 2, went back to the picnic, ate food, waited until the storm and rain moved in, then things got fun. (Beat that run-on sentence.)
So I went in the parish center with my brother and dad to get something, and I went to check out the radar because I was wondering how the storms were doing. I got to weather.com and realized that there was a Tornado Warning for Midland County. Now, upon discovering this around 3:13 or so, I told my brother and my dad. Sure enough, the dj outside was listening to the radio too, and about 5 minutes later, everyone was being moved inside. I tell you, while everyone was calm, it was rather funny to see everyone walking into the parish center for shelter. I don't know why. I was excited, a little worried, but excited about the impending storm.
Then the rain started to pour around 3:35. I was watching out the window and realized that I've never seen it rain so hard in my life. For about 30 seconds visibility was reduced to basically zero. The rain was being whipped around, most of it seemed to not even reach the ground.
The storm finally past and we went outside to look at Swede Rd. and saw a rather large "lake" where the road used to be. The huge tent that had been up for the picnic was completely torn and fallen on all the tables. I wish I had my camera with me, but I didn't.
Then, as people came out of the building, we slowly began cleaning up. Puddles of water were everywhere. It was actually kind of funny to see all of the people helping to clean up the mess. The picnic was supposed to last about 4 hours I think but it only really made it to 1 1/2.
But, in my opinion, there has never been a better parish picnic. What a crazy, fun day. Really. :)

One more, before I get in trouble... again...
This was the only other one I was able to take that day. Read more about the story below... Stupid rules. (Or made up ones)
A fun plane trip...
Just thought that this picture might be cool to post. There's an interesting story behind this one too. Apparently you can't use cameras on a plane according to the flight attendent. Thing is, they prohibit phones, radios, etc., but never say anything about using cameras on a plane. I never really understood that whole ordeal.

Another photo from a cabin...
Here's a picture from inside the house. From upstairs obviously. (Or maybe I'm just floating in the air.)
A photo from a cabin...
This is where I'd much rather be right now. My friends cabin, which is more like a house in the middle of the woods, next to a river.

While we're at it...
My radio station, Revitalized Radio, has just gotten 10x's better. I threw in a good amount of money to upgrade the package for broadcasting. Now it has more music in rotation, new programing, and well, actually, that's it. But those really make all the difference in the world. REALLY!
