All Things Come To An End

Well, it's time for this blog to come to it's end for several reasons...

One, it's time consuming and hard to find things to write about (you can only post so many funny videos). As I get older, I get more and more choosy about how I spend my time and my diminishing mental capacities ;)

Two, the readership has fallen off greatly over the last year -- even more so since I have started posting regularly on Facebook.

Three, Facebook is easier and quicker and it enables me to reach a larger group of people -- both friends and family. It allows me to share small thoughts as they occur. I have also enjoyed reconnecting with friend and family, especially my cousins in Michigan.

And four, I'm posting significant pictures of our travels and family visits on our Flickr site: www.flickr.com/photos/corralesdan/sets I'll continue to let family know when we have new photos if you're interested.

So, if you're one of the few who still check out this blog, feel free to follow us on Facebook if that's of interest to you.

It's been fun and a challenge -- or as my favorite detective Monk would say, "It's both a blessing and a curse."

Thanks to those who have read our thoughts and adventures for all this time. You're the best.

And the sun sets...

Monday Video - Ever Wanted to Sky Dive?

This is about as close to sky diving that I want to get. It's the Navy Seal team, called the Leap Frogs, dropping into the San Diego Padres stadium on opening day. I think it's pretty cool.

Monday Video - Meet Chris P. Bacon

Meet Chris P. Bacon (get it?). Chris was born without the use of his hind limbs and was set to be put down before vet Len Lucero stepped in and built him a specially-designed wheelchair.

The lovable one-year-old now spends most of his time bringing smiles to faces at a hospital for disabled children in Brighton, Massachusetts, but also gets out quite often making friends wherever he goes.

Take a look back at his progress throughout the last year, from a 1/2 pound baby to a 65 pound grape eating machine.

Sunday Reflection - What Is Love?

I could say a lot of words about what is love, what is God's love. This video speaks far more eloquently than I ever could.

Bucket O' Hair

This is shedding season for horses when they go from their Winter coat to their Summer coat. Before riding this morning I almost filled a five-gallon bucket with Sugar's hair.

Enjoying a Quiet Morning

Last night and evening (Wednesday) it was very, very windy. The wind lasted until early this morning. So, Morgunn and Sugar spent most of the morning enjoying the sun and slight breeze.
