Argh me mateys! I know that this blog is late, but I was busy pillaging, looting and all that. And that was only the morning of National Talk Like a Pirate Day. That night we watched all the Pirates of the Caribbean, ate fish and "Chips". We put lemon juice on the fish to keep the scurvy at bay. We also ate ice-cream. It was a jolly time with the scalleywags.
I did teach the student I work with to say Argh, so we did enjoy argh-ing at school.
I think that the Cap'n had too much of the pirateing 'cuz he got the stomach flu and has been throwing up again. I think that fun and travel makes him sick LOL.
Yo Ho Ho it's a pirates life for me!!!

Copper Mine. Dirt Yours
A few weeks ago we went on a tour of an old copper mine and the now ghost town of Dillon.
I made the slideshow to see how to make it work without having to go on line to Photobucket.
Thanks Cap'n.

Wedding Daze
My sister TOG is officially married and hooked for life and beyond. Poor soul. LOL.
Friday night we hopped into our silver sailing vessel and headed in a Westerly direction. The weather was on our side as we traveled the waves of tar and sage. we forgot to bring CD's on this voyage and our radio channels are very limited and at times non existent, so we were delighted and uplifted by the sweet musical talent of Mario Girl. She is more then just a galley princess. She is a very multi-talented wonder of joy. She loves to make up songs. The song that she sang for us was a jolly rendition of "Llamas making chocolatey". Not only is that the name of the song, that is all the words in the song. although chocolatey is repeated over and over again. This was a delight on the way to utah and on the way home.
Saturday we went to SLC Temple for the binding of two poor souls who are too nieve to know better. The temple ceremony was beautiful. There were more people getting married on 9-13 then there are in June or December. It was crazy crowded. You'd think it was the last and only chance there was to get married in the temple.
The most disturbing thing about the whole thing was that we found out that the malls were torn down. NO one told us this. We were beyond ourselves. After the ceremony we drove around looking for any mall that we could roam. We did find one to the Cap'ns relief.
Later we drove to Tooele for the reception. We had pictures taken, we ate food (thanks mom), and visited with people we haven't seen in awhile and won't see again until another wedding or a death. See you all then!! I took pictures but they didn't all turn out well. I was in a hurry as the Cap'n was sick and throwing up and other fun things that come with stomach sickness.
We drove home on Sunday. The Llama song was once again wonderful. I wish that I could record it and play it for you all. It is truely a song of wonder and joy. I love it. maybe I will video it since you do need to see the hand motions that go with it.
We think that the best part of the trip was our stop at Little America where we saw a real to life Hot Wheels car. I will attach a picture of that it was awesome. I will also put a pic of Tog and her cowboy hubby. They are now on their honeymoon in Yellowstone. OOOOOO.
