Raszha the Cheetah.. he was beautiful...
For today's holiday I actually did a couple of things.. laundry and a new hobby.... Scrapblogging.. I know I know.. Who would've thunk it? I wouldn't have thought that there were sites for scrapblogging.. pictures and quotes and I think you can incorporate music too.. So I gave it a whirl today and had posted two of the same (added more pics) then removed them due it taking way too long to load..so here is a link for you take a look.. http://www.scrapblog.com/viewer/viewer.aspx?sbid=1991015
.. You can pick from assorted free stickers and borders/frames and backgrounds and so on.... but there are a lot that you would buy.. with credit.. I have no credit worthy of buying.. I do the next best thing and look for the free stuff.. But some of the free items are pretty neat.. So enjoy and you might want to try out Scrapblogging too!
I'm feeling under the weather.. I have a shoulders and neck injury.. that has not dissipated one iota.. So I thought that instead of blogging I would pass some time and look up some ood facts or stupid laws.. This may also become another series for down the road..Here a few examples of odd or stupid facts..
Tourists visiting Iceland should know that tipping at a restaurant is considered an insult!
Should there be a crash, Prince Charles and Prince William never travel on the same airplane as a precaution!
There are 18 different animal shapes in the Animal Crackers cookie zoo!
The names of Popeye's four nephews are Pipeye, Peepeye, Pupeye, and Poopeye!
Some Odd Laws:
California law prohibits a woman from driving a car while dressed in a housecoat.
It is against the law to mispronounce the name of the State of Arkansas in that State.
In Illinois, the law is that a car must be driven with the steering wheel.
In Michigan, married couples must live together or be imprisoned.
As you can see there are several really odd and weird laws..
I'm starting a new series.. After a much needed rest from blogging I have had several ideas pop into my little old brain and thought I would start off with Canadian Roadside Attractions.. little towns that you might not know exsist.... I would like to keep it to three pics a post.. Places I have never heard of...So sit back and enjoy this journey down the long highways and through small towns.. Some not so little..
World's Largest Standing Cuckoo Clock
Kimberley, British Columbia , Population: 7,147
The highest city in Canada, at 1,120 metres, Kimberley is the classic mining town of the Rockies region. Named in 1896 after the famous South African diamond mine, Kimberley was incorporated as a city in 1968 and became the Bavarian City of the Rockies in the early 1970's.
Cache Creek, British Columbia,
Population: 1136
Elevation: 400 metres (1300 ft.)
Main Industries: Tourism, lumber mill
The bustling Village of Cache Creek is located at the Junction of the Trans Canada Highway and Highway 97. It is situated on the Thompson Plateau at the junction of the Cariboo and Thompson Valleys, which help to form the Interior Plateau. And, like the areas surrounding it, Cache Creek also offers a variety of terrain. The Bonaparte River runs through Cache Creek and above the deep valley of the river lies rolling grasslands which give way to surrounding hills covered in sagebrush and cactus. Above the rolling desert hills lie beautiful mountainous terrain.

Hi.. my name is LHM.. or also known as Little Hairy Man.. My Momma and I like to hang on the porch and watch people .. I like to get their attention by screeching loudly.. My Momma doesn't like it when I do that.. It makes her frown.. I love my momma..I also like hanging out with my Pappa.. He works an awful lot.. but not Fridays... he is home to do stuff for my Momma.. like shopping for toys..he he he..
I love my Momma and Pappa and of course big sister MPR and Big brother CB.. He doesn't visit a lot but when he does come I like to snuggle and wrestle with him... 
Momma and Me...
Pappa and Me...
Me.. Of course..
Me eating a snack... yummy..
Playing at Gage Park..(taken last year)
Beautiful fountain in the park..
Overlooking the fountain...A very good friend of ours called us on Friday to tell us that his Father passed away.. Although he knew that his Father wasn't doing well .. it was still very sad to hear.. So yesterday afternoon BHM and I went to the visitation to pay our respects to the family. They had a beautiful dvd done up with pictures and a big board with photos that our friends daughter had made up for her Grandpa.. it was very nicely done. Very sweet that she did that..
Earlier yesterday morning, an older lady that has lived across the street passed away also. From what I can surmise her family weren't on happy terms and they lived in Calgary.. I'm not sure how old she was but she kept to herself mostly and lived in the same house all of her life.. I knew she had a cat that was her faithful companion but sadly the cat got so old and sick it eventually died.. Every morning I would see this same cab driver pick her up with said cat to go to the vet so that they could pump food and liquid into it. I found it odd but I guess she really loved that cat to keep it alive.. so now she reunited with her beloved cat..
