Pictures from my Phone & Weekly Distractions

Occasionally I catch my 9-year-old niece on Facebook chat and on a good day, I'm able to get her to chat with me for a few minutes. Unfortunately she usually seems to be too busy to chat for long. But I cherish these moments. Speaking of Facebook, have you liked the Stranger Facebook page yet? No? Go ahead and do it now. We'll wait and we won't talk about anything important while you're gone . . . ok guys, they left. What do you really think about them? At first I wasn't really sure because they were wearing that shirt and oh shhhhhh! They're coming back. Hey welcome back! Thanks for liking the FB page. Now on to today's post.

Eli: Hey there baby cakes!

Kaylee: I can't talk to you right now. I'm very busy.

Eli: Too busy for your favorite uncle!?!?!?

Kaylee: Yes. Love you.

Eli: Can I just tell you one thing before you go?

Kaylee: What?

Eli: Did you ever know that you're my hero?

Kaylee: ok.

Eli: You're everything I wish I could be.

Kaylee: I know!!!!!!

Eli: Oh and I. I could fly higher than an eagle. You. You are the wind beneath my wings.

Kaylee: You are weird Eli and I don't understand you.

Never were truer words spoken. And now, your weekly pictures and distractions:

Sometimes I want to scream at Palau. But other times, I remember that I live in a place where I can drive for a few minutes and then play all day in cascading waterfalls in February. During those times, my life seems pretty awesome.
 


Enjoying a perfect day for waterfalling.
Daniel spent half the afternoon staring at pieces of vine and tree. This branch was to Daniel like a ball of yarn is to cats.




Crap to distract you from whatever you're supposed to be doing

  1. I couldn't stop looking at the 18 beautifully bizarre places.....I think Palau should be added to that list! Your pics are always beautiful! BTW, I am still waiting for you to post a picture of the "coffee-cakes" in the coffee shop!

  2. Are you sure you don't live in Okinawa? These scenes look like many that I see every day here.

  3. Those are your friends?!?! I love watching those guys. Been watching their videos for a while. They are insane. Looks like fun, but no way I would ever jump off a cliff..

  7. My nephew is 7 and tells me I'm weird all the time. I take it as a compliment, even though I'm pretty sure he doesn't mean it that way.

    There are some really bizarre places on this planet of ours. Cool, but strange.

  8. Hey Eli, if I wanted to submit crap to distract you from whatever you're supposed to be doing, where would I do it?

  9. Your niece deserves a "Tellin' it like it is" award. I couldn't agree with her last sentence more.

  11. I feel your pain with you niece. I try to talk to my 12 year old nephew and he never has time for it.

  12. Dude, if I thought my conversations with my relatives were potentially being posted on a blof for all the world to see, I would TOTALLY be "too busy" for that. Even at 9 years old where "busy" involves My Little Ponies and Jonathan Taylor Thomas (oh, wait, how old is he now? He was pretty cool when I was 9 and he was 9 and we clearly had SO much in common!!!)
