Y'all come back now, ya hear?

Virginia was the rad-coolest thang ever.

Although, I suppose Virginia is more of a place than a thing.

I wonder if posting pics off of my compy works? Let's learn!

Okay. So I just did. I was trying to upload a pic, but I think I'll leave that for another day cuz I'm currently trying to upload a freak show movie from our road trip back up to Canada, and that's at about 75% completion after only about 15 minutes of uploading, which is pretty darn good for our internet. Now all it has to do is cut out at 98% and say there was an error. That's what happened last time.

*shakes fist*

*Nobody reads this!!!*

Congratulations, Rach & Mike!

Once upon a last night my sister and her husband made a difficult decision and are going to be moving out to yonder St. Kitt's. Heritage should consider itself lucky, taking on such a distinguished personage as Michael. Amazing, the places life takes us to. Not like St. Kitt's is exactly an exotic locale or any such thing, but it's just neat to see life's path unwinding before us. I just wish I could see over the Great Wall of China that's seemingly blocking my road. Or, to be more metaphorical, I wish that the sun would burn off the fog which is making this a rather tedious journey. I don't even know. I'm just rambling now.

I feel like posting more pictures. How about....things like childhood memories of Rachel....

Except, oh, this is annoying. Start from the bottom and work your way up with these pictures, because the order you see them in is the opposite order of how I posted them.


And now I look at this post and see how useless it is. But now that I've gone to all the effort of posting those pics, I'm not deleting them. Too bad for you.


K, switching gears a little bit here. Gears switched - Playmobile and Legos were always a bit part of the Mussche girl childhood. Good, good times....







This man is doing something fiddly, something which Rachel was constantly doing at home. I just don't see how she had the patience for it. Not only would she construct odd, fiddly contraptions, but she would draw these insanely amazing fiddly pictures of like, lions and stuff. Serious skill there.





For Christmas every year, Rachel would always ask, without fail, for "a puppy". Also, pretty much every week on the grocery list, we would invariably find "puppy" smuggled in amongst notes of needs for eggs, milk, tangerines, cheese, etc. We never did get a puppy. Maybe someday Rachel, your dream will be reached and you'll get a puppy. Til then, however, isn't this a nice Labradoodle?





Kiddie pools were a large part of our childhood. We would trek out to Canadian Tire and pick one up. We'd set it up the first bloomin' hot day of summer. We'd take it out of the box and it would reek like fresh plastic and the hose would get set inside and we'd fill the pool up but we couldn't really use it right away as soon as it was full because the water would be so cold.
One time, Rachel and I played circus. I was a seal. She was the RingMaster. Maybe that experience is the reason that I've never been overly fond of the circus.






The End.

wow, I am so useless....

The first search page on Google

K. I'm trying to post pics again. This time, it's for that thing that I stole off of Amanda's site that she stole off of Rachel's site. I'm pretty flipping sure that I won't be able to post these pics, though. And if they don't work, you'll never read this, so why do I even bother typing this much?

Find and post an image from the first Google Image page for each topic:


1: the town you were born in (Hamilton)





2: the town you live in now (Glanbrook - I ACTUALLY KNOW WHERE THIS PICTURE WAS TAKEN!!!. Isn't that weird? So, so weird. I thought it looked familiar, and then I looked again and read the caption and looked a few more times and I was like HEY! That's the back pond! Weird.)





3: your name (Lauren - I'm a Cinderella Woman!)






4: your grandmother's name (Jenny)





5: your favourite food (casserole)




6: your favourite drink (ice tea)




7: your favourite smell (the scent left by the rain)





Well, that was fun. I just had to post everything in backwards mode and with no layout and it worked. I think. At least, I can see the images on my post screen. Can YOU see them? Please, please say yes.
