This blog continues to track what is going on with us. For those of you who didn't get to read the beginning....Sean and Jennifer met January 5, 2008 on a blind date. Everything went well and the Lyon became a Sinner December 6, 2008. It was a very busy year. 2009 has been no sedate pace either. In late August Sean and Jennifer relocated to Alaska for work. We are still waiting to be settled.....
Even though this is the second time to the altar for both Sean and I, my family are not slackers. Grazing on the land behind Jared's home site are the goats for my dowry!
We stopped to pick some wild plums. They were tasty but it is an open invite to disaster to eat more than a few at a sitting. We decided that they would make a tasty pie, so the part of the picture that you can't see is that Sean is loading up my shirt full since we lacked a bag.
For Jared,- let's just say his macho streak doesn't come out around spiders-, to get on a rock and stand on the snakes head, we all pretty much guessed it to be dead. His step-daughter Paige got to take the rattle home for school show and tell.
On one of our rides we came around a corner and Jared flagged us down. There was a rattle snake in the middle of the road. As you can see by the rocks, he smooshed it. Then he let the cave man loose and cut off the rattler with a sharp rock. All of us Alaskans stared at the writhing thing debating its level of deadness. The next picture is the clincher.
Besides the Hampton Inn post that only Doug can truly appreciate, here is the story that makes sense. We went to Whitebird, ID to visit my brother Jared for a few days. We got to go rafting and did a lot of sightseeing by 4-wheeler. This was right before Sean went crazy trying to see how far he could fling rocks by fishtailing along the road. Just kidding! I was on the back so he had to take it easy.
