The man without a face.... book.

Dear Friends and Family,

Is this how people are treated when they don't keep up with the latest technology and gadgets? Are they isolated from the world? Do they not get "liked" or invited to the latest parties?

I dare you to contact an old friend in an old fashioned way!
Type a letter - Do typewriters still exist?
Mail a letter - Although it will no longer get delivered on Saturday.
Stop by the house - Am I the only one who takes Sunday drives?
Make a phone call - Without speed dial.

Best of luck.

Summertime Fever

No, I was not struck by lightening in a sudden thunder storm. Nor did I run off and elope in Vegas. I have however been making a ruckus and romping around finding all sorts of summertime adventures to keep me busy with and crossing activities off my bucket list. Unfortunately for you, this decreases my internet/blogging time drastically, which leaves you with little to no entertainment.  - Sorry!

Fourth of July weekend I went on my very first camping excursion.

We slept in a tent (without an air mattress), fishing (and caught zip zero zilch), swimming (in seaweed), and biking (on horrible hills).

We also went kayaking on the lake, had a campfire, and grilled some goodies.

Despite all these exciting adventures, my favorite activity that weekend by far was using my GoGirl. Thanks to my sister Andrea for donating, I can now take life standing up and boy oh boy was that an adventure.

Was it everything I hoped for and more? - Absolutely.

Bon Voyage

As many of you may know, my sister Rebecca has the perfect line for dodging dates.  - "I'm going to be a Nun". Wish I could use that as an excuse.

Luckily for me she chose to have her last supper (no pun intended) with me prior to departing for France on Wednesday. We enjoyed some delicious spaghetti pizza from Angelos and a cup of sweet iced tea. Afterwards we ventured to Walmart to pick up some last minute musts (aka a calling card to make Mama Kunk happy).

Upon drilling the electronic worker about his knowledge regarding calling cards we had a somewhat humorous conversation that went something like this:

Rebecca: How many minutes does this international calling card give me if I'm calling from France?
Walmart Worker: I don't know. Not many people from here travel outside the country.
Me: At least not ones that come to call home.
Walmart Worker: How long are you going to France for?
Rebecca: Indefinitely
Me: She is one of the lucky ones that got away.

The worker looked slightly flabbergasted as we continued to the checkouts. Rebecca and I were left chuckling and had a good laugh.

I'm happy I got to spend some extra time with my sister before she left. I am hopeful that I can plan a trip to visit her within the next couple of years since she wont be able to return home until sometime around 2014. I miss her already!


 Love You Becca!
