More Randoms

Here are some random photos that I have been collecting for a while... I painted the kitchen! The left wall is a sea foam greenish teal and the right wall is a deep jewel green with blue undertones... It looks great with the black frames! Oh and these hydrangea lived in this vase for 4 weeks... I think they have crack in the soil here.
And I did the light green and the far wall in the kitchen too... Kona said "rooks great momma"
New project I started with all of this sea glass I found at shipwreck beach
I am gluing it to the sliding glass door with hot glue making a sort of sea glass mosaic. It looks soooo cool!
This is at "Hachenohoe Childrens Land" It is a ghetto pretty lame amusement park for kids, but these old horses on the merry go round took cool pictures.
They are so old and sad but full of character...
This on the other hand I am pretty sure is full of mange.... You put a couple hunderd yen into this thing and it moves around and you steer it... Like a giant wind up toy... it was really really really creepy
This is another ride a the amusment park that would never fly in the states... it is a bike on a track... you pay money to wheel yourself around on this track... we had this little fat kid with us and he went on it once and was going so slow he had all the other carts backed up behind him... he was all red and huffing when he got off... it was pretty funny.
Derick after his naming ceremony... that means the pilots got him really drunk and gave him a call sign... he is now "OAR".... so he is now OAR Gee.... say that out loud together... hmmmm.... not amused... no I actually think it is pretty funny... as you can see Derick was in rare form that night!
After the naming went to a "roof stomp" its where you welcome a new commander by showing up at his house in the middle of the night and eating his food and drinking his alcohol... I did not realize that "roof stomp" was a literal term... but he actually got his roof stomped... via this tree... you can see Joker climbing down...
Driving home after we went camping on the beach, Kona was in the back with all of our gear... she wanted so bad to be part of the fun up front but she was soooo tired...
this is normal...
after running after her ball down the ski hill on base Kona thought this pile of ice was a very nice bed!
at a farewell picnic at the base ski lodge
Japanese sunset
The rice is getting big, its really cool to watch it grow

Really guys?

I love the paint colors! And how do you plan to get the glass off of your door? I can't believe Kona hasn't destroyed that ball yet! Does she just chase it for hours?

Love all the pictures! The last one of Kona and Sabi is my fav (no offense to drunk-face Derick McGee over there).

PS--I love you.
