Having Fun with Writer Plug-Ins

Once I get started posting I guess I work up some momentum!  I published my last post using Live Writer and then spent some time playing with Writer a bit.  I found a fun plug in that can display my photos in a cool way…here’s a sample.

Polaroid – totally retro!

This is my little sis Jadyn at the Microsoft Company Picnic.  There were acres of fun games and activities…and her favorite part of the day was getting totally soaked at the water spigot. 

At the Cabin

The sampling of pics I uploaded earlier this week just wasn’t enough - I couldn’t help going back to the cabin photos and posting a few more of those.  I guess this makes it obvious where I would rather be right now…

Views from the dock (the rebuilt and newly fabulous dock, by the way – great construction job Dad!)…

And the all-important pre-dinner cocktail hour on the deck:

We had a new addition to the cabin crew this summer…my super cute, super sweet new second cousin:

Tom Petty rocks!

But I don't have any pictures of it.  Because I seem to have lost the cable to charge my camera...so even when I remember to bring it on one of our fun, photo-worthy summer advertures it's worthless.  Luckily I have been a very bad blogger for months, so even though I don't have photos of the Tom Petty concert, our elegant (not) motel in Ellensburg (Tom Petty + rodeo = little vacancy in the area), or our lovely hike on Sunday morning I do have photos of other things we've done this summer.  For example:
 
Cabin 018
A panoramic photo I took from our dock at the cabin.  I realized before I went up to the cabin for the 4th that the only photos I have of it are in paper form...so they must be pretty old.  The camera must have still had some charge in it (leftover from Norway I guess) and I got a few good pics of the lake to update my collection of "photos I gaze at while stuck indoors working".
 
Cabin 030
When mom and dad came for a visit in mid July we headed to North Bend for breakfast at the famous Twin Peaks cafe ("great cuppa joe") and a hike (to work off the huge plates of food!).  Here's dad admiring the view from the top.  And all three of us celebrating a successful climb:
 
Cabin 034
 
And finally, a few weeks ago I took Jadyn camping and we took a little hike along the river.  It took all her willpower not knock over that stack of rocks..but I just couldn't bear to watch someone's hard work go to waste, so I begged for her leave it alone...
Cabin 071
 
So yes, I have had a very photo-worthy summer.  Though you wouldn't know it from my inability to blog about it.

Our trip to Norway

I just uploaded the pictures from our trip to Norway in a photo album titled Norway.  Take a look!  Thanks again to Liv and Runar for hosting us and inviting us to their wonderful wedding - we had such a great time!

Beware of Bob

Yes, I've been scarce on the blog...it's been a busy stretch.
A few weeks back Scotty and I took a little Sunday trip to Snoqualmie to hike at the falls.  It was something of a pilgrimage since we were both big Twin Peaks fans back in the day.  The view of the falls (from the right angle) still looks like it did in the show, and every time I would look at it I heard the eerie music... A few pics, which aren't of the highest quality because of course I forgot to take my camera:

My commute

There are a lot of things I dislike about my commute.  But a few weeks ago I saw a bald eagle as I made my way along Lake Washington Blvd and that was pretty cool.

In the words of Cookie Monster

It's going to be a really busy week with little time to blog, so I'm redirecting you to Cookie Monster as a stand in since his words not only express my inner pain but also make me laugh until I just about wet my pants.
