Blog, I have neglected thee...

I'm so sorry, o loyal readers of my blog, for not taking the time to post all the great stuff I've stumbled upon this summer. Actually, a lot of what I haven't posted really has to do with my laziness in hooking my phone up to my computer and transferring pictures. That project is now done, however, so I can share this bounty with you. Let's recap, shall we?



This is actually from way back in January when we had the "THE GREAT SNOWFALL OF 2009" (we might have had all of three inches). I had never seen a double-decker school closing runner before. They are serious here about their snow.



This we saw in a parking lot not too long ago. Yeah, it's a little antiquated, but it's still funny.



A while back, we met for lunch at a restaurant downtown called "Saffron." It is a cute little Greek bistro (is there such a thing?) and they have several items on their menu that are vegan-friendly. But the next time I need to have something professionally printed, remind me not to hire the folks who did their menu: It's a little blurry, but notice "Greek Pasta Slald."

Patrons can also enjoy the Kudzu Corner, which comes in a "Spinach warp."



Another restaurant we discovered was the "Mellow Mushroom," which is a locally owned chain of pizza places (plus tons of other great items) that celebrates the 60's. Not the raw, gritty aspect so much as the fun, wacky, psychedelic aspect. I caught this sign in my search for the potty.



The "Grease" DVD came in a little leather jacket. What more is there to say? And the back has the "T-Bird" sign printed on it. I bought it right away.



The mall was really cold that day.



You know that children's book "Walter, the Farting Dog?" Well, there he is, the live-action figure.

He farts when you squeeze his belly.



And finally, I walked into church get some organ practicing done a couple of days ago, and I took a little time to check the information kiosk to see what new things might be going on in the life of the church.
Thank the Lord! What would the Lutheran Church be without a small contingent of concealed weapon permit holders standing by?
