I love being a mom and I love my job, but I admit it: I would fish for a living if I could! HA!

Crazy Critter Found On Beach — Have You Ever Seen a Sea Creature In Washington?
In Indonesia a huge sea creature was found washed up onshore. The locals there described it as being 50 feet long -- with tusks! Honestly, we really don't know about everything that is under us in the ocean. It is remarkable to me the things we see. No wonder there are so many legends of crazy creatures like "Nessy," Scotland's Loc Ness monster.

Things I Look For at a Yard Sale — Music, Books and Cool Stuff
Sometimes I love to go to a yard sale. You can really find some good stuff. It seems like every yard sale I go to in the Yakima Valley always has a huge amount of clothes. It is very rare that I will buy clothes from a yard sale. It has to be really good clothes -- like a leather jacket, boots that I can clean or vintage clothing for fun.

Frozen Beer Looks Pretty Cool
I can drink all kinds of beer, but I admit it, the cheap beer is always the best! I bought a 12-pack of Busch last Wednesday. If I drink beer during the week, I am not very happy the next day, so I always wait until Friday or even Saturday night to have a beer.

I was headed up Summitview Avenue and enjoying a beautiful Sunday afternoon. The traffic was pretty good and the weather was really nice. Everyone was out hiking or fishing or just having some fun. Sometimes, though, the most fun in Yakima is watching everyone else have fun. I saw some pretty cool sights just driving around. One left me wondering why I sold some of the old cars I've had.
