People on our balcony

People on our balcony. See? We have year-round rope lights. Here's Erin & Tylor on my 25th birthday.



Katie, Megan, Jon, Erin & Tylor, 25th birthday, again


Me and Megan, same birthday. See the rum on the cooler? That would explain the tongue.



Danny and his "boyfriend" Jim. Ok, so we took a lot of pictures on the balcony that night and not a whole lot since...(by the way if you're wondering, I'm 28 now. So that gives you an idea of how old these are. I'll be 29 in August) You'd be able to see that Danny and Jim have a redheaded guy connection, but it's in black and white. Could you tell?


Emma & Charlie Roller, Mother's Day 2007. Doesn't Charlie look like a younger, smart-aleck version of Mr. Joe Anderson? I think so...

Scenic Balcony

This was taken in the fall.

Obviously these are pictures taken in the winter; I'm just not sure which winter. Does it matter? I think not.

Balcony 2

This is the same thing. It's longer. And it's kind of more...dizzy inducing. But you get to see the view from our balcony!
I was walking around kind of mumbling, but I was saying that we have no cicadas on our balcony, so I can't show any, and then I looked down and said, "I wonder if you can see them on the ground", but no, because our camera doesn't have zoom. (It's a digital camera that has a stupid video feature.) Then I went to the other side of the balcony to see if there were any cicadas lying around, and nope, there were none. Beyond the trees is our small lake. It doesn't have a cool name. It's just the lake. And the cat on the video is Jasper.
We had just expected to see more...well any cicadas since we live in a wooded area and the trees have been there more than 20 years (17 is the magic number). We saw 2 mating in the parking lot. It was really cool, and I took a picture with my cell phone, and it wasn't that great, so it's not here. I don't even know where it is. It's on my old cell phone, I guess. But I digress...

Our Balcony

Caution: you may feel like you've got motion sickness....it's a crummy camera. This is me walking around on our balcony, trying to give the viewer to get an idea of what it sounded like on June 5, 2006 with the really loud cicadas. But unfortunately, the camera sucks. It just sounds like the sound is bad, but it's really the cicadas. It's too bad, because they were really loud everyday when I came home for lunch, and it just didn't come across that way.
