Something about this REALLY stinks! Okay, that was bad but this is worse.

Peeping Tom Pulled From Outhouse Tank Tue Jun 28, 6:38 PM ET

ALBANY, N.H. - A 45-year-old man was arrested after a teenage girl found him staring at her from below an outhouse seat, police said. Police said they pulled Gary Moody, from Gardiner, Maine, from the waste tank under a log cabin outhouse on Monday.

"We had to decontaminate him," said Capt. Jon Hebert of the Carroll County Sheriff's Department, adding that firefighters hosed the man down before police handcuffed him. "We treated him as if he were hazardous material," Hebert said.

Moody was charged with criminal trespass. Hebert said he could face more charges.

Moody was freed on bail for a July 19 appearance in Northern Carroll County District Court in North Conway.

Sick! Sick! People in this world!

I've been holding back. We have spent the last two months planning a big SURPRISE shindig for my mother-in-law's retirement party and I haven't been able to say anything on here cause I know that she stops by to read it once in awhile.

But it went off without a hitch. There was all kinds of food, drink, music and alot of her work people from the last 25 years at the Paradise Valley School District. AND SHE WAS TOTALLY SURPRISED! But she didn't cry, and for her that is a miracle.

With my mad Photoshop skills I made her a "YEARSBOOK" that consisted of 25 years of pictures of all the years she worked for the school system. Loaded with her pictures from the yearbooks, starting in 1981. Boy did she change! Then everyone signed it, just like we always did on the last few days of school.

We, of course, overbought on the food so I don't have to cook for a week with all the cold cuts and cheese and chips etc etc left over.

Now maybe my posting will be alittle more regular.

Okay, maybe not, but I am trying.

Yep, that's right! I think my antiperspirant is broken. It sure isn't making my underarms all dry and pretty smelling.

The temperature here in sunny AZ was only suppose to be 107 but it sure felt hotter. I checked the weather page and it said

Current temperature: 107
Feels like: 99

Have these people not stepped outside? It feels more like 120 to me. And to think we are only at the beginning of summer.

Gotta love Arizona!

Of course, on Father's day, FATHERS get to do what they want.

This is what FATHERS at our house do when they have too much time on thier hands.

Take one picture of trash can.

Add one picture of baby being held in front of a upside down box with Grandpa holding her up and Daddy holding her ankles.

Okay! Can you see where this is going?

I'm not so sure!

Neverland is again open for business!

I am jones*ing to do laundry.

I got my new washer/dryer at 10am and can't wait to do my first load.
You see, here in the sunny hot state of Arizona we are on an electricity progam. You are to use your big appliances (washer/dryer - dishwasher - air conditioning - oven) between the hours of 9pm and 9am to conserve. Oh, you can use anything appiance ANYTIME but you get zapped on your utility bill. And since I have to use my air and oven during the no no hours, I do my best to use the "other appliances" after 9pm and before 9am.

So I wait! And WAIT!

I never thought I would be so excited to do laundry.

UPDATE!
First load was awesome. We spent most of the 45 mins watching it tumble and squirt and drain. We had to turn the fan off in the laundry room to make sure the sucker was actually running. Then we had to get a flashlight to shine into the window because we still weren't sure. Oh so quite.

I think I may LIKE doing laundry now. :)

Isn't that the most precious thing you have seen in awhile?

Check out the dog - checking out the baby! (right side of the picture)

Have you ever noticed that once something starts it snowballs? This time I am NOT taking about my laundry room (which by the way is coming along great, Pictures at 10)

I am talking about BABIES!

Kaylin is just about to turn 4 months in the next week. When she turns 11 months she is going to have a cousin.

I AM GOING TO BE A GRANDMA AGAIN!

My oldest son and daughter-in-law are going to be the proud parents this time.

I even have "its" first picture.

Look see.

I decided that I couldn't bring my brand new spiffy washer and dryer into the old shabby dirty laundry room. So I set aside today to make it a room that they (the washer and dryer) would be proud to live in.

A new coat of paint would be nice. As I was painting the second wall, I notice a crack in the old paint. So I picked it. Well, I shouldn't have done that! You see the reason for that small crack was an old termite tunnel.

Yes, we HAD termites. Most houses in Arizona have to deal with them at one time or another. You see, these termites like to make their tunnels between the paint and the wallboard. Clever little devils that they are. That way the damage isn't as noticable until the house falls down.

We DON'T have termites now. Let me make that perfectly clear. These were old dried up tunnels. But the damage is still the same. But I digress.

So as I am poking at the wall, I am finding more and more tunnels. Of course, this causes more and more holes in the paint. By the time I am done poking,
