Family Reunion 1 of 2
Posted: August 7, 2008 Filed under: All's Well That Ends Well, Brothers Karamazov 1 CommentMy side of the family, in New Mexico this past June.
Dusty road to the cabin
Our dusty car when we arrived!
Incredible cabin my grandpa built from scratch
The Romgi and I after a sleepless night of driving
Me, unaware I'm in a picture
One of the rooms in the cabin
This is why I'm not a real photographer.
Two of the four horses my grandpa brought up to the cabin for the weekend
The outhouse still stands, even though there's a flushable toilet inside
Indian paintbrush (Castilleja angustifolia)
Did you know New Mexico was green?
We liked the orange and red in this shot.
Our Neon did not have a good time going on this rocky, rutted road.
A real fixer-upper

Goodbye, Chimney Rock!
Llama Fest!

The Sri Sri Radha Krishna Temple in Spanish Fork
Birthday girl
The llama who was fascinated with me
This llama was uninterested in doing the obstacle course, but did kneel down when his trainer told him to
Me being nervous about the llama
Beautiful detail on the temple
Awesome shot of my niece...raising the roof?
And finally, a video (courtesy of the Romgi) of the llama race in its entirety. Enjoy!
Happy Surprise
Posted: July 18, 2008 Filed under: All's Well That Ends Well 2 CommentsWell, we’ve made it almost to my birthday again. Some of us may have gotten here limping and bleeding (ok, not really, just exhausted and nauseated), but here we are. So how should we celebrate?
By going to the 14th Annual Llama Fest at the Sri Sri Radha Krishna Temple, of course.
True story! Tomorrow we’ll be heading to Spanish Fork to celebrate llamas, and to partake in some tasty Andean food and souvenirs. Yes, there will be pictures. You will see the llamas.
In the meantime, the Romgi gave me a present early. Usually if I get a present before an actual holiday it’s because I have begged, pleaded, bargained, and puppy-eyed my way into opening it days or even weeks early. But this time it wasn’t my idea! The Romgi told me that this present would be delivered to his work today, and that I couldn’t wait until my birthday to open it. Um…well, if you insist!
So aren’t you curious what it was?
It was the coolest thing in the world because it IS a world!
That’s right, the Romgi got me an ecosphere!!
See the cute little shrimp? They are already friends. And I’m hoping more algae will grow and the shrimp will multiply and replenish the earth (I mean, ecosphere). …Actually, it’s bad for there to be a lot more algae as it will kill the shrimp, and although the shrimp will live for about two years, they don’t reproduce. Oh well! Still seriously cool!!
