Not That Hardy
Look closely.
No, no, you have to look closer than that. Did you just see a waterfall with what appears to be a huge pumpkin sitting at the top? (It’s some sort of buoy, really.) Look at the far right, near the wall, where the water just starts to come down the second tier? Do you see him? Huge Mr. Salmon, jumping for his life? There were tons of them. The kids loved this – they were entranced and we finally had to pull them away before we all froze to death.
This was the beautiful scene the other way – it’s an old fishing village that dates to the 1850’s. The salmon were swimming through here, headed towards the falls.
And I couldn’t help but wonder how darn cold these people must get in the winter. Brrr! It’s a gorgeous setting, but once again reminds me that I am so glad to have not been a pioneer. I’m hardy, people, but not that hardy.
Happy Monday!
Okay, So Pop Culture’s Not My Strong Suit
Me: No way. She’s not a lesbian. She’s just trying it out because she’s in Hollywood.
Me: Remind me again, which one is Lindsay Lohan?
Him: She’s that actress; that one in Mean Girls.
Me: Oh! Was she the nice girl? Really? That’s Lindsay Lohan? Lindsay Lohan was the nice girl? Are you sure?
Him: Yep.
Me: How? How are you sure? You didn’t even see Mean Girls. How do you know she was the nice girl?
Him: I know a lot about pop culture. I don’t have to have seen Mean Girls to know she played the nice girl.
Me: Huh, really. Because I saw Mean Girls, and I didn’t know. A lesbian. Okay, sure I buy that. But I still don’t know how you knew she was in Mean Girls.
Him: Honey, don’t enter a pop culture contest anytime soon.
