The weird people in the area that I live!

I had nothing really better to write about and my wife said to write about the weird people here in Skowhegan, Cornville, and surrounding area. I remember the first couple of days when we moved here it was the end of July so it was rather hot. We were driving back home one night because we were out looking at the town of Skowhegan and I looked over to my right and saw and somewhat bigger young lady running down the sidewalk with no shoes and just a bikini bouncing along. Tami and I looked at each other and said to each other, "What a strange town". That evening we also say lots of people in RV's camping out in the Walmart parking lot. We had never seen that before where we came from. It would have been just one thing that they were just staying there to put the night in before heading out the next day but they were actually camping there. They had the ol' lawn chairs set out, the barbeque a 'quin' and the beer already flowing.
The next week I was in the vehicle again taking a kid for a swim at a local lake and we wandered out way into a small town called Canaan and I think that they are stranger then biblical proportions as well. We stopped at a convenience store and I waited in the van. There were ladies walking in with mohawks, ladies mullets, shaved heads, really greasy hair and anything you can think of it they got it type of deal. A couple of men walked into the store with their heads completely shaved all but a weird silly smally pony tail in an elastic on the back of their heads.
But I should say....we have met some wonderful people here along with the strange wacko ones as well.

The Camp -- Phase II

The camp has been on my mind again and the dream of making the camp larger is in the process! Last Saturday, Pete and I were out to put the door back on the hinges. We found that someone stole the camp wood stove and animals have been in the camp and did some damage.

The plans are to add on another room. We really don't know what size it will be. Whatever happens, happens. I hope either to maybe build a stone fireplace of find a FREE wood stove again.
All in all, I love working on something with my friends and enjoying the camp fires.
Soon I plan to have pictures of the process!

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (Wii) Video Review

Wii Wii

This is an amazing system!
Believe it or not, we have been sore, after playing Wii Sports. The movements you have to do are fun and interactive. We love to make fun at one another playing because sometimes you look so silly playing. Over all the Wii is fun tp play for anyone!

Zelda: Twilight Princess

This game is awesome! We love the game. The graphics and the details that are put in the game are great. We can play this game for hours.
The story line and cut scenes are good.
Matt really likes it when he is transformed by the dark spirits. At this point he is a wolf. When your a wolf you have different attacks and tools to help you get through the game. He likes when the wolf does the leap and bite attack.
I personally like being the human with the sword, and waving the controllers around! Also riding the horse and fighting the dark creatures.

I'm Bloging

Well, thanks to Amy for putting her blog address up on her msn messenger name. I'm now blogging myself. It is addictive to wonder if someone has posted any thing on there site. Especially, when it comes to newborns!

Well, here is an update for those who still don't know what we are doing with our lives.
Matt and I are living in CORNVILLE, MAINE, of the US of A. I never thought that their would be a day where I would move to the states, but I did and I like it. Mind you some people are very weird here. But that is another story.
We are working for the Spurwink school. Which works with mental health kids that need help. And that is where Matt and I come in. We are like foster parents to these kids, but we do a lot more. Most of the kids have had a ruff start in live.
It is really say to read there stories, but it is great when you see them grow and get better, so they can leave the program.
I love my job. It is like I'm a full time mom. Some days are ruff and ya think that your not being paid enough and other days ya can't believe someone would pay you for having so much fun.
But this job ends january 2nd 2008. This is the date when our visas run out. That day is going to be very sad.
Well that is it. This is the end of my first blog.
