Seven Years and a Day.

Celebrating seven years of capture.

As mentioned in the previous post,   Yesterday was the 4th of July.   (Just in case anyone did not know that.)  In addition to that fact,  I also mentioned that we have been in Iowa for over 7 years now.  (7 Years and one day to be exact!)  But this is not about that.

Cheryl and Ethan in Iowa.  I think the picture says it all...

This posting is about the fireworks last night.   You see, I think Iowa celebrates our capture every year with fireworks.  It makes sense.   We are highly valuable human beings after all. (At least to ourselves anyway...)  And although I am not particularly fond of being an Iowa captive,  I can at least respect that they value my presence here...  More so than in Michigan anyway.

At least they know we are valuable.

But mostly I wanted to post the pictures of last nights celebration...  the celebration of Cheryl and Ethan coming to Iowa.   On my new Motorola camera/phone.  ( Seriously!  It is a camera with a phone attached.  Not the other way around.  I never use the phone.)  I used a program in addition to the one provided with the device to "animate our sad story." (Hetalia Reference)

In addition to the fireworks, I thought I would post some of the animations of Cheryl's race yesterday.  Enjoy!

Three Elvises.  (One still on his way...From the Port-a-Jon) 

Cheryl is in there somewhere.... If you can find her,  you're better than me. 

Masked Patriot running with Flags.  He also doubles as a WWF Wrestler.  I was thinking "Flag Man" Or "The Patriot!"

Origami X-Wing, B-Wing, and Tie Fighter

I was quite happy with the way the Star Wars Origami Turned out....I didn't have time to complete the Yoda or the A-Wing or Y-Wing fighters, but there is still this weekend. The X-Wing was a big hit and got snagged right away...so I had to make another one for the lady who requested it. I have a few more requests this week and a purchased a couple of new books that I can play around with in the future. I should really blog more so I can get more traffic. It appears that I have been losing followers lately because I do not post everyday like before. Well, with the 4th right around the corner, I'm not sure what Cheryl and I will be doing. The 4th of July will mark the one year anniversary of moving to Iowa. I can't believe it has been a full year already! I'll have to add to that thought when I have more time. Hope everyone has a great weekend grilling dogs and watching the parades!
