The Thumb Trip!


This reminds me of home... There is one almost just like it right outside Bloomington, on Route 9...


A huge Christmas store in Frankenmuth, MI, it's open year round *gags*


You see, I drove through Frankenmuth on my way to M-25 to go around the thumb, and it is actually a cool town! I wanna go there for some weekend...


This seemed to be a restaurant, kinda cool by the looks of it!


There are a lot of really cool looking buildings in Frankenmuth, so I took a lot of pictures out the window...


This was a hotel, a HOTEL, how cool looking is that???


This was a street in Bay City, I took it, because it's green, and that stunned me!


Here was a little "Roadside Park" pretty much the smalltown equivalent of a rest stop, it was kinda cool... but I had to go pee and didn't have any hand sanitizer... ewwww


Yeah... there is a picture of the sign...


Ok, I found this kinda cool little inlet where they had a public access area, and they had an abundance of flowering trees there, gorgeous!!!! OMWORD! They were so cool! This is a zoomout of some of them!


Here is a zoom in on some of the trees I was just in awe...


Another flowering tree... amazing!


Here was the view from that area... it is kinda cool :-)


Here was a view of the cattails, they were kinda cool...


I have a thing for flowering trees....


I want to come back here sometime in the summer with the gang... it was too cool!


Ok, all of a sudden, I was driving down M-25, and BAM all these old cars started driving by, it was cool, but I didn't get many good shots of them...


Here is an alright one... it was hard to get them though..


BIRCHES! I haven't seen this many birches in a long time, I love them... ours used to be so beautiful in our backyard, unfortunately now it's dying :-(


I stopped by this marina, and that was kinda cool...


I like this view, because it kind of shows how the coastline around there is... it is very shallow, and there are random rocks sitting out there...


There was a power station right accross the water from it too...


This was taken from a little area on the eastern side of the thumb... rather cool :-) had an amazing view, perhaps the best of my trip!

6th and 7th Week Radio Pictures


Never thought you'd see Scott get his hands dirty, did you???


He is "swabbing the deck" in preparation for taping the carpet down!


This is the cast of the show Jack Frost (minus Dave, who actually likes country o.0)


From the left, this is Dave, our cheif engineer, and Al Davis, one of our Advisory Board Members.


Johnny Fontaine from the Jack Frost Show, him and I agree, Nelly is hott garbage!


Here is the mighty Jack Frost... and his views on Nelly are much less agreeable...


Here is Linda Peirce from the show "Something Else" Which airs on Sundays from 6-8 pm.


The door to the studio...


The pawprint of quite possibly the largest, coolest mascot ever... the bull dog...


Here is Bill White, who does the Jazz Cafe every Monday from 11am - 4pm.


Here is Diane Vyvyan, our General Manager.

The Landscape of Kettering


The courtyard of the dorms... it's actually kinda beautiful in the spring!


Here is the row that leads to the beach... omword, it is so gorgeous, I am going to have to spend more time sitting out there this summer!


This looks out onto what I suppose you could call our "Quad" even though it's not really one. It is a nice green area, kinda cool...


More of that little row of flowering trees, absolutely stunning!


Those flowers... up close!


Here are the hostas in the middle of the trees... cool, eh?


More of my favorite trees :-)


More of the blossoms!

Mike


Mike... what can we say about Mike... I still can't figure out how on earth he can comfortably lay like that... he looks like he's practically bent in half!

Weekend Trip Home


This is my Mom and I. I love her to death, omword! She is so cool!


This is my baby momma Kristin... She is such a great girl, she's one of the people who actually cares about me and tries to find out how I'm doing. Unfortunately, she can't call much, because she doesn't have the minutes. However, I can tell she actually does care.


This is Nate and Joshua... Joshua is Kristin (my baby momma)'s little brother, and I swear! Every time I come home, he runs up to me and gives me a big hug and tells me how much he missed me!


This is my family... from the left, Ben (little brother), Grandma Moreland (Mom's Mom), Tim (my dad), and Grams (Dad's Mom).


This is Sheba, my most beloved dog. She is the most awesome dog anyone could ever ask for... unfortunately, she's nearly 14 years old, and I don't know how much longer she is going to last.


Here are two of my favorite ladies! To the left is Rozel, she is an absolutely wonderful lady, and then to the right is Linda. They both are so cool! Linda actually came up to see me last term :-)


The is the front of my house... I'll probably take more pictures of my house before I leave, but it's fairly large as you can tell...


This is a really cute little squirrel taking a drink from our pond! Omword, it was so cool :D he kept comming up and drinking out of it! And in this particular picture, he looks like his eyes are made out of fire, how cool is that!


This is me and Mrs. Pummil, she is so cool!!!


This is the pond! It's awesome! My dad installed it a few years ago, completely homemade and the waterfall is so cool!


This is Noel, my god-sister! She is really fun, and is won the state cuisine championship!


Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful Sheba. I swear, she has been the best friend I've ever had... been with me through thick and thin, and always been loyal and loving! I can't tell you the number of times I've just hugged her and cried myself to sleep right next to her, or how many times when I've been sick she's come up and just rested her head on me comforting me! I love her!!!


I love lilly of the valley... it reminds me of the simplicity of life!


These are two of the plants I found last year while I was preparing the backyard for Prom, and fell in love! So we bought four and planted them out by the pond, unfortunately, only two survived...


This is a closeup of that really cool plant that I found last year at the garden shop.


Here is one of my students throughout the years, from both Sunday School (I taught Sunday School for 6 years) and Ministerial Excellence Christian Academy, where I worked last work term... His name is Eric, or as many people call him, EJ, and he's cool!


Here is a closer picture of my Grandmother (left), Dad (middle), and Grams (right)... they were all sitting in the first floor living room talking!


From the left... My Uncle John (Dad's younger brother), and my own little brother! Ben is so cool, but he can be a dork!


Here is my Grandfather (Mom's Dad)


Grams and Sheba! They were walking towards me out to the pond in the back yard!


Here is my Grams and my Sheba! The darned dog has this thing about sniffing feet... I think she has a foot fettish!


This is a view of my front yard... all of it... we claim the gigantic park accross the street as part of our front yard... next time I'm down, I am going to walk around over there and take pictures of it!
