*Progress... Sometimes slower than you hope but glad it is still on track. (Kitchen Remodel Day 31, May 2017)*
Happy Mother’s Day to the mom of my kids. I am thankful everyday for all you do for our family and I know it isn’t easy. However, it has been fun so far, right? 🤣
Happy Mother’s Day to my amazing mom! Thanks as always for everything.
Graduate Boo 👻… #FacesofBoo
Catching the sunrise in the morning is always great.
Net Neutrality... Really Again?
Another great/ timely video on Last Week Tonight with John Oliver talking again about Net Neutrality. Wait, what? Didn’t he already make one of these?
Yes, you are correct and I included it below for you to watch again, but it is still serious. Equal access to online information is once again under serious threat by trying to come at it a different direction. So make sure you follow the instructions that he gave at the end of the video and voice your displeasure to the FCC by visiting www.gofccyourself.com and clicking “express” to file your comment.

The only path to reach East Quoddy Light is at low tide so you can walk out there, but be careful (July 2004, Campobello Island, NB, CA)
One of my favorite Light Houses to visit mostly because the hike out to the Light House has to be timed just right and you don’t want to get stuck on one of the islands along the way. Not to mention you can find lots of animals during that low tide that would otherwise be under sometimes 22 ft of water.
East Quoddy Light as the locals call it or Head Harbor Light Station as found on most maps (July 2004, Campobello Island, NB, CA)

Painting fun! @aprilgottwalker and I applying the first coat of ceiling paint.
Couldn’t have been more proud yesterday watching B run his first 400m dash. He went out strong and finished 2nd. When he finished he told me he was going to die, and I told him that means you ran it right. 😀
Waiting for B to start the 100m is bringing back memories of spending Saturday mornings at track meets in High School

Celebrating Easter and Birthdays with Family…
The Caballo Blanco Experience - Ryan Van Duzer
For anyone who has read the book Born to Run or enjoys running, in general, needs to check out this series of videos that Ryan Van Duzer put together of his trek down to run the Caballo Blanco Ultra Marathon earlier this year.
“You can’t feel pain if your smiling… right?” - Ryan Van Duzer
That was a perfect quote he had at the very beginning and was fitting since he was smiling during what appeared to be the last couple of miles at the end of the video. Honestly, being a runner myself, after watching this video I was ready to strap on my shoes and hit the trails.
Take note, not only is the feat of running 50 miles in a single time amazing but remember he did it all while carrying the video camera to capture this amazing event on film too. If you are looking to be motivated you should definitely check this video out.
Here is the entire playlist so you can start from the beginning and watch all 6 episodes.
Finally, as amazing as these videos are, Ryan has made a bunch of other amazing videos and I don’t see that stopping anytime soon so be sure Subscribe to his YouTube channel, and follow him on Instagram (you can also find him on Facebook, and Twitter).

*Our two really amazing pups, Tucker and PJ (March 2014)*
I shared this yesterday on Instagram but thought I would share it here as well. Our pups Tucker and PJ were our first kids before all the human ones came along. This picture was taken in March 2014 right after a haircut.
Swinging Boo 👻 enjoying the great weather that came back.
These two are looking sharp in this picture 😀 #NationalPetDay

Nothing like breaking in my new pair of ASICS shoes on a long run in warm foggy weather yesterday morning
