Red Eared Slider

2 comments Posted by Kevin & Karen O'Dell at 9:48 PM

I have had my Red Eared Slider turtle for YEARS now. I bought him at the size of a quarter when I first moved here because I was lonely and I thought it would be a cute & easy pet to take care of. I was so wrong.

Carl the turtle is now probably 8 years old. He eats all spring/summer long and then starts to hibernate fall thru winter. He just recently started eating again so i thoght I would take a pic with the cell phone since he isn't trying to sleep.

Tonight I also thought to look up some facts on my turtle and I am amazed to see that he has a life expectancy of 50 - 70 years ..... hmmmm can you imagine?

So, I know that it is not Bloggers fault for me to procrastinate even more than before, but I am. I think I have all of the pics posted up that I want to put on here so I am done searching for new ones. Right now I am going to my HILLS website to watch a new episode & work out. Yeah for me !!

Aunt Bonnie

1 comments Posted by Kevin & Karen O'Dell at 10:27 PM

My Aunt Bonnie passed away this evening. I hadn't seen or talked to her since she moved out to Oregon with my cousins.

It is sad to think how out of touch you become when there is a big distance between people, and we put others aside to move on with our own lives.

I wish I knew when it was that life became so complicated that it makes every moment feel like we are in survival mode, and we have no time to grieve or appreciate others moments.

I know that she is in a better place where she can live her life in her happiest moments.

Crocs - My New Fav Pair of Shoes

3 comments Posted by Kevin & Karen O'Dell at 12:02 PM

Yes, they are kind of ugly. I noticed EVERYONE is wearing these now so I bought myself some.

The first pair I wore were these :

"The Beach Crocs"

They are very comfortable but a little too goofy looking to be wearing at work all day.

I tried these the next day, & LOVE them !!

The Mammoth Crocs

They are so cozy & comfortable. I think because they are black they look better to wear out in public. I am totally addicted to CROCS. As we speak I am ordering theses:

The Cyprus Crocs

I will also be geeting ANOTHER pair of the Mammoth Crocs JUST because I LOVE them so much !!! I want to get a "sand" colored pair to wear in the .... sand.

Anyways if you are interested in Croc's they have a ton to choose from:

A Place to Share

I thought that a blog would be a much easier way to journal what we are up to. (Yes I am working on getting a better picture of Kevin)

If I keep this up it might turn out to be quite interesting.

So let's see ... as you all know we LOVE to go camping. We have a few trips planned for this year.

The one I am very excited about is to IDAHO where we will be going to the St. Anthony Sand Dunes http://www.duneguide.com/sand_dune_guide_st_anthony.htm

We will be camping here: http://desertoasisrvpark.com/index.php with full hook up's. I am so excited to start planning my meals and to get my bags packed. We aren't going out there until July so I have a lot of time to plan, but like anything else I am sure time will go by fast.

I LOVE camping in Pismo on the beach, and we plan to go there alot this summer also. Our first trip to PISMO will be Memorial Day Weekend.
