I've been driving a huge Ford Freestar, so this is itsy bitsy to me. When you open the tiny hood, the engine says VVT1. I believe this stands for Very, Very Tiny One. :o}

dog park
I've never been to a dog park....Sounds like Cedric had a great time. Thanks for sharing the trail pic with you and the kids...that was precious, so peaceful....looks kinda like my backyard (a wilderness preserve).
You're a great dog mommy!... Cat
I would park nearby
Where you would not be suspicious and wait for someone coming out with a bank deposit bag. I'd follow them when they took it to the bank.
Is there a local park with tables to have it at?

Well because you can take the girl out of the trailer park
but you can't take the trailer park out of the girl ;)
Sunday walk in the park
DH and I were walking the dogs in a small park yesterday and a reddish bird swooped in front of us. It was the same color as a thrasher, but since he landed on a nearby tree limb I stopped to check. It was a tiny owl. Apparently an Eastern screech owl. They are common yet rarely noticed, so we thought it was really neat. The dogs never reacted to him at all, and the owl seemed as curious about us as we were about him. Our faces were maybe 4 feet from him.
OMG - I just saw your post, Hyde Park NY
Your post just reminded me of how my mother used to take me to the Vanderbilt Mansion and FDR's home both in Hyde Park, NY ALL THE TIME when I was growing up. I did a couple of book reports on FDR too.
I didn't care for the golden-looking Vanderbilt Mansion (hey, I was a kid...*lol*) but I loved FDR's home. I remember the leash of Fala (his dog) laying across his bed...I had to be 6 to 14 years old when these trips occurred. Mother also then took me to the Catskill Game Farm where we fed animals and I don't think many were caged, or my memory is failing on that.
Just brought back my past and where I grew up...... Thanks for that!!
And now I'm turning on my TIVO'd Anderson Cooper *grins*....for those who might not know, Gloria Vanderbilt is Anderson's Mom.....
Cedric's first trip to the dog park
We had no idea how Cedric would do at the dog park, but his play with Sasha in our own backyard has been quite boisterous, and I wanted him to try playing with younger dogs. We brought him in and all he wanted to do was smell the fragrances around the gate. He looked alarmed to see other dogs roaming around. We could not coax him away from the gate, and finally DH leashed him up and walked him all around the inside perimeter and ended up on the far side. At this point he started cautiously sniffing actual dogs, and before long he was willing to romp a little as long as it was just one dog at a time. He did a little running and was having a great time, even when just watching a big pack of dogs running. You could see how he was learning all about interacting with dogs and playing with balls. At the very end it occurred to him there were also people to meet, but it was getting dark and Sasha wanted to walk the park path, so we did that. Cedric liked that too, but at first when he saw the tennis players whacking stuff with rackets, it confused him.
Then we got some food and gave the dogs their tiny bites, which is always a treat for them.
When we got home, Cedric climbed all over DH to show his appreciation, and today he has been lying at his feet. Plus, he has a new appreciation for a tennis ball we have, and when he got up on the couch with me, he chewed on that instead of me.
A very good activity for Cedric.
I'll join you in Jurassic Park!
I'm a dinosaur, too. I don't see the need for teenagers to have their own cars. But, my eldest did inherit his grandfather's sturdy little car. He was nearly 18 when that happened, and his high school was in the next county. For the last six months of school, he skipped the hour-long bus ride and was able to drive to school and save about 40 minutes in his commute to school. He drove on the days he needed to be home to work after school at a movie theater, about 12 hours a week. He was also a great help to me in driving his younger brothers to events when my schedule was over-booked.
I have friends who gift their children brand new, expensive cars at the age of 16, and I just don't understand that. The kids seem to be using the vehicles to further their social lives, and they certainly aren't paying attention to the road. And you are very correct about so many angry and distracted drivers on the road. It's a scary thing to put a teenager on the road alone. This is why we raised the age level to 17 in our home, even though the Commonwealth of PA seems to think that 16-1/2 is age appropriate for driving.
What a lovely idea. I can do this at a park that she and I both took my children to when they were
!
your Trailer Park attitude is probably not helping

Whenever I watch one of the Jurassic Park movies,
velociraptors. But mostly T-rexes. The weird part is, I and the people I'm with in the dream aren't really AFRAID of it, but it's presence is an almost-daily ANNOYANCE that we have to take cover from as the dinosaur passes by. In one dream, right in the middle of some sort of fun activity, "Dang! The Rex is coming!" and we all ended up hiding in a bunker of some kind 'til it went away.
care for the handicap person who tries to park there. Ask her why she uses the tag.

I live in condo and go to park to grill out. SM
I use an automatic lighter, but the thing stinks. It's just a cheapie thing, maybe they all are. Are there any better lighters out there? I'm not taking Sharper Image, but just something better you might use to light candles, start a fire or what not?
I'm sure I sound stupid. I'm not exactly Miss Handyperson. If anyone has any ideas, I would appreciate it. Or should I just go to Home Depot and try to find someone (which is the problem with that place) to help.
This has to be the dumbest question asked all day on this board, I know.
Britney = trailer park trash.........no message
There were a lot of albino deer in Shenandoah Natl Park.
I don't know if they are still a "problem". A while back, hunters were asked to specifically look for and thin them from the herds -- something to do with weakening the gene pool. I don't know anything about wildlife management, but I know that I've seen a good number of albino deer in SNP. It is exciting to see them!
they let the nudists play in the park and ride their bikes through town
