Do you noodle?

Because Gramma does!

Mom (April), Gramma (Marion), and I went over to Peanut Island for the afternoon. We had a wonderful time, and can’t wait to have a family picnic there! (You can also camp on the Island, and I’m thinking that it would be fun to get several of us there for a weekend. Anyone up for that?)

Anyway, while we were waiting for the water taxi to take us to the island, we met up with a group of young people who had already begun to empty their coolers. They laughingly offered us a noodle, probably figuring that none of us would even know what a noodle was. As far as mom and I went, they were correct. Gramma, however, totally blew them out of the water by taking them up on their offer. They ended up adopting Gramma, and we were invited to hang with them for the day.

Family Gathering CD

After almost a year, the photo CD of our first "Family Gathering" is finally finished! We had five six photographers, and over 1250 photos. It was really difficult, but I managed to get it down to just a 40 minute slide show. I want to thank everyone that helped -- you're all mentioned in the show's credits.

I'll be sending out emails and/or letters with your chance to get a copy of the CD. If you don't hear from me in the next two weeks, please feel free to just email or call me and ask for your copy. (I might not have current addresses for everyone).

Final Results for 3 Truths and A Fib

We ended up with six entries for this game, and the following people are official members of the Neuhaus Liar's Club: Charlie, Bobby, Kelly, April, Sam, and myself (Sandi).

Unfortunately, Bobby, Kelly, April and Sam are also members of the Neuhaus Procrastinator's Club, so we don't know what their fib was. So results were based only on the two three entries we had answers for (I know my mom's fib, so I went ahead and counted that.)

Nobody guessed correctly for my four items, which makes me the best fibber. Charlie was runner-up with only 1 out of 3 correctly guessing. April was 3rd with half of the guessers getting it right.

For best guesser, the results were: Kelly and I each had one right guess, which actually was enough to make us the winners. Charlie, Bobby, and Gail gave it a good try, but were unable to figure out when a fib was being told so they get the Trusting Soul award.

Maybe we'll have another contest later on this summer. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know.
