We Are Honored to Host Christmas

Just one thing about the vote!!!!! Just family members were to vote right....a closer look at one of the pictures shows someone next to Mandy that does not appear to be family with his hand up maybe he is just itching his arm pit,,HUM

Sink Hole Party

Sorry to take so long to fill you in, but we had a great time at the Sink Hole Party. A big THANK YOU to Kirby and Melissa for opening their home to all of us. We had lots of great food and enjoyed seeing each other. Here are just a few pictures of our day. Flying a kite...
Fishing....
Kirby even let the kids dig a hole with the excavator!
All in all it was a great day, wish more had been able to come, we missed you there. As promised, we talked about plans for the holidays. We decided to still have both Thanksgiving and Christmas. And instead of having our Christmas party on Christmas Day, we will have it the following Saturday so that we have a little more time with our immediate familes on the 25th. The other thing we discussed was where we would have the get togethers, the church or someone's house. Some stated that they do not like the church as a gathering place and suggested that we go back to having them at a family members home. Kevin and Jan have offered to host Thanksgiving at their house. So that left Christmas.....and no one really jumped in....and then someone suggested the Bender's home. We thought the only real way to decide was to take a vote.

All those in favor.....

To be fair, we had to let everyone vote....

All those opposed?

....seems as though the "yea's" have it....thanks Benders!

See you at the holidays!

ATTENTION COMMANDER RANGER RICK

As per our conversation by land line i hope this picture of your black bear is better then the one Steven sent you..you must remember that this picture was taken at night but i think you can see his eyes top middle..

SUPREME COMMANDER BOB

Marshal law lifted

After a lot of investigation it was obvious that all the grotnes' were guilty of having some part in the red pop caper including judge normie..there for i decided to lift the marshal law and open the borders

Closer to solving the red pop caper

Doing some investigation i found that the hideous picture of a helpless can of red pop being help captive was not email but part of a personnel collect under the file name of (valhalla+kids+vacation+031.jpg). taken my no other than Sara. time to give it up.

As for the finger pointing from the blimp when you point your finger at me you have three pointing back at you. You sir are not above suspicion


Supreme Ruler Bob

Supreme Ruler BOB is the one with the hidden stash of the red nectar

It appears that the barrel of the gun may be big enough to load red pop into and shoot up to Steve's house as we all know that Supreme Ruler BOB is the one with the hidden stash of the red nectar that is so coveted. Kinda hard to get to the bottom of a crime when the top suspect is the one doing the investigation. Sounds like there may be some form of graff in the midst of Valhalla. As for Steve throwing me into the lake Sara said she would protect me and take the plunge instead. And I can fight pretty good for a five foot one, 475 lb droopy eyed slobberer. Bring it.

Marshal Law Declared at Valhalla

With much regret i have decided to declare myself ruler of the property call Valhalla. Their has been many thing going on and the only way to get it stopped is to close the borders of Valhalla to all incoming and outgoing traffic . First of all i intend to get to the bottom of the missing red pop and by locking down Valhalla i should be able to find the perpetrator of this dastardly deed.

Supreme Ruler BOB

Red Pop Ransom

Just wanted to post this as soon as possible as Steve was visibly upset the day we left as to the whereabouts of his Red Pop. Earlier today I received an email with the posted picture included in the email. The sender asked that their name not be released for safety reasons. However it appears that the pop is in plain sight if you are looking in the right place. Best of luck Steve in your search for the elusive carbonated bliss in which you so feverishly seek.

Attention Stephen Grotnes

Kirby needs your email address.

FIRST ANNUAL VALHALLA CORNHOLE OPEN

The first annual cornhole tournament was held Friday at noon with 8 teams competing for the coveted Cornhole trophy and title of champion...Bobbie Bender and team mate Alex Roepke dominated the tournament and took the first title of champs for 2008. Trophy was presented by tournament director Patrolman Bob

IMPEACH THE CONSTABLE

I've been away from the blog for quite a while, wasn't aware of the legal wrangling going on in the north country. But after reading up on the situation, it seems to me that the accused Mr. Hawk has been unjustly charged, tried, and convicted, and that the accuser, Constable Bennie, is equally as guilty, not only of cricket smuggling, but also with taking bribes and jury-tampering. Obviously he should be required to stand before the bar of justice and be judged by a jury of his peers.

I have scoured the internet and can find no mention of any statute of limitations on cricket smuggling or transportation of same across state lines. Therefore, if one is guilty, all are guilty. I call for the immediate filing of charges against Constable Bennie for his prior offense, and the more recent bribery and jury-tampering activity. It is obvious that there is at least one witness to each of these heinous crimes.

We cannot just look the other way, people. It is obvious that law enforcement at Valhalla has been placed in the wrong hands. This miscarriage of justice must be corrected.

IMPEACH CONSTABLE BENNIE! IT MUST BE DONE, BEFORE OTHER INNOCENT PEOPLE ARE VICTIMIZED BY THIS MEGALOMANIAC!!

Kirby, Head's up!!

Hey, Kirby, I'm trying to send you photos from the SinkHole party, but your mailbox is full, everything is bouncing back.

Tom

Head Count Needed

One more thing, Cody wanted me to mention he has 6 male AKC registered black lab puppies up for sale, they are extremely cute and are about 2 months old. Come on, you know you want one!!

SINK HOLE REMINDER, THIS COMING SATURDAY!!!!!!!!!

JUDGEMENT AT VALHALLA

t These or the official mug shot of inmate crow, next is the large crowd gathered outside of judge nomie house protesting the incaricated of Mr crow,the trial of Mr crow in which judgement was pasted,,last picture is where mr crow in doing one hour of communal service under the watchful eye of Patrolman Bob

Here comes de judge- here come de judge-

I think there is going to be a trial now that we have a hung "online" jury...hopefully there will be mercy for the poor defendent and at the same time remember that we have shore patrol persons to make everyone safe...please support your local flaw enforcement. You read the data from Chris about the bullfrogs and who knows what could happen if too many crickets escape.

Respectfully submitted,
tamie

HaHaHaHaHaHaHaHa

All that and after all is said and done, it's a hung jury!
