I won't have any time today, to go out & take some photography. I have a busy day ahead of me.

Last night, I had a dream of Aaron ♥, it felt so real. It was just amazing to see him.Makes me miss him even more, but I know I'll get to see him this year, hopefully.

Today is the official last day of Jan. Where did the month go??? At least spring is getting closer. I am tired of this cold cold weather.
Well, next week, I am going to get my hair done. I am going back to the place I went in early December. The ladies at this salon were so nice, so, it would be nice to chat with them again. I don't know what I am going to have done with my hair this time. I think I want some sort of change with it, but I am not sure what.
Maybe they have a suggestion.
Well, I need to go get ready for my busy day. I may post later.
Have a lovely day, my friends!

Frasier Pictures, Images and Photos

I Am Ready!!!

I am ready for a Breaking Ben show in St. Louie! Hopefully they will be at Pointfest in May! I am so there if they are going to be there!
St. Louis is Breaking Ben's second home. :)
Nothing like being at a sold out BB show. =)
You will need:
1/4 cup of water
1/3 cup of vegetable oil
2 eggs ( I used 3 for cake like brownies)

1.
Preheat oven on 350 for 15 mins.
Use a metal or a glass pan. Grease (or use cooking spray) bottom of pan.

2.
Stir brownies mix, pouch of Hershey's syrup, water, oil and eggs in a medium bowl until well blended. Spread in Pan.

3.
Bake at 350 for 50 - 60 mins or until toothpick or fork inserted 2 inches from side of pan comes out almost clean; cool. To cut warm brownies easily, cut with a plastic knife using short sawing motions. Store tightly covered.


Before it went in the oven.

After it was done.

We will be more than likely going to the top of the Arch this time.
It is only $10 to go to the top this year. It was $22 bucks last time.


#
The Arch is the tallest national monument in the United States at 630 feet; it is the city's best known landmark and a popular tourist attraction.
#
Construction began February 12, 1963 and the last section of the Arch was put into place on October 28, 1965.
#
The Arch is a structure known as a catenary curve, the shape a free-hanging chain takes when held at both ends, and considered the most structurally-sound arch shape. The span of the Arch legs at ground level is 630 feet, the same as its height.
#
Each year, approximately a million visitors ride the trams to the top of the Arch. The trams have been in operation for over 30 years, traveling a total of 250,000 miles and carrying over 25 million passengers.
#
The Arch weighs 17,246 tons. Nine hundred tons of stainless steel was used to build the Arch, more than any other project in history.
#
The Arch was built at a cost of $13 million. The transportation system was built at a cost of $3,500,000.

In order to ensure that the constructed legs would meet, the margin of error for failure was 1/64th of an inch. All survey work was done at night to eliminate distortion caused by the sun's rays. Since the Arch was constructed before the advent of computer technology, relatively crude instruments were used for these measurements.
#
The Arch sways a maximum of 18" (9" each way) in a 150 mph wind. The usual sway is 1/2".


Wow just wow!

St. Louis Arch

All of these photos were taken on 10/01/07.
My digital camera ran out of battery power, so, these were taken with a one time use camera. I have gotten a new digital camera since then anyway, so I will have even better quality pictures next time.
This was part of my 3 day birthday celebration!
My family took me to eat at Ponderosa & to the Arch that day.
It was interesting being inside the Arch. I actually touched the Arch. LOL.
There was graffiti on it, too.

The park around the Arch was so so pretty!
They had so many trees & benches.
It was so peaceful out there. I want to move closer to St. Louis so, I could go out there more often.

I'll rescan these again sometime because, I got a new scanner & it will come out better with this one.
I am not normally at Baseball fan, but, I would love to go to a Cardinal's game too.
We went by Busch stadium a few times. I didn't get a picture of it though. I will next time!

I can't wait to go back this year!
We plan on going to Six Flags a few times this year. It will be a blast as usual!
