Lone Peak Fire

This is our new fire station. I've been on the department for 11 years now and have waited a long time to see this. I've seen the department grow from a volunteer department, to a part time department, and now a full time department. I work with a great group of guys that I can truely call my brothers.

This is also in the main entry hall. Very impressive!

Cool place to hang our turnouts.
My gear sits outside the truck for a speedy exit..........

This is our fire pole. Pretty cool. The only problem with it is you have open the door to it with a code, and then jump out to the pole. The contractors goofed when placing it. I don't think I'll use it in the middle of the night..
This is the best room in the house. Our own private gym. This was a must in the pre-planing.
Main entry way. I think we are spoiled now. Looks like Martha Stewart was here to decorate....haha
First day back to the station. Look at the winter welcome. We had 5 calls that day due to the weather conditions.

Shooting Glimpse

David and I went to the Xango head quarters to shoot footage on the new skin care system, Glimpse. Of course I took photos of David as I'm always close to a camera.


David did a really great job filming. This will be on a DVD that Xango will distribute all over the world. It was fun and scarey all at the same time.

OK, for those who know me well, have got to know there is something wrong with this picture. The truth is I don't like to talk in front of an audience. David's got me doing all kinds of things I'm not used to doing. To tell you the truth, I'd rather run into a burning building...........hehe

Here we are doing our hazmat skit to demonstrate how toxic the products are we are using in our home and on our bodies.
We were a hit!!!

Ash, Cash and Mom come to Indiana

We are at Mark and Diana's pig farm putting on our plastic to cover our feet. That way we won't get poop on our shoes...

Just a bit stinky........ Cash and Ash, pinching their nose...

Cash found a fun place to rest......











This was one of the highlights of our trip. Playing corn toss was a hoot. David and Ron never missed!!!
