We are Lisa & Herb, aka the Snoopynuts, and this is our home in cyberspace. In real life, we live in the great state of New York! We're nuts about Snoopy, animals, hockey, and we love the great outdoors! We hope our Web site entertains you, makes you smile and takes you away even if it's only for a short time. :)

Where the heck have those Snoopynuts been in the last two weeks? Well, Florida, for one! We went to see Family O' the Snoopynut, minus younger brother who is out of town for work. Got to see his wife and two kids as well as spent a lot of time with Parents O' the Snoopynut! The weather was fairly good although it did get a bit humid toward the end of the trip. One of the days we took a time out and went over to the coast to Melbourne to see one of our favorite groups, The Rippingtons. I even made two videos that came out pretty good, if I do say so myself! The first one is their first two songs. The video isn't great but I did get the hang of that eventually so the second one which has their last two songs, is much better!
And one last thing for today -- I would like to share with you a sample of a new strip called Ten Cats. It's a really cute comic and I thought this one was especially funny!

Again with the disappearing act! This time it wasn't due to laziness or a boring stretch in our lives, it was due to technical difficulty. I think it has been fixed so now we can bring you a lollapalooza of an entry! (Yes, that was a word long before the music festival. ;) )
Where to begin? How about some photos to start with. I will list what they are and their significance and then you can click on them to match them up with the info.
1 This is a really neat badgeholder I got for the Mr. as a 'just because' pressie! He loves it, natch. Who wouldn't? ;) He's the envy of his co-workers, I bet. :D
2 & 3 Snowmen...as you can see. But these aren't just *any* ol' snowmen. These are Snoopynut Ivory Snow snowmen, handmade by the Snoopynuts! We made them and then decided to make a centerpiece for our table out of one of them and since that came out so well, we decided to make a few more and try and sell them on Etsy. No luck yet, though. I imagine it's not a good time of year for snowmen. :P
4 Cartoon that inspired 5. ;)
5 My first completely vegan cupcakes made from a recipe in an excellent cookbook given to me by Mr. Snoopynut. They came out scrumptious! (They're the same as regular cupcakes but made without eggs or milk.)
6 This....is a doughnut. You probably recognized that. But did you notice it is sitting on a regular sized paper plate? :O
10-22 Highland Forest near Fabius, NY, south of Syracuse. We did a 4½ hour trek that day! Something like 8-9 miles. Drank a lot of water that day, let me tell you!
23-26 Labrador Hollow Unique Area where we had lunch one day after a short hike at Highland Forest. It is so beautiful and peaceful there. I would spend hours there if I lived close enough.
And now I will leave you with a couple of quotes -- one serious, by George Bernard Shaw, and one not so serious, (but cute!), from the comic strip 10 Cats!
Upon being told by doctors that he would die if he refused to eat meat:
"My situation is a solemn one: Life is offered to me on the condition of eating beefsteaks. But death is better than cannibalism. My Will contains directions for my funeral, which will be followed not by mourning coaches, but by oxen, sheep, flocks of poultry and a small traveling aquarium of live fish, all wearing white scarves in honor of the man who perished rather than eat his fellow-creatures. It will be, with the exception of Noah's Ark the most remarkable of it kind ever seen."
"Our time here on Earth is short! We do not know when our last flight will be! First it's check-in time -- then it's check-out time! Along the way we all lose a little baggage and ask for more peanuts!"

It's been an uneventful spring so far. We took a day trip this past Sunday and went to Boonville for some garlic pizza, which was a bust as they weren't open yet when we got there. So we went down to Pixley Falls, a few miles south. It was just a spectacular day! Perfect temps and abundant sunshine. Afterward we went to Old Forge, looked at and test paddled a kayak and looked at some shoes for Herb. We call that a Grand Day Out!
