Can You Believe It 100 Years



Namie, which is what we called my great grandma, turned 100 years old on the 20th. So today all the kids, grand kids, great grand kids, and great great grand kids (that could make it) celebrated this special occasion. Her memory is not all there but her health is great for being 100 years old. The picture above is five generations. My mom, grandma, great grandma, brother James, and nephew Razor.



Here is proof that I flew in for the special occation. It was great seeing my relatives. Catching up on old times is always special to me. Now all I have to do is see what kind of trouble poor Sam got into while I was gone. Thank goodness for his parents, brother and sister in-law. I know he was left in good care.

The traveling book for this weekend

Our book exchange


Sam's dad sugested that we read "The Last Lecture" by Randy Pausch. I have almost finished the book, due to it having only 206 pages. It is a easy read. The author had 10 tumors in his liver and passed away a couple of months ago. He was given the chance to give his last lecture.
This book gives you the wanting to fullfill your childhood dreams. Also to better yourself and love every moment you have.
The Cottam family passes books around. Why buy a new book when you get the chance to pass books around. I purchase books all the time, when I find a good one or any one of the Cottams find one we pass it to anyone willing to read it. So if you're in the need of a good book let one of the Cottams know.

Please Help!!


Anyone able to help my poor lonely husband for one weekend only..November 21st through the 23rd I am begging!!


His partner in crime is the fellow below.. I question their ablity to behave while I'm gone!!

I'm Going Home!


At least you could say where my parents live, not me. I never actually lived in Arco, Idaho. Close to it, but never in it. So I'll be there on the 21st and back to Washington on the 23rd. Short trip but ya gotta do what ya gotta do.. My Great Grandmother will be turning 100 years old and I can't miss it. Most of the relatives will be traveling to Challis, Idaho to see her. It will be good times had by all. The best part is I get to do it all again for Thanksgiving with Sam.. So if anyone gets the chance to keep Sam company next weekend, I'll be thanking you!!

Relaxation!!


Relaxation that's what the doctor orders!!!
I could really use this right now..
Sam can't wait for the warm weather, he is
already asking when summer will return.

Sam's Big Laugh Night

Sam always loves a little "Office Time", I guess he can't get enough..


Jim is very witty..



Dwight who could say more..



Office is a must see!!

Then there is 30 Rock which is one of Sam's shows



Sam's favorite character is Kenneth.. He likes almost all of the characters but this one seems to bring the most laughs..

If you watched tonights episode you might know how funny it was. Sam was laughing through out the whole episode. He really got a kick out of the "Opera" switch.

My first visit to Sam's Cube Ville


So the Wednesday before Halloween I actually saw where Sam's desk is. He walked me around to see all the decorations around the site. I had to help Sam show a little Halloween spirit by drawing a pumkin on his dry erase board.
When you walk into Cube Ville it is exactly as this Dilbert comic strip is.. Each row of cubes had it's own lane, ave, court, or what have you. With office room's with great want to go on vacation names!!

Sam's #1 Show


Sam has currently joined the "Chuck" band of groupies!
It is his must see for the week. Thank goodness for DVR!
