  • PPS 2010 HORIZON LINES and CLOCKS UP!

    I have really been blowing the topic this year.

    It’s almost time to retire it though and I will do a better job on keeping up with links next year.

    (At least that’s what I have been telling myself.)

    SO! Here are the links that I’ve missed.

    If you have CLOCKS or HORIZON LINES up and I’ve missed them, please send me a message and I will add them to the post.

    My favorite GET OUT OF BED song!

    While I was looking for a video version to share… I wanted to post the scene from Singing in the Rain, but all of the embedding code has been disabled, I found Cookiezandcream’s YouTube channel.

     What fun, a lot of time and effort went into these…  So THANK YOU Cookiezandcream for giving me a video I can share with my GOOD MORNING!

  • Put Me in the Zoo…

    Spending time with my Little Sister and my Family.

    Having fun.

    WE went to the ZOO!

    don't wake the polar bear

    Everyone there was napping today, it must have been siesta time…

    fish all come full circle

    The fish weren’t sleeping though…

    Does anyone know, do fish sleep?

  • UP CLOSE

     

    I stayed home from work sick today…

    It was pouring out, the weather matched the way I felt, dark and icky.

    When it stopped I was tired of being inside and needed some air, so I took a walk around the yard and ended up crawling through the wet grass.

    Maybe not the best thing for most  sick people, but it sure made me feel better.

    The morning glories are still sending out a few last hopes.

    wet chick side

    I love, love, love, my hen’s and chicks… They remind me of my childhood.

    My mom grew them by the barrel full.

    This seed pod reminded me of  Murisopsis and her incredible pottery.

    wet web

    Caught in a web

    While I was trying to shoot the great drops in this web I almost set my hand on this…

    wet spider by web

    He was super still and very patient,

     considering that because I am shooting with a cheap piece of magnified glass,

     I have to set my lens right on top of him.

    I don’t know about him, but I will probably have nightmares tonight. :-s

    What makes YOU feel better?

  • A Little More Life Up Close

    Been feeling a little glum lately.

    I’m still enjoying looking at the world in close up though…

    Lets call him Absolome.

    There are fungus among us…

    I love the color of  Quaking Aspen leaves.

    Can water run up hill? 

    Life is good, I am sure that I’m just going through the season change blahs.

    How are you guys doing?  

     

  • Geocaching Mile Stone for My Pop!

    Not  that long ago my Pop started Geocaching.

    geocaching 3-23-08 093

    My Sister and  Pop at a  -First To Find- in 2008…

    I don’t know what number he was then, but yesterday…

    Pop 1000th find

    This was them at his 1000th find!

    He is now a proud member of the four digit club or 4DC… My sister presented him with his new hat!

    The gang was all there…

    My hubby took the group photo… This is how it went.

    My Sister- “Okay, that’s enough… no more… On to the next cache!”

    My Pop- “We’re done already? But it’s my 1000th find! Ummm…Can someone help me up? ”

    (Just kidding, my Pop is still spry and young, no help needed.)

    1000th cache and bad dog 157

    It was a great day and we saw some wonderful things. (To be posted about later.)

    We didn’t make it back to the giant heads though, a shame because I have heard that Mr. Moran did  Lincoln last year… I can’t wait to see it.

    Any excuse for another ROAD TRIP!

    Do you ever wonder why we do the ODD things we do?

    I am sure that I do them because of my family.
