Another 2007 layout bites the dust...you just gotta love that face!!

Circle flies, Texans and respect...

A Republican cowboy from Texas goes to a social function where Hillary Clinton is trying to gather more support for her nomination. Once she discovers the cowboy is a Republican, she starts to belittle him by talking in a southern drawl and single syllable words. As she was doing that, she kept swatting at some flies that were buzzing around her head. The cowboy says , 'Y'all havin' some problem with them circle flies?' She stopped talking and said, 'Well yes, if that's what they're called. But I've never heard of circle flies.' 'Well ma'am,' the cowboy replies, 'circle flies hang around ranches. They're called circle flies because they're almost always found circling around the back end of a horse. ''Oh,' Hillary replies as she goes back to rambling. But, a moment later she stops and bluntly asks, 'Are you calling me a horse's ass?'' No, ma'am,' the cowboy replies, 'I have too much respect for citizens of New York to call their Senator a horse's ass. ''That's a good thing,' she responds and begins rambling on once more. After a long pause, the cowboy, in his best Texas drawl says, . . . 'Hard to fool them flies though !'

Another Quilt by Mom

My Mother has been very busy these past few weeks trying to finish a quilt for my sister to give to her friend...and here it is....She did a beautiful job!!

You do beautiful work Mom and we all appreciate it!!

I am also glad you are on the internet once again and you can send photos!! Yippee!!

Semper Fi

Fred was in San Diego at Camp Pendleton this past week for a few days. His nephew Nathan graduated from MARINE bootcamp...Here are a few photos he took with his mobile phone. Not a great job but it gives you an idea...I sent Michael's click and shoot digital with him but he didn't take any photos with it, grrr....Nathan might be in one of these photos but they are such small photos and of poor quality I can't tell, lol....

Sunday ~ YeeHaw!

I had a date this morning with a nephew to go riding. Andy got a new horse, Cayenne. He brought her over so I could see her and we could go riding. It is beautiful out today and we had a really goodtime. We didn't ride long as Julie and I are not in shape, lol...

Andy riding Cayenne.

Saturday ~ Wedding

Saturday we were invited to a wedding, a former co-worker and friends daughter was married. I honestly didn't take too many photos but here are a few. Fred, Michael and I were still not feeling up to Par from last week so we didn't stay long...

Jeremy (Fred's oldest son) with his new Truck.
Jeremy is sooo Proud of his New Truck!! Jeremy was a groomsman in the wedding.


Michael trying to get Daddy out of the truck, lol...

Michael climbing the Rodeo Arena fence...

Since my friend Helen is playing around with B/W photos I thought I'd try a few...above Michael is talking to Daddy. Below is My MAN all cleaned up and looking good!! I just wished he'd smile...

Friday and feeling fine...

I feel so much BETTER today!! It was a welcome relief!!

I had that stomach virus Weds and then yesterday I had some dental work done. They've found out I have sensitive teeth and my mouth normally kills me for weeks after any kind of dental work. I found a fantastic dentist and he used some time of desensitize treatment on my teeth yesterday and it WORKED!! YES!! I was truly amazed this morning when I got up and my mouth didn't hurt...I'm laughing because for years I dreaded going to the dentist and avoided it at all cost...now I know why! I'm so thankful I found a Dentist who understood and did something about it!!

So today Michael and I went to town...we had a pretty good day! I got some goodies and Michael got a new HOUSE!! He loves it. Except now we have to color it, lol...I thought Michael could do it but he wants Mamma to help, ugh!! So much for me having some quiet time to scrap!! It's a pretty cool house and we found it at a local craft store and it wasn't that expensive either...He said he wants to hang a sign on it..."NO DOGS ALLOWED"...lol...He says Jake is to big for his house...and I think he might be right!!

After the house was built I decided to try some more photos of the birds. I actually had a Carolina Chickadee out at the feeder and wanted a photo of it....but alas I had problems!!

As you can see I had one MAJOR problem!!

A horse with her nose stuck in my camera, in my hair, blowing in my ears, etc....She just doesn't like it when I am trying for photos of the birds, lol...Or perhaps it might have been feedtime!! Ekkkkk...I couldn't resist the photo of her nose, lol...now how many of you have ever had the chance to look up a horses nose, ha ha ha!!

Another chipping sparrow...I liked the way the sun showed the red on his crown. These sparrows are really tame and I love watching them...once again I'm just too far away for a decent shot...one of these days I'll get a better lense for my camera, lol...then watch out birdies!!

And another shot of Mr. Cardinal...he was watching me and was real flighty...I won't give up though and I'll keep trying for that perfect shot I want...

That was pretty much our day...
