Candid Camera!

Remember when I posted this awhile back, wondering what critter had feasted here? Well, Jason set up a critter cam to see if we could solve the mystery, but we had to wait to get the cam returned to the owner and download the picture. Amy sent it to me while we were on the Eurodam, so I am now finally getting around to posting it...

Cutie caught on the critter cam is now revealed...ta da.....

Everybody say CUTE...but where is his mama??? We don't want to meet her! Dick saw a fox cross the yard just the other day, and of course we have lots of deer, cranes, Canada geese, ducks........a rather irregular zoo around here! How 'bout that!!!

Enjoy your Tuesday...I'm still wading through mail/paperwork.......urrrggghhh......whose idea was it to be gone for a month? And we're gonna do it again? Call me crazy! No, call me a Gal Friday...or a Guy Friday!!!

CDB...patriots for sure!

These are the two best pictures taken from our seats. I know, one of us should have gotten off our sorry butts and walked down closer. At least I cropped off the bald head that showed up on the second picture...no, not Dick's head........it was a guy a few rows down from us. It wasn't a pretty sight.

Ole Charlie still has it together...the band sounds good, has a good time in the process, and all are patriots, loving this country! They rock!!!

Dick and I both listen mainly to current country music, as opposed to the twangy stuff my parents listened to and I hated as a kid. Funny how that works. That same cycle happened with our kids, and now they all like current country, too. Actually, we like most any music except for that rap crap. So, tell me what your favorite genre of music is, OK? Let's see how many respond. You gotta do it.......go ahead.......it'll only take a minute! Have a great Sunday.

Gone shoppin'

Good morning, y'all!

Amy, Haley, the wee ones, and I have gone to Gainesville shopping. Nothing exciting--a trip to Kohl's, Wally World, maybe Marshall's just for fun. We all are in need of items that are either hard or impossible to find here in Mayberry. That is one of the disadvantages of living in a small town, but the advantages far outweigh the negatives.

Then when we get back, I've gotta change for dinner with friends, then a concert by the Charlie Daniels Band. How 'bout that? Both of those will be fun.

Now tell me what is happenin' with you. I left Parker to watch over all of you, and he'll tell me who has been lurkin' and not leavin' a message for sure! Have a great Saturday, whatever you do!

Mutiny on the Miracle

Here is a shot of the NYC skyline from the port one week ago today, which is where we docked after our transatlantic crossing on the Holland America Lines Eurodam...

Carnival Miracle parked next to us. Hi, pretty ship! And then it left on a grand adventure...

..............however, I just read on Bee's blog that the adventure did not have a happy ending! Her link took me to the headline that sez "Hanna-caused detour prompts 'mutiny' on Carnival Miracle." Helllloooo, folks...y'all got cheeeep fares during huricane season! Guess they forgot. Oh yes, some of the passengers are lawyers. Go figure. They need to read the fine print on their tickets.

Dick just booked us another cruise, but we won't have to worry about hurricanes Down Under. Guess where we are going in November???

Breaking news from Alabama...

Breaking news:
All of the Wal-Marts across Alabama sold out of ammunition as of yesterday.
A reliable source said that one of the purchasers commented that while Russia may have invaded Georgia, they sure as hell ain't doin' it to Alabama.

Good afternoon, y'all! We love the folks over in Alabama for sure.

All our company is now gone (we loved seeing Gene/Janelee and Wade/Ginger)...but now it is time to attack all this paperwork that has been sitting here, some for a whole month! Anyone want to volunteer to come help me??? Anyone, anyone............BTW, Sarah Palin ROCKS! She kicked some serious butt last night. Nice lipstick on that pit bull:-) If you didn't hear her, you won't get that line. I hate politics; I hate politics...

Enjoy the rest of your day. I at least have dinner with friends to look forward to for later.

Eurodam Harbor Symphony at last!

Dick has spent hours 'figgering' out a way to get the video posted. We learned that for a mainly audio video, we'll use a lower resolution for the picture quality next time. Our Windows My Space blog wouldn't let us upload, nor would youtube. Dick re-recorded the video from our TV, so go check it out on the link below. Double click on the harbor picture and it will bring up the new video, WITH SOUND. Let us know what you think, OK?

Will's christening...

We have a new christian in the family...and big brother is looking on.........

With a grand celebration afterward at his home. Will threw a fine party, but his big brother was worn out and is napping, so he isn't in the picture, dang it.

We love a happy ending...and a new beginning. Life is grand!
