Ava Adeline

I forgot to add this picture on January 1, 2009. Ava was posing for the camera!!!!

She is such a doll! Darling baby, too. I just saw her this past weekend and gave her a bath and rocked her with her bottle. When she was done, she immediately put her left thumb in her mouth and was fast asleep!
This evening we got on Skype and saw Kristen and Ava and Great Grandpop was in awe when he was able to see his granddaughter and great granddaughter as if they were in the same room...he thought that was pretty neat. Technology and Family go together!!!

Edison High Class of 1969

Well, here it is February 4, 2009 and it has been 40 years since graduating from high school...Does that sound crazy or what??? I have room to think that no one knows where I am, so I won't here about any Class Reunion. I am not sure we would all recognize each other anyway, but it would be nice to see some of my old pals....I would name a few I have seen on reunion.com but some others may be offended. I am anticipating someone to email before long...Or is this a wish?

Snow Pictures

Snow Covered Lily Pad

I will post a picture tomorrow...it is still snowing. I would like to capture it when it is glistening. Today was a gray snowy day. I am hoping I can catch the gleam tomorrow! Till then........ goodnight!

Wild Turkeys, Can you believe your Eyes?

That is right! What you are seeing is a flock of wild turkeys in my yard. They came in one day and I saw them as I was about to let the dogs outside from the garage. Undoubtedly, I stopped short in my tracks and quietly took the dogs back into the house and called Kristen, who was visiting at the time, to get the camera.... It was great to see them...and they finally made their way back into the woods.
The dogs did have fun with trying to find them once we let them out, but they didn't come back with a catch!

Twilight Stargazer Lily Dove

I have a new female Weimaraner pup who is now 4 1/2 months old. I guess I need to introduce her formally. I just wasn't ready, I guess until now. Her AKC name is a long one and kind of like a Wheel of Fortune name, ha. We call her Lily. I named her this because I love stargazer lillies and she is always up at twilight and the color of a dove...

She has been keeping me busy and is now 36lbs. She is halfway grown!!! When I got her she was so little and couldn't even get up the stairs. Now she is jumping all over the place and chasing Sherlock, keeping up with the big dog!!!(almost, he can outrun her when he wants to!!)

It is nice to have him active again, he was being too much of a couch potato. And I have had more exercise as well with walking Lily and playing fetch with her. She has learned quickly. She loves the outdoors. Because she was born outside and in a barn in August, and stayed outdoors all the time, she loves outside. But don't get me wrong, she loves inside too, and her comfy hoodies, sweaters and nightshirts!

I have been lucky so far with the weather...We have had no snow yet to mention, just a flurry or two and maybe one day with some on the ground so we can get out every day, except in rainy weather....she isn't too wild about the rain!

I am planning on joining a local Kennel Club and participating in some AKC events. It will give us a good family activity and Lily just may enjoy it too. She has Champions in her bloodline, so wish us luck.

Sunshine came softly upon my window today.......

It was a cold and dreary day today, but alas, I did see some sun....
It amazes me that I have to do things to keep my mind busy so I don't miss being outside in nice weather. So busy bee "me" has to make blankets and wash dog toys....burn pictures to CD's. I guess we have to make hay while the sun shines...and keep sunshine in our minds and hearts.
