I don't think this Northern Flicker ever noticed me while I snapped his photo again and again. He was too busy eating and I crept up behind a tree. I just knew the mama was going to peck me on the head when I peeked into what I thought was

Label me irked! I received the following comments to my Oncologist Appointment entry and they have me in a very negative mood. I figure everyone is entitled to their own opinion and I'm a lover not a fighter so I generally ignore any

On Father's Day we took our grandson to the toy aisle shopping. He's getting so interactive and he loves banging his hands on things, especially his PaPaw's computer. So we went in search of something he could bang on that would res
Fun Monday #6 - The Dusty Bookshelf
Monday, 25 June 2007 10:45 P GMT-06
As you can see there are few books on my small bookshelf. 90% of my books are in boxes and have been since we moved from Texas in 2003. I hate that I can't see them lined up, touch them when I want, etc. But we haven't had t

When I was at the oncologist's office on Wednesday I had a low grade fever, 99 point something. No big deal, right? Well, my normal temperature is 97.8. Rarely am I ever at the world's normal of 98.6 degrees. I haven&#

I had my first mammogram today and as much as I feared it and worried over it, it wasn't as bad as my mind made it. I won't lie it was uncomfortable and one side absolutely hurt, due to my port being in the way. But it was surviva

My parents and I moved into a house when I was 5 years old that they remained in for about 30 years. It was a little house in a part of Joplin, Missouri that had once been part of Cunnigham Horse Racetracks and my grandparents had lived in it before

I go to the oncologist tomorrow for my next appointment and tomorrow I get my first mammogram. Oh joys, how fun! I swear we get so busy right before my appointments, I think my husband does it on purpose to distract me and it's probab

Dennis and I were in Wisconsin Rapids a couple of evenings ago looking for a cache in a park. We were having difficulty finding the small container, the sun as beginning to go down and the flashlight wasn't providing enough light so we head
let's be friends
Thursday, 14 June 2007 10:02 A GMT-06
It’s so much harder to make friends as adults. Remember those days on the playground when you just ran up to any kid and started talking? If an adult does that to you I bet you think they’re weird and you try to get away. We don’t e

photo surprise
Wednesday, 13 June 2007 10:33 P GMT-06
It's amazing the things that appear in photos once I can see them on the computer screen and not just the back of the camera. I was trying to get the slug, never noticed the nail or the ant. But, I really like the way it turned out.
busy and nervous
Wednesday, 13 June 2007 10:32 P GMT-06
Life has been so busy lately that when I have a great topic to write about I forget it before I get back to my computer. Not only that but I guess you could label me slightly depressed as I sit nervously waiting my next round of tests coming up

lucky streak
Saturday, 9 June 2007 10:28 P GMT-06
About time we had a little luck. The storms came through and we faired ok. As I watched the Weather Channel last night I was surprised to see a nice line of little red triangles indicating tornados passing directly over our area. We
large families

While walking a trail in Appleton I scared up a mom and her babies. I love this shot I managed to get and wanted to share it. I have never seen such large families of ducks and geese as I saw that day. Do you think the moms adopted some?&
deafening silence

Standing in the road watching the first storm come in, all of a sudden the wind stopped and there as a silence as great as any I've ever heard. The interstate quit buzzing, the birds quit chirping, the leaves quit rustling and all I heard w

Tornados are much more rare up here in Wisconsin than when I lived in Missouri. I spent the first 30+ years living in tornado alley and have built a big respect for them. I'm always surprised when I hear about one here in Wisconsin, t

I have boasted Dennis' wonderfulness time and time again. But, I now have proof of how much wiser and more capable he is. He is truly the glue in the family and you will see it for yourself when you hear what happened.Dennis had to wo
Fun Crafty Monday #3
Monday, 4 June 2007 10:59 P GMT-06
I have been sewing this little quilt by hand, probably why it's still unfinished. Quilting is a new thing I have learned to like, but all of my supplies are still packed from the move so I couldn't find the 4 quilt tops I have don
