Good times with Mike and Carol!

We had a fun day, went to lunch with Mike and Carol Schwartz.  We went to the Salem Elks and had their Sunday chicken dinner special, it was really good. Then we went Mt. Vernon to watch "Divergent", seriously, don't waste your money on this one. The acting was excellent, but the story was lacking and was like a bad version of Hunger Games... We had a great time though, nothing like time with friends...Mike was driving us back home and we saw a guy mowing his lawn and his pants fell down...We didn't get a good look, so we drove around the block, but he had pulled his pants up by then..lol...people are crazy!

Foggy sunrise


Good morning, friends! It is a gorgeous day today, frosted last night though and cold, but the sun is shining and that's good enough for me...here's a couple of early morning photos. The fog was beautiful also.

Saturday, March 22, 2014










Well, we sat here and looked at each other until 11:30 and decided to just go do something so as not to waste this beautiful day. So we hit a few junk shops in Flora and had lunch at Julians. There is a private pond near our house, that always has ducks, and/or geese there. I got a few good pix before they flew away. I didn't even get out of the car and they were taking off. Beautiful snow geese and Canadian geese and I think a few ducks, kind of hard to tell since they all have wings..lol...We are still not up to par, but enjoyed the day anyway

Moon rise


Good evening friends, such a pretty day, very windy though. Had lunch with my Red Hat ladies, took mom to a doctor's appointment and then had ice cream. It was a beautiful evening also, got a photo of the moon just before it got dark, it's beginning to look and feel like Spring, I'm so happy!

Possum: 0, Bill, might possum warrior: 1

Bill had an altercation with a possum this morning, flinging him into the air with a stick, smacking him into submission by whacking him in the head with the same stick several times, finally the possum gave up and ran away, and Bill lives to fight again! Bill imitating the hissing possum was hilarious.. Sally was going crazy the whole time, and ME, I was oblivious, the dryer was on and I didn't hear a thing, just sitting here having my coffee.
