Couple of pictures...

of our new addition!  We have a new little one in the neighborhood and he/she is just darling!  I'm calling it a her.  The neighbors say there were two little ones, but one of them ran away or disappeared anyway.  Now there's just one!  Her momma doesn't think much of us, though, so Itty-bit is scared, too!

Most of the daylight hours, she just lays down over by the fence.  When we're outside, momma goes clear away from her so we don't see her, I guess.  Well, sorry, Momma - we have a camera with a zoom lens!

This is a picture from a couple of nights ago.  The sunset was so bright, it was just like a huge fire over the hospital next door!  

I got all of my picture folders copied today (on this computer anyway).  I still have the laptop to do, but I'm running out of blank DVDs!  I take lots of pictures!!  I'm also editing as I go so that's what is taking such a long time!

We went out to Craig & Sue's today.  It was good to see them.  Tomorrow is Chris' funeral (Craig's brother) so we'll see them tomorrow, too.  Today, however, it was just us four, Debbie, Brad & Alyssa.  Lunch was wonderful and so was the company.  I hadn't seen Sue since Christmastime.

Interesting Day

I had what I'll call an interesting day today.  This morning was pretty good.  We had our monthly card club this morning where we made two adorable cards.  That was fun!  Then I came home, ate lunch, and prepared to get ready to go to a funeral.  But by 12:30 I was having chills and a stomach ache, so I didn't go.  I''ve still got those same symptoms tonight, just not as pronounced.  I'm assuming I caught a bug somewhere.  Bummer!

So this afternoon, I worked on a couple of graduation cards - both orange and black.  I plan to get them done in the morning and then after lunch we'll leave for Waverly for Kaylee's graduation party.  We're not staying all night, so we'll be home very, very late tomorrow night.  I hope the deer stay out of our way while we're coming home!

Speaking of deer.  I got up to check on the birds in the back yard just a little bit ago and look what I saw:

She's between our house and the neighbors, about 5' from our fenced in back yard...just hanging out!  Sorry, the pictures aren't very good because I had the camera on the wrong setting, plus I was shooting through a screen window and the fence!  She's a big one!!  I'm glad she's on the outside of our yard!

Ooops!

I'm sorry - I guess I forgot to blog last night!  Dave was in Des Moines and I stayed up until almost 1:00 AM just so I'd be sleepy.  I don't know how I forgot to blog!  Must be a brain fart!  Sorry!

I even had a picture or two that I wanted to share.  While I was on my computer yesterday afternoon, I looked out my window and this is what I saw!

 I sneaked out the front door and took a couple more pictures.  I even did a little noise so they'd look at me.

 The little buck seemed the most interested.  The does just kept on eating!  Look at his fuzzy antlers!

Today out my window, I had lots of hummingbirds, squirrels, a cardinal that keep clicking, but no more deer.  I had the windows all open today.  In fact, they're still open.  Just giving the A/C a rest after a long, long hot summer!!  Back in the 90's tomorrow, but for tonight we're going to enjoy God's air!!

Dave got home about 2:30 this afternoon and we both fell asleep in our chairs for a bit.  I had a sorority meeting at 6:00, so I left about 5:45 and just got home about half an hour ago.  Tomorrow is an easy day.  It's also our friend Craig's 60th birthday!  Poor baby!!
