AUTUMN IS A SECOND SPRING......

when every leaf is a flower.


Guess who went for a walk today..........yep, ME!!!!
Found this beautiful site in my viewfinder.

HOW TO INSTALL A HOME SECURITY SYSTEM(CHEAP)(thank you SHIRLEE)

1. Go to a second-hand store and buy a pair of men's used size 14-16 work boots.

2. Place them on your front porch, along with several empty beer cans, a copy of Guns & Ammo magazine and several NRA magazines.

3. Put a few giant dog dishes next to the boots and magazine.

4. Leave a note on your door that reads:
"Hey Bubba, Big Jim, Duke and Slim, I went to the gun shop for more ammunition. Back in an hour. Don't mess with the pit bulls -- they attacked the mailman this morning and messed him up real bad. I don't think Killer took part in it but it was hard to tell from all the blood." PS - I locked all four of 'em in the house. Better wait outside.

Happy 3rd Birthday Miss Natasha

Guess who's 3 today ?

The plan was to go to DQ for a ice cream treat, and Grandma was all excited to see Natasha devour her 1st ever BANANA SPLIT......................well all I have to say is don't make plans for what you want someone else to eat! The banana split was a great big NO THANK YOU.............BABY CONE PLEASE!!!!

Well instead of a baby cone, she got a chocolate covered small cone(Grandma couldn't do just a baby cone)...........and that was okay!

FUNNY FOR THE DAY!!!! (thank you Blanche)

Dear Tech Support:
35 years ago I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0, and noticed a distinct slow-down in overall system performance.

Particularly in the Flower and Jewelry applications, which operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0.

In addition, Husband 1.0 uninstalled many other valuable programs, such as Romance 9.5 and Personal Attention 6.5, and then installed undesirable programs such as NFL 5.0, NHL 4.5, MLB 3.0, NBA4.0, NASCAR 4.2 and Golf Clubs 4.1.

Conversation 8.0 no longer runs, and Housecleaning 2.6 simply crashes the system.

I've tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these problems, but to no avail.

What can I do?

Signed, Desperate


Dear Desperate:
First keep in mind, Boyfriend 5.0 is an Entertainment Package, while Husband 1.0 is an Operating System.

Please enter the command:"http//www.I-Thought-You-Loved-Me.com" and try to download Tears 6.2, and don't forget to install the Guilt 3.0 update.

If that application works as designed, Husband 1.0 should then automatically run the applications Jewelry 2.0 and Flowers 3.5.

But remember, over use of the above application can cause Husband 1.0 to default to Grumpy Silence 2.5, Happy Hour 7.0, or Beer 6.1. Beer 6.1 is a very bad program that will download the Snoring LoudlyBeta.

Whatever you do, DO NOT install Mother-in-law 1.0 (it runs a virus in the background, that will eventually seize control of all your system resources).

Also, do not attempt to reinstall the Boyfriend 5.0 program. This is an unsupported application and will crash Husband 1.0.

In summary, Husband 1.0 is a great program, but it does have limited memory, and cannot learn new applications quickly.

You might consider buying additional software to improve memory and performance.

We recommend Hot Food 3.0 and Lingerie 7.7.

Good luck --- Tech Support

Tagging update..........

I just recieved my first e-mail respone, and have added to the original tag post..............thanks for playing Lori!

I have removed Shelley from my tag list, only because I know Heather also tagged her.........don't want poor Shelley to have to come up with 10 weird things, 5 is hard enough.
My new addition will be my niece Emily, and Emily I don't know why I didn't think of you in the first place, silly me!!!! Probably because I didn't think there were any WEIRD things about you(except your two brothers & your Dad(shhhhhhh don't tell them I said that)).......lol!

YET ANOTHER WEIRD THING ABOUT ME!
I have thought of another weird thing about myself.................I peel banana's from the wrong end!!! Have you ever met anyone that was challenged in peeling a banana the RIGHT way?...............now that is WEIRD?????

I've been tagged in a weird way............

Thank you Lacintha(check out her blog link to the right)!

Now I have to tell you five weird things about me.............let me think..................hmmmmmmmmmmmm?????


1. Lacintha speaking of speeding, I once was the lucky winner of 3 speeding tickets in a 24 hour time frame............slow down Donna!!!
2. I literally can't stand anyone rubbing my scalp/back/shoulders/feet.....I know I'm WEIRD!
3. I don't have many fears..........but DON'T COME NEAR me with even the smallest little worm............I cannot be held responsible for my actions!!!!!
4. Sock always turn on my feet, after a short time the heal is always on the top...............I AM NOT KIDDING!!!!
5. Hats don't sit straight on my head..............after I've been wearing a hat(okay it's rare)for a bit, the brim is to the side...........guess I have a wacky shaped head! Considering #4 & #5 , it looks like I am a little off from head to toe.........LOL!!!!
Okay that's as weird as it's going to get...........no laughing!!!!!!


I will tag.....
Danica
Dana

Lori
5 weird things !!!!!
1) I hate birds yet I went on a goose hunt this morning with the boys to shoot photo’s only!!! They can have it I’d rather be fast asleep at 5 am.
2) I love miniature donkeys. What they are good for I don’t really know I just think they are neat.
3) I would rather spend the day weeding the garden then shopping.
4) A would rather spend the day at home alone in peace and quit then go on a ski trip or out on the town.
5) I write and eat with my left hand and do everything else with my right. I can hammer with both, I just switch when one gets tired.

That was kind of neat and also hard to think of !!!

9/11

5 years later I watch the coverage, and STILL wonder WHY?

WAY TO GO EMILY.....so proud of you!!!!!!

this day has been planned for quite awhile!!!! Emily wanted to donate her LONG hair to have a wig made for KIDS WITH CANCER. Even though you are not totally happy with your SHORT hair, just think of what a GREAT thing you have done, and remember your hair will grow back. ((((hugs to you)))) I am so proud of you, and you should be proud of yourself!

last shot of Emily's LONG HAIR!!!!!

going, going gone!!!!!

The new girl............a huge change for a 10 year old, especially when she has had LONG hair ALL of her life!

The 9 inches of hair that is required to make a donation for a wig.

Emily I know you will be reading this so I want to tell you a little story(which I don't think you have heard). When I was a teenager(a long time ago), I babysat this little girl that was 8 years old.....she got cancer. When she was having her treatments all of her hair fell out, and her parents got her a wig. The little girl was VERY excited, she loved it! She was to young to understand how sick she was, and that it wasn't a GOOD thing to have to wear a wig, she thought it was COOL, and FUN, it made her smile! Although this story does not have a happy ending I always remember how happy she was when she got her wig. NOW when I think of a child with cancer that has lost their hair, I will ALWAYS think of the THOUGHTFUL thing YOU did for KIDS WITH CANCER.

oh, and by the way, I LOVE YOUR NEW DOO!!!!!!!

I SURVIVED THE 1ST GAME OF THE SEASON.......

What do I have to survive you ask.....STRESS! I am very nervous while watching these games....not so much about the game, but about the possible injuries!

My photo subject is in white( #11).




100 pictures later(did I ever say how much I love digital)these are my favorites. Daylan of course wants TACKLE pictures(him tackling someone)but there not easy to get..........I'll keep trying, maybe next game I'll get lucky!


My favorite......too funny he's not even on the field. He came off the field after a GOOD play, and his coach shows his appreciation. WTG Daylan!






On the sidelines I noticed this..............love it!

RED POPPIES TURN WHITE


This is a mystery to me! My FIL has always had red poppies in his garden. They re-seed themselves and come back every year........this year they are ALL white!
see here:
