HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO FRIENDS AND FAMILY, NEAR AND FAR, OLD,NEW AND RENEWED!  

MAY YOUR LIFE BE BLESSED BEYOND MEASURE!

Happy 8th Birthday to my boys!

Every good and perfect gift comes from Heaven above,

One in our hands, the other in our heart.

June Photo A Day

Day 1 - Morning 

(this was taken about 10am in the morning on a June day a couple of years ago.  We had just filled the pool the day before...and he simply COULD NOT wait to get in.  It was cold...his teeth are chattering.)

Day 2 - Empty

(or nearly empty....hardly anyone at the pool today)

Day 3 - On My Plate

(birthday dinner at Cheddars)

Day 4 -- Close Up

(it's actually red and ready to be picked...this was taken a few days ago)

Day 5 - Sign

It's hard to read...best pic I could get..but you know when people post pictures of funny signs, and you wonder if it's real and how they found them...well, this one is as real as it gets.  There has been a subdivision in various stages of construction since we moved here 4.5 yrs ago...this sign and another one at the other corner just happened to catch my eye the other day.  The last bullet point says "Funished Model"...not Furnished, or Finished.... but FUNished.

(need I say more??)

Day 8 - Six o'clock

(around 6pm, I was driving home from the Y)

Day 9 - My View of the Day

Suffice it to say I had a pretty crappy weekend, no thanks to the way it began on Friday morning.  It just went downhill from there.

Day 10 - Best Bit of the Weekend

The best bit is that I wasn't seriously injured by Silverado that rear-ended me on Friday AND that my children were not with me at the time.  Nice, huh?

THE ONLY FLAG THAT DOESN'T FLY

THE ONLY FLAG THAT DOESN'T FLY

Between the  fields where the flag is planted, there are 9+ miles of flower 
fields that  go all the way to the ocean. The flowers are grown by seed 
companies. It's  a beautiful place, close to Vandenberg AFB. Check out 
the dimensions of  the flag. The Floral Flag is 740 feet long and 390 feet 
wide and maintains  the proper Flag dimensions, as described in Executive
Order #10834. This  Flag is 6.65 acres and is the first Floral Flag to be 
planted with 5  pointed Stars, comprised of White  Larkspur.  Each Star is 
24 feet in diameter; each Stripe is 30 feet  wide. This Flag is estimated to 
contain more than 400,000 Larkspur plants,  with 4-5 flower stems each, 
for a total of more than 2 million  flowers.
For our  soldiers....Please  don't break  it 

When you  see this, please stop for a moment and say a prayer for our
servicemen.
