Era gone



Sadly....I remember when video stores were first out. No one had a VCR (unless you were rich) and you had to rent one from the video store. A big bulky thing. But, we loved movie nights:D

We have been collecting movies for a long time....and sadly, Hollywood Video was a frequent haunt. We would get $6 movies...and they were guaranteed for LIFE!!! They are no longer :( I'm pretty sure that guarantee is no longer available.

Now where will we buy cheep videos? And I don't mean to rent them....I mean buy! I guess I will have to think of something else to collect.

Books, books, books, books.....



Our new hobby is collecting the readers digest series. We have around 120 of them. We found them at the thrift shop for $1 a piece. How can you resist that??? Now starts the collecting mode. I have a list that I carry in my purse at all times....just in case :D

Forgotton Color



I am a rain girl. I've admitted it before...I'm not afraid to do it again. I LOVE the rain. But, I never realized how much I love the sun too. I had forgotten how beautiful the blue could be....and my flowers just glow in the sunlight.

I have a friend that won't eat blue foods because she says that blue does not appear in nature. (This is an argument I chose NOT to have). Well....obviously she was wrong. Because this blue is amazing. Although, not food. Lets think....blueberries???

Fledgling



Our little baby dove decided to go for his first flight. And of course....landed in the doggie yard. We called a wildlife rescue place that we know through bio-pest and they told us we could pick it up and put it back in it's nest so the dogs wouldn't devour it. They said it was just a myth that you cannot touch birds. Birds do not have a good sense of smell....so they have no clue if you have touched their nest or their baby.



I'm just glad he is ok......for now.

Learning from the Mama


I love watching the kittens and Mamas outside. They do not have their coordination yet and it is super hilarious fun. It amazes me how much they pick up from their mother. Certain character traits...ways they walk....ways they play. They are like little carbon copies.

Shocked beyond belief!!


This was NOT my idea. All Dan's. It has been really cold and wet outside this spring. Dan felt like the inside of the house would be best for the kittens. (The dogs are not liking the arrangement)

I was super surprised when Dan said that the cats were coming in. I was actually against it....but he prevailed. I'm loving it now. I can love on them in my pajamas :D

Witches Brew



We had a BBQ this weekend. Our friends (the Halliday's) made homemade Root Beer. The little girls (Ashleigh, Hailey, Hannah and Megan) loved the affect of the dry ice. It entertained them for some time. They are little witches in the making :D
