A Bad Hair Day

The next time you think you're having a bad hair day .... think about this poor Alpaca.  Someone decided that he would look good disguised as the world's largest poodle!

My Dream Crushed??


Those who know me know that I've been dreaming of one thing for this coming summer break.  I want to buy a hammock and lie there reading all summer ... well not seriously, but the thought of relaxing is like an elixir for me and I wouldn't mind doing some time in my hammock.
But then this happened ......


This gi-normous tree branch fell off of our huge oak tree (taking my clothesline with it) right on the very spot that I wanted to put my hammock!!  That would have hurt.  I may still spend my summer in the hammock, I'll just have to wear a helmet.

Can You Guess What These Are....



How about now???


Or now???


 How about now??



I'll give you a hint...





That's right ... fresh bamboo!  When it was first given to me, it didn't look like something that I would want to eat ... in fact I thought that it resembled a rhinoceros horn ... but I decided to be daring and give it a try.  How bad could it be ... panda's thrive on it, right?!  The family has pronounced it good.  It doesn't add much flavor but it does add a nice texture and I'm proud that we all tried something new.

So Talented

OK.... I might be ever so slightly prejudiced because they're mine but they are two very talented young men.

BTW...This is a song that Anthony wrote

Two of My Boys


Steve and I had the privilege of spending the weekend alone with Anthony last Saturday and Sunday.  I think it's the first time that we've been alone with him in 21 years!  To say that we fought over who would sit next to him would be an exaggeration ... but only slightly!
This picture was taken at the Newburgh Assembly Hall on Saturday 5/3.

Why Blog?

Why not?  Everyone's doing it.  Everyone has something to say.  Shouldn't I?  Or would it be best to employ the old adage "better to remain silent and appear a fool than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt"  No, I think I'll jump on the blogger bandwagon and attempt to find something witty or informative or somewhat amusing to share with the world.  Or my world.  If nothing else perhaps this will reduce the number of e-mails that I have to write .... and never get around to writing.
