James' Squirrel

My inlaws have made friends with this little squirrel and it comes to the house wanting walnuts or pecans daily. Here my father in law is feeding it off of his knee.

Beautiful Art

Entries for an art contest at the Hirshorn Modern Art Gallery in DC. The rule was that the artist could use only one sheet of paper.

Hannah and Graci Duet

My niece was playing her clarinet and our dog Graci decided to sing along.

Think About It!

Next time you reach for that snowcone, think about it!

This 'n That

We've all put away our BBQ grills for the winter and will be so anxious to pull them back out our first warm day. I have found several stores (not just in the south) where you can get a FREE *Bar-B-Q Grill!
You can get a free BBQ grill from any of the following stores: A&P, Albertsons, Costco, Dan's, Food Lion, Fry's, Kroger Macey's, Big Lots, Brookshire's, Lowes, Publix, Safeway, Sam's Club, Target, Vons, ACE Hardware, Wal-Mart, and Winn-Dixie.
I especially like the higher rack - which can be used for keeping things warm!
*Please do not attempt to take a cart as you will be charged if caught*

Time Flies

WOW! Has it really been over a month since I had anything to put on here. I can't believe how time flies. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving this year. Chad was able to come in and helped with much of the cooking. Sarah was off work so she spent the day with us. We had a few new family members with us this year and that was so nice. Hope they can join us again next year. I am so thankful for all the many blessings that have been mine in past days and look forward to the same in days to come.

Words of Encouragement

Smile Today

An elderly Floridian called 911 on her cell phone to report that her car had been broken into. She is hysterical as she explains her situation to the dispatcher: "They've stolen the stereo, the steering wheel, the brake pedal and even the accelerator!" she cried. The dispatcher said, "Stay calm. An officer is on the way." A few minutes later, the officer radioed in: "Disregard -- she got in the back seat by mistake."
