NEW FAMILY MEMBERS

I just watched "The News" tonight and it talked about how the Austin area deer population is getting more aggressive. They showed some very disturbing videos.

My view of that topic (again probably political!) is that the deer population is just trying to take care of themselves, as we all are.

I have a mom and baby who have been in my backyard for a couple of months.  I'm pretty sure mom was here last year too, with another baby.

They help me with yard work.  They don't ask for towels.

Mom comes over and lays with baby a lot.  She is never far away.

I keep water out for them (I know not to feed them!!!)

They're not aggressive.  They just want their space.  And I let them have it.

I sit in my chair in the backyard, and they lay about 20 feet away. We just watch each other.

BUT, when I reach for my camera during those times, they run away.
Just like the rest of my family!!

IDIOTS & MORONS

OK!
I never get political here, but I have to tell you, I am so, so, so, so tired of hearing about these three guys...

Arnold.

What can I say...  A complete moron!  Didn't we always know that, though?!

John.

I was a supporter for a while!  I was wrong!  I admit it.

Weiner.

The KING of them all right now... makes me want to take a shower.

Just why?  Don't you think that's what everybody is asking?  Why?

I've never known anybody (hopefully) that looks in a mirror at ANY point in their lives and thinks now THAT is worth taking a picture of and showing people.

What an unbelievable idiot.  

I'm reminded of the SEINFELD episode about "shrinkage".  Elaine is talking to Jerry and George and says, "I just don't know how you guys walk around with those things".

Well said, Elaine!  It's a huge (no pun intended!) responsibility.

SINGLE, WIDOW, NOT MARRIED

Hi friends,

I've been away for a while.  Dealing with things.  And dealing with ME.
HUSBAND is gone, as you know.

Single, Widow, Not Married.  Those are my options for these new forms I'm having to fill out now that I am one of those things... after 37 years.

So each day I TRY my best to get out of bed (and it's hard).

SON and DAUGHTER are having the same problem.

Dang, we just never saw this coming!!

So, DAUGHTER sent this yesterday, as she was trying to do something out of the norm, and get a bit of a vacation in the process.  She and her Dad were really close.  REALLY close!  I'm hoping she had a blast!

Here's the picture...

I like it very much!!

I'm trying to have that attitude each day, too.  Can't seem to do it right now, though, but I'm trying, damn it.

So, apparently, I am ALL of these things,  "SINGLE, WIDOW, NOT MARRIED".

In my head & life, I'm not single or a widow and I'm still married.

I'm just sad.

Plus more.

Happier blogs to come..........
