Ain't He Grand??

Reality Talent Shows..I'm Hooked!

My poor hubby Bill probably feels so abandoned lately. I swore to myself I'd never get hooked on any reality tv. But then along came American Idol (or as Bill calls it, American Idiot). I've watched it since Season 2 and get really excited on Tuesday and Wednesday nights because I know it will be on tv.

Just as Bill was breathing a sigh of relief because the Finale was over, I hit him with the news...

So You Think You Can Dance starts tonite!! And that's not all...Last Comic Standing starts next week! AND, to top that off, America's Got Talent starts in the Summer!!!

TV...here I come!

Poor Bill....

Woke Up Singing an Adult Song

For the first time in months, I woke up singing an adult song instead of Blues Clues or Backyardigans. Thank you Taylor Hicks, for planting your new "Do I Make You Proud" song in my head..it's a refreshing change, LOL!

And to answer your song question:

Yes, you DO make me proud!

Cool..I just thought of something...wouldn't it be awesome if Chris and Taylor cut an album together? That would be some gooood music!

Ladies and Gentlemen...Your American Idol Is

Whooooooo!!! Soul Patrol!!

Way to go Taylor...I knew you could do it! Congratulations to the Silver Haired Fox..can't wait to buy your cds:)

Gooooo Taylor!!!!

I'm so excited! Tonite is the long awaited American Idol sing off between Taylor Hicks and Katherine what's her name....I can't WAIT to see what Taylor brings out next!

Goooo Taylor....Knock Our Socks Off!

Katherine..Go Home!

SPLAT!!

Last week I was sitting outside in my chair, watching the birds and psyching myself up for my CT scan. I filled all of my feeders and sat down to watch. I was enjoying myself and felt very calm until....

SPLAT!

I felt something hit my shoulder with a splash..inches from my coffee cup. I looked over and there was purplish bird poop on my clothes! I admit, my favorite color is purple, but NOT in the form of bird shit.

I think that Blue Jay better lay off the blackberries for awhile...

Happy Mother's Day to my Mom

THERE ISN'T A DAY OF THE YEAR THAT I DON'T LOVE YOU!!

Relax Mom..You Are My Queen for a Day

Here's Your

And Here's Your

Thank you for being the BEST MOM in the WORLD to Me, Holly, Micah, Logan, and Molly, and the BEST GRANDMA in the WORLD to Ashley and Michael.

We Love You More Than Anything on This Earth, and hope you have a Very Special Day!

Excuse Me, Do You Have Any Light Up Thongs?

That's exactly what my Mom asked a store clerk today at CATO. The store clerk looked at Mom kind of funny. Mom and I both realized at the same time that the girl thought she was asking about light up thong underwear! She quickly rephrased her question to say, I mean Flip Flops, NOT underwear. It was the funniest thing...you just had to be there to get a kick out of it I guess:)

Thong undies that light up...hmmm, interesting concept, LOL!

Pink Striped Animals

They really should put a note on paint cans..something like:

Warning: Do Not Attempt to Paint With Animals Hanging Around!

I did some house painting yesterday. Everything was going along smoothly until Tom the sometimes overly friendly cat decided he would rub against the door trim. Apparantly he didn't see the Wet Paint sign. I washed his face off as much as I could and went back to work. About 15 minutes later, Bill came out with Caligula the dog to do their daily walk. Cal saw Tom and took off after him. Knocked the paint stirrer (with wet paint on it) off the table and it splattered him in the face on the way to the ground.

So now I have a cat and a dog with matching wild plum stripes on their faces.

Animals...Gotta Love Em!

The Mockingbird Serenade

Every evening, as I sit outside sipping my coffee and watching the world go by from my hammock chair, I am serenaded with the most beautiful songs. There are 2 Mockingbirds that come every day. One sits in the top of a tall Cedar tree, and the other sits on the telephone pole. Each day brings different tunes..lots of bird calls with an occasional cell phone ring. They sing for a couple of hours, then they take flight to see what songs they can pick up for the next days serenade.

Ahh Nature..Gotta Love It!

Aunt Ruth

Yesterday, we said our final goodbye and paid tribute to a beautiful lady. I didn't get to see her very often, but I'll never forget her. When you walked into a room where she was, the first thing you'd see was her smile. She always walked proud and tall, and had kind words for everyone. She was a beautiful woman on the outside as well as on the inside. She was full of love and kindness. The only regret I have is that I didn't get to spend more time with her. She lived her life to the fullest up until the very end, then God took her to Heaven where she's no longer in pain.

Goodbye Aunt Ruth..say hello to Granny Green, Aunt Katy, Uncle H.C, Uncle Bill, Uncle Chock, and Uncle E for me..we will miss you until we meet again.
