    Happy Father’s Day

    June

    2005

    To all the dads out there today who interact with their kids, who are there to guide them and nurture them and give their kids the fatherly love and attention that every kid needs and deserves, who reacted to their thoughtful Father’s Day cards with tears welling up in their eyes; to the dads who are missing their kids today because they’re defending our Country, I would just like to recognize you guys and say “Happy Father’s Day”, and thanks.

    To all the moms out there who act as mother and father in your household, I commend you and wish you a Happy Father’s Day, too. ‘Cause if you do both jobs, you should get two days of special recognition every year.

    😀

  • I wish…

    Here’s another pic I took the other day while out with the mallards, why he chose to bend this way I do not know, lemme hear your captions!

    Caption this!
    (As many times as you want to, just for fun!)

    I wish I may I wish I might, have this wish I wish tonight.

    I wish that you could call creditors, and say something like “oops, I am completely out of checks, I’ll put an order in for more today and when they come in, I’ll send you one, mkay?” and that they would say “hey! that’s perfect! thanks for calling and letting us know, we love ya! no late charges!”

    Wouldn’t that be nice? Because it’s not that I can’t pay our bills, it’s just that “write out the checks day” makes me think about not having anything left when I’m done, so I put it off as long as possible just so that I can sigh a happy and content sigh when I see my current balance.

    Sigh.

    (As many times as you want to, just for fun!)

    I have filled the last few days with fun little outings for the girls. Yesterday we picked up a few loaves of bread and headed down to the river to feed the ducks, where I also saw (and took a horrible picture of) a Blue Heron. The girls and I went out to lunch, and then we did some Father’s Day shopping! It was fun, they picked out new pajamas for themselves and when we got home Chickeymonkey asked every 5 minutes if it was time to get ready for bed yet, and put her PJ’s on at around 6PM.

    And I did something yesterday, that I can’t tell anybody I did yet, because when you’re like me and you announce such a thing and suddenly people know about it, everything backfires and then you undo what you did. Just out of spite, or something. So I’m not telling. 😛

    I sketched out a big painting on Sunday too, but haven’t starting slopping the paint on yet, because I’ve been spending time with the girls this week. So I’m gonna work on that. I’ll show you what it is later. And then I will be painting another Tortie Cat named Lucy, she’s a beauty!!

    There you go, all caught up. See? That wasn’t so hard was it? heh.

    Caption that duckling!

    Last year my bestest friend ever (we’re going on 20 years or something, gawd I feel old) and Caitibug’s Godmom (Pidigaige! Where are you?!) gifted us with the most thoughtful gift. Talk about someone who knows you like the back of her hand! We’re on the last couple of months of our Annual Zoo Membership (hint hint? hehe) so we went over there today. It’s a small zoo, really, if you crawl at a snails pace you can make the trip last 2 hours. You just have to stop and talk to every single critter.

    Of course every time we go I get different shots of the same critters. I decided that instead of just throwing them all up here for eye candy all at once, I’ll let you caption them. Sound okay? Here’s your first Caption Contest – but really there’s no contest, captions are just fun. Many of them are “what am I thinking” type captions, but this one, well, you tell me!

    Lisa, my buddy over at E.Webscapes is going to be giving my gallery a facelift beginning today (unless those daggone fish in the lake start calling her name), and I’ll be hanging around getting things purdyful on my end.

    I’ll be here allllllllllll day, pretty much, I think.

    Keep me company, wouldjya? Leave me a comment, tell me what you’re up to this weekend. Have great weather? Going swimming? Yardwork? Or are you gonna stay in the A/C and avoid the humidity as much as possible?

    Maybe I’ll surf a bit and share some fun links with you. I have to admit, my stats here on my blog are making me feel like I’m b.o.r.i.n.g. the heck out of you guys. Where else do you guys go? Share some linkage with me!

    C’monnnn throw me a bone, I’m gonna be staring at my monitor anyway, gimme something to look at!

    WAKE UP!!!!!!

    Okay finish rubbing and sqwishing your eyes together before you go on. That was a pretty punchy head-on view of our sunrise, huh? Since I’m working on something “top secret no works in progress allowed” right now, I’ll just show ya what’s going on in My Big Back Yard.

    We have one peony blooming. This is it. She’s beautiful, and this was how she looked when that morning sunrise hit her yesterday morning. (I’m still sqwishing my eyes from resizing these down from full size. I know how you feel.)

    Here’s Mr. Moon. My daughters both have fits that Mr. Moon doesn’t go to bed when the sun comes out, so I dedicate this one to them. Just because I like to confuse and bewilder my children.

    Here’s our Fat Bird. Kindof like Fat Albert, only it’s a Cowbird. He’s not quite matured, hangs out with the sparrows on the ground around the feeders, and all he does is – well – guess. Eat. I don’t know how he manages to get his butt off the ground, but he does. He even waddles, like a duck! What a funny little bird. It’s so sad that they grow up to be parasitic, egg-thieving, nest hoarding birds. Nature’s order I guess, but I don’t have to like it! 😛
