Mr. Sun got caught in the power lines when he rose early yesterday morning, so I helped him get loose — he thanked me by shining all day.

Our corner of the world was happy to see Mr. Sun, including the flowers.

Mr. Rabbit was so happy to see Mr. Sun that he allowed me closer than I’d ever been to get a picture of him.

But Miss Ladybug was scurrying around in too big a hurry to stop and let me get a clear picture of her.  “We’re wasting daylight!” she exclaimed.

So Lucy and I sat out in the sunshine and lazed around for awhile — well, Lucy chased birds and got into things.

So then City Boy took Lucy to be washed, clipped and groomed.

 

We stayed in the house for a while and I worked on some projects while Lucy rested from her grooming ordeal.  Then City Boy and I ran some errands.  When we got back it was evening and the sun was setting.

Looking up in the sky from our front yard we saw Mr. Moon shining brightly, while blue and pink clouds danced around him.

Mr. Moon wasn’t full, but he still made a good showing.

Looking up at the sky from the back yard found some pink clouds that had decided to call it a day and head home.  

City Boy, Lucy and I decided to call it a day too.  

I thought maybe I would try to get a picture of the Supermoon my friend Cindy reminded me about.  That’s going to be tonight — how exiting!

Have an exciting night and a week full of sunshiny days!

Bunny Hopping To Texas

Last weekend City Boy and I (and, of course, Lucy) had the pleasure of being able to visit Frank’s family in Texas for Easter weekend.  It’s a long drive, but Lucy rides well and loves traveling.  I, unfortunately, don’t travel well.  So, a few hours into the seven-hour trip I started doing goofy things to stave off the boredom.

Getting out the camera is my usual go-to activity, but you know how those “blue” pictures go.  You’re speeding along a highway, so the pictures will be blurry; you’re not wanting to roll down the window, because the wind hits you and blows everything everywhere and the husband is yelling at you to close the window, but the windows are dirty and covered with raindrops, all of which shows up in the pictures; not to mention the “blue” effect that comes from shooting through a (tinted?) vehicle window — the pictures have a blue cast to them that is hard to edit out.

Now that my warnings are out of the way, I thought I’d post some of the pictures from the highways and byways that came up between Missouri and Texas.

A few “blue” pictures:

We must have passed about 15 lakes it seemed -- this is one of them that I don't know the name of

Dang, from the looks of these pictures I would have been better off napping

Lucy does very well traveling.  Here she is, riding along snuggled in amongst the luggage (a few pieces of which consist of trash bags — we travel in style).

We made a stop at Braham’s, and City Boy went in and got us some ice cream and was coming back out.  That’s not how he usually looks — he made a face when he saw me taking a “blue” picture of him through his dirty driver’s side window.

Frank has lost a lot of weight -- I think he's trying to put it all back on

Frank has lost a lot of weight — I think he’s trying to put it all back on, lol

Random boredom and more “blue” pictures — so sorry.

Ah, finally in Texas!  I think this was at the Welcome Center — I was so mind-numbingly bored by the time we arrived here that I was almost in a coma, so I didn’t even ask what this place was.  I was just elated to be here!

City Boy took this opportunity to take Lucy out of the truck, and Lucy was elated, too.  As I mentioned earlier, Frank has lost quite a bit of weight lately, and it shows.  A shopping trip for smaller clothes was in Frank’s near future — I’m proud of him.

Lucy always waits with much anticipation for Frank to return to the truck.  She hardly even knows I’m still in the truck with her.

There he is!  Oh, goody, he's coming!

We arrive at our destination, and what awaits us but a warm welcome from you-know-who!!

A wiggly Precious Baby! She looks stunned to see us!

Becca and I visited and I got to know Precious Baby — I was so excited to finally meet her!

While Frank rested, Becca and I spent a little time taking pictures of our little ever-moving bundle of joy.

She looks like she's seen a ghost!

She still looks stunned to see us!

This was SO worth every excruciating minute of being on the road to get there!  I’m not good at traveling, but I remind myself that the destination is what matters!  I really enjoyed being able to see Frank’s family, and Steven and Becca were fantastic hosts to us during our stay!  We also stayed one night with Frank’s daughter Melissa and her family before heading back to Missouri.  Thanks so much, Becca, Steven, Robert and Melissa for your hospitality — we hated to come back home!

Two Weeks of No Dull Moments

Before the Storm

Right before the snowstorm a few birds pose

Wow, what a crazy two weeks it’s been!  Never dull, and a good mix of good and not-so-good things.  By that I mean that good things help us get that nice and fuzzy feeling, and not-so-good things help us appreciate the good things.

Our internet went down.  City Boy, without warning, decided to switch carriers for our phone service.  The phone carrier we had did not provide fax access so Frank decided we needed to make it so we could send them from home.

So, I found out about the change when I went into the office one day and noticed that the big hanging paper on the wall with our phone number on it (I frequently forget my own phone number) had our old number crossed out and replaced with a different one.  When I asked Frank about it, he told me, “Oh, yeah, I switched to a different carrier, and decided to bundle.”

So that’s what all this had to do with our internet — Frank had everything switched at the same time.  This was a good thing, except our internet suddenly went down on its own.  Poof.  The beginning of two snowstorms hit us and so our whole area was without internet for that carrier.

Snowing

Right after the snow started

So, the first of many reasons for not posting this week hit us hard.

Workers were scheduled to install all three services on the day we got heavy snowfall, so we went without internet for days until technicians were able to get here and install everything.  What internet I used last week was with my phone.  Anyway, installation took all that day, and I am still unhappy with the TV service, but it’s good to have everything working again.

Megan and sons

Then, back-to-back visits from both of my daughters and their families made things extra-special.  There was snowfall all the way through, and during the visit with Emily, my daughter from Iowa, my three-year-old grandson became ill while running a fever.  He suddenly became lethargic and then lost consciousness, so we all trekked into the city following the ambulance.  Poor Brisbane was in a lot of pain, and ended up after two days and two trips to the ER to have a bad infection nobody had known about, and the sudden fever had caused him to have a seizure (his first and hopefully his last).  My daughter had to extend her visit to Missouri and stayed with us and various relatives until Brisbane was recovered enough to travel.

The first snow we had finally thawed away, and then Sunday morning we woke up to get ready for church and discovered that it was snowing hard again.  Snow may be a bit confining, but it is so beautiful!  City Boy and I went to church anyway, and after two hours of being there it was still snowing, and we drove home in a blinding, windblown snow.

So, for several days Frank, Lucy and I were all hunkered down in a warm house, snow everywhere outside, along with the fattest robin on earth living in our front porch fake plant basket (Frank feeds our resident robin and she makes all the other birds look scrawny in comparison — I think maybe we are being enablers).  Then another flu bug hit me — immunosuppresent medication has now made it so that I catch every bug that comes within a mile of me, and I’ve been sick with one thing after another since Fall.  It gets old, but it could be worse.  I’m wanting very badly to be well for our trip to Texas this weekend, so I’m working on staying that way!

For most of the pictures of Megan’s family I forgot to change the camera settings, so those pictures could have been better color-wise, lol — here are a few pictures from Frank and my activities over the past two weeks :

This is the closest thing to a photograph taken from the front of my oldest grandson I will probably ever get a nod from his mother to post online, lol.  I think it’s neat the way his eyes seem to show through the paper he’s holding.

Bobby and Michael just finishing up a wrestling match

There were so many more pictures, but most included front views of the baby or of Megan (who doesn’t like her picture taken).  So alas, only a few pictures here, but we had a great visit and evening with all of them.

Most of the time Emily and her family were here involved Emergency Room visits, but I managed to catch a few pictures of them as well.

Hopefully Brisbane is on the road to recovery and doesn’t have a repeat of anything like this — it was a traumatic and painful time for him!

It began snowing and Jay had to get back to Iowa before the worst of it hit.  Pre-storm all the way through post storm was quite a show both times!  

As a precursor to the storm, birds of every kind teemed all over the tree in our front yard.

Right before the storm birds flocked to this tree -- I only managed to capture six of them at once

The same night I took the above picture, I took another one over the same part of the back yard fence, except the snow cast a glow on everything so that the night settings on my camera made everything too bright, so this is the picture of the back yard without the night settings.

Weirdly eerie picture of the back yard

The next snow storm that came along was so fun looking to Lucy that she just had to be out in it as soon as the snow started!

So, visitors, snow, technical difficulties, a whole day of installers, illness, getting ready for our trip and just general every day life, hasn’t left room for a dull moment this past couple of weeks, and we sure don’t want any dull moments!  

Becca’s Precious Baby, who we will be meeting this weekend, is three-and-a-half months old (no WAY!!), and time has flown!  So I thought I’d add the latest pictures of her:

While we’re gone I’m hoping to be able and continue posting, and I hope all of you are gearing up for a fantastic Easter Sunday!  Only a few more days!

From Ernest Borgnine to Lucy Again

16 Saturday Feb 2013

This last month has been a real busy one for a lot of people, and City Boy and I are no exception.  Frank’s schoolwork has had to be sandwiched between work and getting things done here.  We’ve put a lot of things on the back burner, and unfortunately we’d let poor Lucy get a little…well…overgrown.

Lucy

Frank says she looked like Ernest Borgnine.  I thought she was getting a little werewolfy looking, and her long hair was getting very difficult to keep clean and harder to brush.  Even brushed, it looked like she should be running around in a dark wood with her pack of hellhounds.

So, Frank finally got a day off and made an appointment for Lucy to get a grooming.  She hates baths, so City Boy decided that, despite his embarrassment, he would forego her bath at home (he just didn’t want to give her one) and let the groomer give her one.  I was so glad I wasn’t going with him to drop her off.  I could only picture the looks of shock from the groomers.

While Frank was gone I decided to make some easy and fast cookies.  It would be a nice surprise for City Boy when he got home, and he likes treats.  Wouldn’t you know, I had everything I needed but one ingredient.  I guess I could have walked to the store, but I was irritated that Frank had not told me we had been out of butter AND margarine for a week.  Why was this Frank’s responsibility?  It isn’t, but I don’t like being irritated at myself, and it would really not make sense to blame the dog.

So, City Boy packed up a disgruntled but neat and clean Lucy from the groomer’s after she was done, and decided to get her picture before she could get home and get dirty.

1361051937864

Then I had the same idea as soon as she got home, because I know how she is.  So I caught her as she was begging to go outside, probably to dig holes and bury her nose neck deep rooting for whatever she thinks might be there, and quickly took a picture for posterity. 

Lucy

These pictures are the last anybody will see her looking this way for a while — by tomorrow she’ll look like she’s been in the barnyard running with the pigs. 

Oh, and I told Frank about my idea to make him some cookies (the ones I reblogged from Katy yesterday), and he seemed pleased.  Then I told him about the butter (I stopped short of telling him how it was his fault and all).  I think he must really have wanted cookies, because when he went to get printer ink he brought back butter, too.  So, tomorrow after church I’ll be making cookies.  You’ve heard the old saying about the way to a man’s heart, right?

Sorting Memories

This week has been sort-through-all-the-photos week.  Some I went through were very old (like the ones in a previous post I made about my dad) and some have been taken as recently as this week.  I thought I’d post some of my “finds,” but keep in mind that I did not say that all of these pictures were filled with the expertise that you have come to expect from a stellar photographer like myself (okay, stop gagging — I was being sarcastic).

I found some pictures from a family photo session of my parents and brother from a little ways back-in-the-day.  I know a bunch of old photos of people you don’t know aren’t usually all that interesting, and these were done in 1991.  But I found them kind of comical and I just had to show them to you.  These were done after my older brother and I had left home and had families of our own, so it is just my parents and younger brother Perry in the pictures.

English: Photographer: Alicia Williams User:Es...

English: Illustrations of children with Measle...

My brother was an average sweet baby, and then ended up with a bad case of Scarlet Fever when he was very young.  Back in those days Tylenol and Children’s Motrin had not been invented, and high fevers like that had to be brought down any way possible.  So, the high fevers left Perry with some damage to his brain.  Scarlet Fever exists today; they just call it a form of strep and give out antibiotics and fever reducer.  My own son had it as a kid.  But back in the day when my brother was little, it was a much bigger deal.

When my brother was around 5 he was labeled “retarded,” which was the actual clinical label they used, along with “mentally retarded” (ugh).  Fortunately nowadays, they use much less demeaning terms, such as “Special Needs.”  Anyway, that’s the only sad part of this post — flash forward about 25 years and back to how this applies to why Perry reacts certain ways to photo sessions: At an early age, Perry began to realize that he hated the flash from a camera (who can blame him?); he didn’t understand the flash, and so many pictures of him show him reacting to just that.

So, there the family was, at the photography place for a family photo, my dad, mom and brother.  First they started with my brother by himself, because my parents wanted a great picture of just him.

Perry

Nope, try again.

Perry

Cover of "My Name Is Earl - The Album"

Nope, not this time either.  This looks like “My Name Is Earl.” 

On the third try (some sort of record; it usually took more times than three!) a picture of him with his eyes open finally emerged.

Perry

Doesn’t he look happy??

Next were the family shots.  As each progressive picture is taken with Perry’s eyes closed in them, Mom’s expression gets progressively unhappy.  Dad, on the other hand, looks great in all of the pictures!

Family Photo

Finally, the photographer gets a shot in which Perry looks great — eyes open, pleasant look on his face — perfect!  Except that Mom has finally lost total interest in even looking at the camera.  Woops.

Family Photo

Well, better luck next year.

Anyway, I thought they were funny (guess you had to be there)!  

Here’s another set of photos (not very good quality ones taken by me) from when I moved a full-length mirror into the living room and Lucy saw herself for the first time.  The mirror is directly in front of where she is staring …

Lucy In Mirror

Lucy In Mirror

Lucy In Mirror

Lucy In Mirror

Aw, she doesn’t like the mirror any more and this next look says it all:

“Please get that scary other dog away from me!”

Lucy Scared

Who could resist a plea like that?  So, I moved the mirror back where it belonged — away from Lucy.

A week or so ago I tried to get a picture of the sky one evening just when the sun was slipping down.  When you live in town it’s hard to get a decent picture of that because of my number one nemesis in photographing outdoors, power lines and power poles.  So, I captured a few pictures, one out my back door and one out my front door, of what little of the sky did not have power lines or poles, or rooftops.

Winter Sky

Winter Sky

 I’m really pumped to go a little ways out of town and take some really nice pictures of trees and sky — but (sound of whining) it’s cold!  I’ll muscle some fortitude up one of these days soon, because there are really pretty sunrises and sunsets to be photographed (assuming I can get my butt out of bed to do the former).

So ends today’s random photo display — I really do hope you got a kick out of some of it!  

Today’s reminder:

5881202_sRemember your special someone on Valentine’s day!!  Six more days to prepare something really awesome!

A Winter Night At Our House

CREAM OF WHEAT, BOYS PLAYING FOOTBALL

Tonight may have been no different from any other night.  City Boy watched football, something he loves to watch and I don’t.  He tried to impress upon me that this game was important because it led up to some sort of reward (trophy maybe?).  It was Baltimore and Denver, but it may as well have been Europe and Iceland for all I knew about football.  I don’t even know who won.

Don’t get me wrong, I do know how football is played, what constitutes a score, and all that stuff.  In college I watched football quite a bit, but it was more interesting because the players were people I knew, and that made it somehow more watchable and less boring.  But I’m not the avid watcher that everyone in Frank’s family is, and most people in my family are.

English: After the rain: "water football&...

So, City Boy came in after the game and said, “Oh, is it raining?”

“It’s been raining for hours.  Did you not even get up to get a drink of water or take a break during commercials?”

“I just thought it was wind I was hearing,” he said, “and I kinda knew it was supposed to rain.”

He looked out the window.  “No,” he said, “it’s beyond rain, it’s ice now.”

English: Soldier wearing night vision goggles.

Frank suggested I get a picture of the ice glistening off the trees.  I told him it was too dark outside and that my camera does not double as night vision goggles, not to mention that I really didn’t want to stand outside in the wet, 19-degree weather even for a few minutes.  But, he kept mentioning it (I guess maybe he felt I needed entertaining), so I gave it a couple of shots through the window.  Well, okay, so I don’t like going outside by myself at night.  It’s not like he was offering to escort me out there.  

Once I’d taken a few nighttime shots with my daytime camera, City Boy seemed to feel that he had kept me occupied enough.

Ice on Tree

Ice On Tree

LucyCity Boy ate a snack in the bedroom later on (eating on the bed has become more comfortable since his foot surgery), and scroungy Little Dog appeared from nowhere.  Whenever it rains, Lucy looks like a stray from the moment she goes out in it, even when she’s just had a bath.  She loves rain and snow, and makes sure she brings a lot of it in with her.  That’s why she is not allowed in our room, because we don’t want our sanctuary looking and smelling funky.  So when Frank sat on the bed and started eating, Lucy deserted her toys in favor of standing at the door and staring longingly at the Guy With The Food.

So now, at bedtime, we find ourselves wondering if driving to church in the morning will be safe for a guy with a compromised foot and a woman who is a bad driver.  Sigh.

Another exciting evening passes at our little corner of the world, and somehow we’re still awake.  Gosh, we’re getting more and more like an old couple all the time.

The Dog

Dog, Humor, miniature schnauzer, Pet, schnauzer

We didn’t used to be the kind of people that thought it was cute to dress a dog up in outfits and take them everywhere we went.  Notice I’m speaking in past tense.

City Boy has always been a bit rough around the edges.  After his twenty years in the military he seemed, well, gruff.  His children’s friends were always scared of him until they got to know him, and even adults have said that their first impression of him the minute they saw him was that he might be mean.  

Just so you know, he’s really a teddy bear, but he just has a look and manner that make some people think he is more grizzly bear.  So, when Lucy was given to us, he did not look pleased.  That’s why it amazes everyone that HE is the one who buys her clothes and treats and dresses her up and takes her places.  One whole rack in his closet is full of little outfits for Lucy.

Image

And, she IS a cute dog–when she hasn’t been running around outside and is looking all scraggly.  So, I’ll just have to post a picture of her in her little Halloween outfit this evening.  I know, I know–I can see the eye rolls already.  But, I made the outfit, altered it after she gained a bunch of weight (which the vet seems to think is just fine), and by-george, she’s going to wear it in a picture.

Frank gets after me when I call her things other than her name.  I really hate her name, but she already had it when we got her, and it’s even on her breeding papers, for pete’s sake.  Her full name is Lucy Boo Boo, and I’m letting you know now that we would never have named her that.

So, if I am annoyed with her I say things like, “Listen here, little dog, you’re not a pig so quit rooting around like one,”  or “Little dog, get out of that (fill in the blank)!”  She’s really a good little dog–Frank just hates it when I call her that.

This blog will not end up being a saga about our little dog’s daily life, but every now and then I will probably post about Lucy.  After all, I guess she lives here too.
