A Single Flower

We went to spend the day at a Botanical garden. It always amazes me how beautiful it is…and how hard it can be to capture it in a photo. Sometimes what we see is so hard to capture…and sometimes we get lucky!

Big Cat…Little Girl

pals

Pals! Big cat or little girl! Or both.

This was taken with my Easy Share so quality is not the best but it is still one of my favorite pictures. I found them sitting on the table together and it was just too cute…had to grab my camera before they got shooed off the table!

Football Pals

We had an opportunity to watch a college football game. Right in front of us were these two friends…I think the picture says it all…

Cow Warmers, Girdles…or Oreo Cows?!

As we drove along we saw a herd of cows….wearing cow warmers…girdles…sweaters…cow blankets?? In the brief glance that we had, it looked like someone took the time to keep their cows warm in the winter…or an odd prank!

We were intrigued and looked it up on the internet to find a breed called Belted Galloways also known as Oreo Cows. Belted Galloways are a rare breed of Scottish beef cattle that was introduced to the United States back in the 1950s.

We finally made a return visit to see the Oreo Cows!

Let It Snow…

Let It Snow! It’s still quite a novelty for the girls and myself. Having grown up in Hawaii, building a snowman was a must…

I knew those Halloween lollipops would come in handy!

Simple Pleasures

It always makes me smile when I see this pic…I keep telling my husband we better treasure the days when a piece of cake, a new box of crayons, or a bottle of bubbles gives them pure joy.

We ALL Enjoy Sunrise Earth…

Our cats are fascinated by Sunrise Earth…especially the ones with the bugs! They will sit on the entertainment center or in front of the plasma simply mesmerized.

The Bearies

When the girls became noticeably attached to their Pooh Loveys…mommy had the bright idea that we needed at least eight. Two for the car, two for the crib, two to be washed and two in case we needed replacements.

As they got older, we noticed them using names…and they are able to identify who is who…yes we tested them one child at a time and without any hesitation they named each one. So here are the bearies, Goto Bear, Tivvy Beary, Kelly Bear, Jazzy Beary and Lotta Bear.

This Takes Talent…

We’d hear a pop and then jingle, jingle, jingle down the hall. A sudden movement at the foot of the bed and a cat fishing toy suddenly presented to us by Katy…

We finally caught her in action as she gracefully hops on the table…launches herself into the air…straddles the pole and pops it off the table with her body weight…
