A Surprise

Richard had gotten a deer the other day with his muzzleloader...I knew he had given it

to a co-worker...so imagine my surprise yesterday morning when after hanging

laundry I turned around to go back to the house and saw this......

not a nice surprise! haha!

Tyler was at the house when he came home with the deer...he looks appropriately disgusted.haha!

Rocket Science and the Deer

I was walking around the Mae yard the other day and came across this rocket.  The 

Science class at school had blasted rockets off on the track a few days and apparently

this one was off course...

Sure glad to have an orange and white parachute hanging in our Sweet Gum tree...not!

Two buck rubs in the Mae field...probably not more than 100 yards from our house....wish

I could have seen the deer doing this! That would have been neat!

Thursday Photo Dump

Time to clean off my camera card! View of Missouri's capital from the North.

Richard bought me these foil wrapped chocolate turkeys after Thanksgiving...yum!

Cyber Monday

Spent Cyber Monday out and about....first to the Post Office...

Then the bank.....

And the store....

This is a little disturbing....on my way from the bank to the store I saw this kitten gnawing on

some road kill by the highway in front of the welfare office.....When I came back from the store, it

was still there so I pulled over...I took a picture of it and considered trying to get it out of the 

danger zone...but, figured if I came up on it from behind, it would run into the highway...and

if I came up to it from in front, I would be in the highway, so I left and hoped it would not get hurt..

Sarah had to take Tyler to the Dr. that afternoon, so I rode along to help.. I sat in the car with him

while she ran into Walmart to pick up a couple things....

Poor little guys was sooo sick....

While we were in the parking lot, he started saying "orange lights"....he spotted this wrecker..

He really likes his toy wreckers...

Then to Kohl's where she ran into get a shirt..

And to the Dr...which took a while, but the end result was several days

later he was back to his old self!

Stopped here for a quick snack on the way home....

And our last stop..for his meds....

I was glad I was able to go along and "help"...and that his Mom was willing to let me go!

Thanksgiving

These pictures were taken looking North from our house the day before Thanksgiving....it got even

foggier after I took these and I couldn't even see the trees...I thought it was neat!

Our little turkey! His mom made this cute shirt for him for the special day..

Richard and Tyler found this bird nest in one of our bushes on Thanksgiving Day.

Like the wooden bowl....and the fruit....

Sunset  a couple days after Thanksgiving.

Sock Monkey on a Horse

Sock Monkey riding the little rocking horse we had as kids...

Poinsettia I bought to take to church in memory of my Dad and Richard's Mom..

It's the biggest one I have ever seen!

Trying Something Out

Just trying out a new way to get my pix on here.....Have been out of the blog world for

a while now.....the machine told me I was at my max allowed space for pictures....

We'll see 1. If this works....2. If I can remember how I did it! haha! This picture was

taken last Sunday...first weekend of December, and was warm enough to BBQ...

Note the bag of redneck charcoal!

Richard warmed up the spinach for dinner the other night ...lots of butter....lol

I took these pictures a couple days ago...poor plants are so confused...some are

blooming on Dec. 7!

Hope this works!
