great pix, Kay!! ... I see turkeys (5-20 at a time) all the time (looking for a boyfriend!) ...and yesterday saw 3-4 pheasant hens ...

sorry about your mom's 'disting' you, Sandy ... just remember - you can say no ... and then write it down ... because when 'they' come back to say YOU didn't help .. you can say .. well, on this day and that one .. and this is when Jim & I dropped everything in the winter to help .. and this is the thanks I got ... then let'em squirm!

having my coffee with ya, Jenn!! next tax stuff and quilting ... already finished the dishes and shower/shot .. good to go!

Hey Tricia - isn't watching little kids a hoot?? ... I have to admit, I'd be right beside DD17 to sign up for the raffle ... we have a few 'good men' here that I wouldn't mind 'winning'! LOL

Renee - so, how much are you charging to rent out your new toy??

**UPDATE**
working on filling up my calendar for this year, trips, visits .... getaways ...

tax returns are still coming in .. have to say it's been a good year .. plus school ... A-OKay ..

about the new guy - I've decided [Hermy (Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer) ... says: I'm INDEPENDENT ... I don't want to be an elf, I want to be a dentist!] that I welcome all friends ... don't want to get into that 'romantically delayed' syndrome ...

he knows my number and that I still live up here ... I have things to do - things to quilt, a corporation to establish ... and bills to pay .. I can always use help ... but not going to worry about it anymore (just can't!) ...

so, off I go ... fixing up the tin-condo.... can't afford to move .. but I can still build my lighthouse by next summer!

have a great day! will check up on you all lay-ta!! ta-ta
