Deer in the back yard

Yesterday while dong dishes I looked out the window and saw a beautiful young deer looking right back at me. I called Ted and he and Samantha (our 16 month old granddaughter) came out to see too. The deer was curious and didn't even run when Mike drove in. Mike joined us at the window and the deer just kept watching back. I got a few pictures of it. When it turned to walk back into the woods, Samantha just pointed and said, "Oh, oh, oh, oh!".

Memorial Day Parade

The Memorial Day Parade in Cambridge was a lot of fun. I'm adding a picture of the Cambridge Fireman's band. My Sister-in-law and her daughter are carrying the banner and her husband is the band director. My husband is also marching in the band. What a beautiful day!

Two Pictures added of me, my daughter and Warwick Castle, England

It's about time I added some pictures of our trip to Alconbury, England to visit Alexandria, Scott, Chad and Zachary. We had such a great time and took so many pictures! I'll try and find time to figure out flickr and add some extra pictures.

Today is kind of gray but at least its stopped raining for now. The grass is growing as are the weeds but it's been to wet to do much about them. Will be moving furniture and refinishing the floor in the living room soon. (Hoping for today but trying not to get my hopes up...) I will be painting a little bit on the one bookcase wall and doing some trim work on the cubboards. I also bought some beautiful (at least I think beautiful) fabric for sheers and a valance. I'll do some befores and afters and post them (hopefully). Stay tuned...

Hello again

Well, three posts in one day....amazing and the dog is still waiting. I didn't re-tag people who were previously tagged - but I thought about it...

I was tagged by Kerry and now you're it....

Tag, you're it...

I have to post 7 Random facts/habits about myself and pick 7 people to tag...
1. First random fact - I don't have 7 blogs to tag....oh well...the thought is there.
2. My sense of humor is a little off - I really amuse myself mostly...
3. I love green - in all flavors
4. My dog is waiting for me to go in and sit on the couch so he can jump up next to me and go to sleep. : - )
5. I enjoy black velvet and gingerale and have also been known to like a cold Carona myself Kerry.
6. Creating is a life blood and I think I even dream about it.
7. Even though the dog is waiting - I'm really a cat person - but I'd deny that to the dog.

Here are the rules:
You have to list 7 Randon facts/habits about yourself and pick 7 people to tag. You leave a comment on their blog to tell them they have been tagged and to read about it on your blog.

Tempest Fugit!

Wow, my last post was April 1st! That was forever ago now. We went to England, saw a castle, tall clock, parliment and gardens as well as Buckingham palace and we're home. Seems like a dream. Back to work and home and all that comes with it. The weather is great now though. It was in the 80s today and wonderfully sunny. Couldn't have asked for better. Well, more later and hope to post some pictures.

April 1

Beautiful sunny day in upstate NY. We've had warm - 62 degree weather today. Haven't been working on dolls much. Trying to get ready for our trip to England. We leave Thursday evening. Bought a couple of new suitcases and making lists. Is this fun? Oh well - the trip will be great. Can't wait to see the family. Tomorrow is Zachary's 9th birthday - Happy Birthday to my Zack-man!
