Lake Ontario

Here are some great pictures a family member sent me today of Lake Ontario. I thought they were so beautiful I had to share! I hope everyone enjoys them as much as I did.

My attempt!

Here is my attempt to take a picture of the eclipse. When my camera doesn't have the flash on it is almost impossible to get a good picture. In the end I grabbed Taylor's video camera and took a video. Maybe later I can post it on my blog when I figure out how to do it.

My Wound

This is a little gross but I had to share. It's a funny story but happened to be very painful. I dropped a wooden crate on my ankle wednesday morning when I was out barefooted and in the rain trying to keep my poodles away from our dog Sammy. The poodles were in heat and he was about to pounce on one of them. I dropped this heavy crate on my foot and I thought I would die at that moment! HA! You know how overexaggerated one can be when something painful occurs! It really hurt so bad I could barely walk! Taylor walks around the corner to get on the bus and there he finds his mother humped over moaning! I am sure it was a site to see! I finally made my way inside and felt the need to crawl throughout the house, but I didn't! HA! My foot immediately swelled up and I continued on my day of work and all the other "mother" things I do during a day. I looked handicapped but I made it! To this day I still have bruising on the whole back of my foot and it hurts to wear a shoe with a back on it. HA! I am such a baby.

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY

Here's Tamra posing with all of her Valentines. Two little boys gave her some things as well as her family. She really racked up this year.

I received 2 dozen roses plus four more for a total of 28 at work on Valentines. I'm not sure why 28 but that's what I got. The vase and arrangement was so huge I had to leave them at work. I finally brought some home and kept a few a work. It was really too much. I like flowers but can't help but feel it is a huge waste of money.

Youth Day In Alabama

TAYLOR AND PAPAW KENNY HEADED TO ALABAMA AGAIN FOR 'YOUTH DAY'. THIS YEAR WILL BE TAYLOR'S LAST YEAR TO GO AS A YOUTH. HE WILL BE TOO OLD NEXT TIME AROUND.
THEY LEFT ON FRIDAY MORNING AND ARE DUE BACK SOMETIME LATE SUNDAY EVENING. WHEN I LAST TALKED TO TAYLOR HE HAD KILLED QUITE A FEW BIRDS. HE'S LOOKING TO KILL ONE IMPARTICULAR BIRD BUT I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THAT IS! HA! SORRY, DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT BIRD HUNTING.
IT IS CURRENTLY VERY WINDY AND FREEZING OUTSIDE! I PRAY FOR A SAFE DRIVE HOME!

Learner's Permit!!

Congrats to Taylor! He passed his learner's test last monday and has been driving as often as he can. He isn't really driving in this picture only making a pose! HA! His mother has been having panic attacks but otherwise everything is going great! HA!

Superbowl Sunday

This day isn't very exciting for me but I know others have a ball on Superbowl sunday. I dropped Taylor off at his Youth minister's home for a Superbowl party. We were invited to my aunt and uncles for a party but Tamra and I chose to stay home and relax. I'm not much for partying when I can sit around and relax! HA!
