Wild Birds

The winter birds are enjoying the sunflower seeds I keep out for them.
I think this is a pair of some kind of Sparrow. The one on the left has a lot of red so it must be a HE.

I Voted

Craig & I got up early, well I did, and was at the polls at 6:40am.
This is the line behind us at 6:52.
There was about 30-35 people in front of us.
Voting went smoothly for me, was done and out at 7:21.
For Craig, someone took the PEN so he had to go call for one,
when the guy who had it said sorry & gave it back.
Then the scanner didn't want to take his ballot, he hd to try about 3-4 times.
And he has the cold/flu and missed 2 days work.

NOT JOE

I'm NOT "Joe the Plummer"!!!!

****I PAY MY TAXIES****

Go Vote

I'm waiting till tuesday.

Craig & I like to go together and hopefully stand in a loooooong line.

Voting is your birthright, so use it, don't lose it

OBAMA--- OBAMA ALL THE WAY.

Rays

This is the jersey that the Devil Rays wore on thier openning day!
I think is was in 1997. Where I was working, we framed a jersey everyday for a year.
The jerseys was auctioned off for charity. Since I did most of the work, Randy gave me
a jersey. The Rays was very picky on the jersey count too.
When I wasn't working on them they had to be kept locked up.
NOW the Rays are playing in the World series!!!!!!

Old Times at Laurelbrook

School Banquet-----------I'm 2 on left front row, ------------ Me on left
----------------------- Sister Linda in red (4 right)-----------------------

I was going through some old photos and I came across these.
They brought back the bad old days at slave camp LB!!!
This is a BIG deal at LB, kinda like a school prom, but without the dance or a real date with someone you might like. You were paired up with a guy of the Zollinger 's choice.
I was always paired with the sorriest guy in school, you know, the one who picks his nose. Hell, my regular dinning room seat was with Claudia, I know she couldn't help it, but this poor very over weight girl smelled and she had skin rash that flaked off and she scratched ALL the time.
Oh well, back to the prom. All the girls that year had to sew their dress, along with all the other jobs you had. and if you didn't have folks to buy the material & sewing notions, you could do EXTRA work, like babysit the Zollinger's brats, and then the school would get your stuff for you. NO, you didn't get to go to Dayton and buy your own stuff, you might run away and try getting LB in trouble. ha ha
Gotta go see if Slave Camp LB has gone to court yet.
See Ya

I've been BLESSED!!!!!!! (lol)
Look , this dove on my backyard bird feeder has the "Mother Mary" on her chest.
Sure wish I could catch her and sell her on EBay, I could get rich. I know there's a lot of folks out in the world, unlike me, who'd believe its a MIRACLE. Craig says that Doves are good to eat, I personally don't care to find out if that's true. I like the Cardinal's and Parrots the best, they are loud and colorful. I wake up to the music from the birds everyday, lots better than the dogs next door.

Laurelbrook--(LB)

I see that slave camp Laurelbrook has a new bolg site
http://laurelbrook22.adventistschoolconnect.org./
The school has a court date starting the week of August 18.
Sure wish I could be there to watch them get whatever hell the Gov. can give them.
All those folks who read Linda's blog and was upset on her observation of how the churches have changed over the years should spend some time at Laurelbrook!!!!! Laurelbrook is no better then the poor folks in Texas where the state came in & took all the kids. The only difference, that I see, is LB only has high school age kids to do ALL the SLAVE jobs. Plus the kids are not allowed to have boyfriend/girlfriend relationship, unless you want to do free labor, after you have worked 6 hours and school for 4 hours , (dig up a tree stump). I see they had 5 kids graduated this year, poor things, now they need to take the GED test to get into any normal college.
For the Government folks who read my blog, PLEASE call me!!! I'm on your side, 30 plus years later I still hate LB, Bob & Ruthie Z, The Olsons( for killing my dog) and all it stands for.

Spring Time

Daddy Cardinal

Baby Cardinal photo by SandyZ
Spring, to me, is the best time of the year. The flowers are in bloom and the trees are bright green with all thier new leaves. Every spring I get to watch the Daddy cardinal teach the baby how to eat from the feeder. Here is a photo I got of the baby. I was surprized he was even looking at me. Enjoy Spring!!!

New Babies!!!

One Red male, Two females


CherryBarb Fish We have triplets!!!!
yep, our Cherry Barb laid about 300 eggs and we ended up with 3 babies. That is very good because you suppose to seperate the fish from the eggs and feed the new babies just hatched brine shrimp.

Baby is on the light rock next to the tip of the red rock (click on him to enlarge.)

Work in progress

We have been working on a 75 gallon fish tank for some time. First we moved my tiny, no window, kitchen to my 8x10, with window, utility room. Installed a tankless water heater and a reverse osmosis system. Lucky we had water and electric from the old sink being there. We ran the tubing to the ice maker and to my new sink for cooking & drinking. Its still a work in progress. My kids gave us lots of rock and we had some wood & stones so now we have bunches of hiding places for my fishies. We've been getting the tank seeded with bio balls from our 30 gal. tank. We added 3 fishies to the tank and a few plants and all seem to be doing ok.

Fun Web site

I have added new photos to my site if you'd like to check them out.
I also found this fun site to take little test from your brain smarts to drug smarts.
All you nurses should do good on that test, ha ha I don't care if I do bad on these test I just blame it on LEAD poisoning as a child, before moving to Carver Creek. There we didn't have painted walls, come to think about it we didn't even have walls the frist year, but we did have snow on the bed, and kreo oil on the school room floors.
