                                                     Updated picture of Rhiannon.



Updated picture of Layla.




                   Kind of updated pic of Regina - a senior pic so it's 2 years old, but I love it.

Can't find a good one of Joey at the moment. Stay tuned.

It's such a beautiful day!    74 degrees and sunny.  Ahhhhh

I opened my front curtains and came face to face with an adorable little chickadee.  (My window ledge outside is only a couple of inches off the ground.) He/she looked right back at me for a few seconds and then flew up to the limb of a close by tree.  Chickadees are really, really cute.  I actually love to watch birds even though I am afraid of anything that flies.  At my mother's apartment complex there is a pond outside her back window where we watch ducks and geese and one awesome heron.  We think it's a blue heron.  Herons are unusual looking and acting.  We have watched it walk in ultra slow motion around the pond - never getting into the water, never swimming.  The other day it walked right past Mom's window, so we got a good close up view for several minutes before it spread its amazing wings and flew away. It was exciting!  :)  

Here's a chickadee - they're much cuter in person.

My friend Brian posted this on his Facebook page today and I responded 


"Trying to retire from the world."

I know that sounds rather negative, but sometimes I do feel that way but, never fear, not all the time.  There are days, though, when I can hardly stand to watch the news.  I wonder if people were always so awful or if they have just evolved.  

On a different note, it's 2:04 a.m. and I've been up since 5:30.  I don't know the answer as to why on either end of that spectrum.  It's damn annoying though.

Maybe later I'll comment on the stupid government shut down.  Suffice it to say I'm just totally disgusted and appalled.  Sigh.

In other news, I am waiting for my brown rice to cook although I can't remember if I put in the required amount of water so I don't know what I'll be getting.  I'm going to say it's because I don't feel too well today, but we all probably know better.  :)
