Homer

Meet Homer, my new pet. He is a Yellow-Naped Amazon Parrot. He is about 14 inches tall and quite the chatty bird. He learns things very easily.

Tables on the patio 

These are some pretty cool patio tables my sister made with a bunch of shells and a little imagination. I was supposed to send these to you eons ago, Mom. Sorry, I forgot all about them. 

Do you know this masked man?

We're Melting

Dear Mother Nature,

We are melting. Please back off the heat for awhile. Is it really necessary for it to be 98 degrees with a heat index of 110 degrees? The cats want to be shaved but fear a sunburn. The dogs are sitting in their water bowls. Give us a break, will ya?

Flickr

On the advice of someone swell, I got a picture do-hickey called Flickr. I have been messing with it to learn how to do a lot of things. I think I finally got the hang of it so everyone can go look at some interesting pictures. I am going to have to keep up with this. It's really neat. Thanks, Jr.!

My squirrel-proof bird feeder pole. Hang the feeders on the hooks at the top of the pole and there is NO WAY a squirrel can get to it. (Took about 45 minutes) :) 

Warning!

"TOWEL HEADS"

Recently I received a warning about the use of this politically incorrect term, so please note, we all need to be more sensitive in our choice of words.

I have been informed the Islamic terrorists, who hate our guts and want to kill us, do not like to be called "Towel Heads", since the item they wear on their heads is not actually a towel, but in fact, a small folded sheet.

Therefore, from this point forward, please refer to them as "Little Sheet Heads." Thank you for your support and compliance on this delicate matter.

And, God Bless America.

My good friend Leisa making a very funny face.  

KANE

The lastest addition to Robert and Laurie's herd. Too cute. His name is KANE. Not to be confused with Kane. :) KANE is named after the immortal warrior, sorcerer, philosopher and statesman as written about by author Karl Edward Wagner. In this picture, he is about 7 weeks old and weighs around nine pounds. I saw him again today and he is huge! Okay, not really, but he is growing. He is now 13 weeks old and weighs about 21 pounds. As of his last vet visit, he has gained about three pounds per week. There's gonna be a horse in the family soon. He is a lot of fun to play with and to watch. He has the puppy curiousity but is still a sissy that runs behind his momma's legs at the first sign of trouble.

Great Picture

This is a photo of Dennis arriving in PCB. I have walked that pier many times. It is amazing to think that waves got that high. I will guess-timate that the water to the pier is normally around 20 feet where that little building is. Again, I am stunned to think water got that high. WOW!

Good Advice

No man or woman is worth your tears, and the one who is, won't make you cry.

Don't waste your time on a man/woman, who isn't willing to waste their time on you.

Chinese Crest Hairless Dog. I recently got to see one of these poor creatures in person. She is truly a homely looking dog. Good thing Lucy is sweet.

The Movie Theater

I went to see The War of the Worlds with Stacey and Drew during their visit to Indiana. After missing the beginning of the 6:20 movie, we decided to go the the 6:50 showing. Alas, I am getting ahead of myself. While walking through the parking lot, we met a nice old lady who seemed to be a bit distressed. She asked if we could help her. We walked over to her to learn that "someone" had stolen her rental car keys from the movie theater, went out to the parking lot, started her car, locked all the doors, but took nothing. Now...you be the judge. At first, I thought perhaps this lady was truly the victim of some rude people. Then we learn a little history. This is the second time - in a few days - that she has had to have the police help her with mysteries of her car. The first was a hit and run accident about a week prior. The same police officer that helped her at the scene of the wreck is the same gentleman that showed up to help her figure out the mystery of the key faeries. While roaming around the car, we notice that the back end is crunched up a little bit. She has no idea what has happened. Someone must have hit her car! Drew points out that perhaps this car would have to be say, oh, 8 feet off the ground for it to impact where the damage was. Again, Bambi- like stares from the woman. Amusing. We leave this woman in the capable hands of Evansville's finest and continue on to the movie. We realize that she arrived at the movie theater, left her car on, went to see a movie then came out to the parking lot confused and forgot any of that had happened. Poor thing.

Now we are caught up with why we missed the 6:20 showing of the movie, yes? yes. We find some seats and are patiently waiting for the previews to start when Jr. says to me, "Drew would like his BJ". I am confused. A. Why is she telling me this? B. Why am I involved at all? So, I say, "What?". Again I hear, "Drew would like his BJ." I'm thinking maybe Drew is in the wrong type of theater. ;) The giggles start as everyone realizes what she implied. Drew wanted his Beef Jerky, which was in my purse, 'cause they don't sell beef jerky at the theater.

Oh, and the movie was Great! Thanks for going with me.

Indy

John will be installed as the Eighth District Commander this weekend in Indy. Don't fret if I am slow in answering the e-mails as I too will be in Indianapolis to watch this event. He has to wear a suit. ;) It's actually quite a snazzy looking suit. He will not like it much though. It's gonna be HOT. The weather I mean. lol. I'm sure I'll be taking pictures so I will post a few. Then everyone can peek at the new Commander in his new suit.

Batman

I went to see Batman Begins today. It is playing at the Imax theater so it was especially nice. I thought it was a really good movie. The end was quite amusing. Calling card, indeed.
